We spent six nights in late June 2022 at the Pareus Resort. Our goal was to travel without a rental car, so we took the night train from Germany to Venice Santa Lucia, spent half of the day in Venice and then took the regional train to S. Donà di Piave (side note: ALWAYS make sure to validate your ticket in Italy, even if you bought one for a specific train!). But in contrast to the description on the Pareus Resort website, there were no Taxis waiting to take tourists to other destinations. We thought we came prepared and ordered a Taxi via the itTaxi app. When the angry driver arrived almost half an hour later, he was not happy that we called him and told us that he was the only driver in the area and that it would take him at least an hour until he could pick us up. We then called the Pareus Resort reception, which sent us a driver who took us on an adventurous, reckless ride to the resort. It cost 70€, but we were really happy that they helped us out. If you plan to make your trip without your own car, I’d suggest you request a taxi from a Caorle-based company in advance which we did on our way back. It was a little cheaper (60€) and the driver arrived perfectly on time. There is also a bus service in the area, but it will take more than one hour and you still have to walk quite a bit. When we arrived at the resort, we were greeted by the lovely local staff and received our silicon straps that functioned as NFC keys to the resort‘s gates and our house. We were situated at a ‚Superior’ house which I assume refers to the fact that it is located on the second floor and not to any superior level, as those were the ‚Villa mare‘ that also come with some additional benefits. Our house was nice for two people and a dog, but I definitely think it would be way to small if you intend to stay with more than four people. The beds were nice, but there are only four of them, so be prepared to sleep on a couch if you plan to come with more people. The kitchen is okay, but again, a little small and not enough cutlery for more than four. Unfortunately, the front of our dish washer nearly came off as there was a loose screw. Every room has its own air conditioning, so the house stays cool even on hot summer days. However, we soon discovered that condensation built up below the machines and the walls were really wet. We even discovered mold on the ceiling above the air conditioner in the living room/kitchen, which was really concerning. Another downside: the internet is just awful! Normally I would not care, but I had a very important Zoom Meeting scheduled on the second day of our trip that I was not able to postpone. And it was a nightmare. The wifi randomly disconnects every few minutes and it’s not even enough to enjoy a movie on Netflix in the evening. Unfortunately, the cellular connection was even slower. Not ‚high speed‘ at all, as advertised by the resort. The pool area is really nice, but definitely mainly intended for kids as it is rather on th
