Green Garden Resort - Smart Hotel

We booked this last minute because we wanted an extra day near Venice. The free parking was very convenient. The rooms were spacious and clean. It provides many sporting facilities such as tennis courts and swimming pools. There are many shops nearby (just a car ride away).

Remote hotel. Not much here. Clean though and v comfy beds but no fridge in room! Breakfast is bland and forget the eggs/cheese if you’re a veggie as they mix them with ham and bacon. Get your bus tickets from the newsagent at the back of the hotel. Tell reception tho as the gate is locked and you can’t get out without your card, Tickets are 1.5E each way, The shop closes for a siesta bet 1230-3.30pm. Lidl is across the road selling bottles of water for 25c. We arrived late as flight delayed. Our key was left in reception. Grumpy man on reception next day demanded our passports and promptly asked us to pay a tax of 47E. Last minute did not tell us about this extra hidden charge, Nothing on at night time, we had a few drinks outside but loads of mozzies. Venice well worth the trip and aching legs. You will do 000’s of steps! Bring comfy shoes. Don’t bother paying 80E for the gondola tour, just get on the public ‘Traghettio’ that the locals all use. A steal at 2E each way. We timed it so we could sit on the end so we could get the perfect pic. All in all not bad, was ok but forgettable. Will think twice about booking with Last minute and WIZZ airlines again as v stressful and tortuous journey/experience.

We were looking for a mix of pool and relaxation and sightseeing in Venice and this hotel was perfect for just that! A taxi takes about 15-20mins into the centre of Venice (40 euro there with a private taxi and around 30 euro back with a public taxi) even with The taxi it was still LOADS cheaper and nicer than staying in Venice. The pool and sports facilities are part of a country club that the hotel is attached too. Fantastic clean pool and sun bed area - with a small cafe. The restaurant onsite at the hotel was very nice but a little pricey and not many veggie options but was fine for us as we had dinner in Venice each night, but seems most of the hotel guests did eat in the restaurants and seemed to enjoy their meals. Breakfast is served in the same restaurant, a decent breakfast, nothing that particularly stood out but simple enough. Fresh fruit and more pastries would be good but we were satisfied with it. The hotel is very clean and set in a beautiful quiet , green setting away from all the hustle and bustle. David at reception was Very helpful and went out of his way to help with whatever was needed. The only comments I wld say that the hotel could improve upon is providing free towels for use at the pool (currently have to pay extra for that) and for reception to be manned in the evening when guests and coming and going. There is someone only at the desk till 6/7pm. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and was a perfect tranquil oasis before/ after returning from touring Venice.
