This bright and sunny apartment is comfortably located just a 10-minute drive from the Venice Marco Polo Airport and a 10-minute walk to the Mestre-Venice train station.

Although this apartment is located near some great neighborhood restaurants, if sampling the local produce yourself is on your itinerary, this apartment does not feature a full kitchen, rather a kitchenette, so it lacks an oven.

Luxury? Budget friendly? Both?
Staying in Mestre can save you major cash while still giving you access to Venice, Marco Polo Airport, and other Italian cities. In Mestre, whether traveling alone or in a group, you don’t have to choose between a nice place to stay and adhering to your budget.
