UnaHotels Ecohotel Villa Costanza Venezia

This is an excellent small hotel whose values (as the name suggests) are environmentally aware. It is in Venizia Mestre, the land-side part of Venice and a separate railway stop. The room was very comfortable. We arrived early for check, so the staff kept our luggage and delivered it to the room while we went to explore the city. There is a full breakfast or "continental breakfast" choice. (I think some reservations include the full breakfast. If you like breakfast, this full breakfast is a great option. You need to tell them in advance -- there will be a tablecloth covered table with your room number. A great buffet, with many healthy options. There are special sections set up (labeled) with vegan food and with gluten-free choices. There was lots to chose from, all on real plates and tableware (no wasteful paper/plastic.) One of the best breakfasts at hotel we have had. The bus to the old part of Venice with canals is about a block and a half away. A 15-minute ride. You can also buy a transit pass at the hotel desk which includes the bus and the vaporettos ("water buses") which otherwise are really expensive -- almost 10 euros even if your ride is 5 minutes to cross a canal. As the sign at the desk says (true in many places) beware of pickpockets. The bus is crowded! A good value and experience. The hotel called a cab for us to go to the airport -- as I recall it cost about 30 or 35 euros.
