Travelling to Venice

Flights

Marco Polo Airport: Getting to Venice couldn't be easier, Venice Marco Polo airport is just 30 minutes away by water taxi. The water taxi can stop directly outside the apartment, on Fondamenta San Maurizo. The cost of a water taxi from the airport is approximately €130.

Most of our guests make their own travel arrangements. However, we are happy to offer assistance if required – although you or your agent will need to finalise any travel bookings.

Train

Venice Railway Station: is 20 minutes away by Vaporetto to the San Samuele stop, which is an 8 minute walk from the apartment.

A water taxi from the station takes less than 20 minutes and costs €69.

The station is not an unreasonable 25 minute walk from the apartment but probably only to be attempted if you have a small amount of luggage.

Car

If you travel to Venice by car you have two choices:

  • Parking on Venice Island itself.
  • Parking on the main land.

If only staying for a few days we would recommend staying on Venice at CAR PARK NAME AND DETAILS

If staying for a long period then it is worth considering staying at a car park on the main land. We would recommend Marive Transport. The WhatThreeWords locatiom of the car park is removal.nimbly.harp. From there you can a private water taxi or take a Marive Alilaguna shuttle.

Transfers from the airport

Water Taxi

A water taxi from the airport is the way to guarantee that you start your holiday in relaxed way. The cost of the taxi is approximately €130.00. We use ####### who can be contacted on #####TBA or +39#######

Alilaguna

There is a regular Alilaguna service from Marco Polo Venice airport to Venice.

  • The Linea Arancio stops at San Angelo and Santa Maria del Giglio. The journey is 1 hour and 3 minutes to San Angelo and 1 bour 10 minutes Santa Maria del Giglio. It is then an 8 minute walk (and two bridges) to the apartment from either stop but the walk from Santa Maria del Giglio is more straight forward. This is our recommended route, if you are not taking a water taxi. The timetable for the Linea Arancio can be found on the Alilaguna web site.
  • The Linea Blu stops at San Marco. The journey is 1 hour and 23 minutes. It is then a 12 minute walk (and five bridges) to the apartment.
