Hotels in Venice

Late spring and early summer will offer you a perfect mix of warm days and fresh air - perfect for lounging on a lazy Gondola ride. Those looking to bask on the Lido will find July and August the perfect time to travel. Winters can be magical and are the best time to take in the sights without the usual crowds, but this is also when the annual flooding tends to occur.
