Hotel Villa Odino - Quarto d'Altino, Italy     

We recently stayed at the Villa Odino for our wedding anniversary. We wanted to do Venice but did not want the hassle of getting to the city hotels by water. This hotel was first class in all aspects. Tastefully decorated room, staff and service excellent. Not far from railway station for direct service into Venice Santa Lucia. ( 30mins ) walk out of the station and view the grande Canal. Only one criticism, the hotels restaurant is 2 kms away but it is excellent. You need a car or take a taxi into town (1km), hotel also has bicycles for the fit and healthy, for local restaurants etc. All in all a great weekend.

I am not one to use the word "exceptional" often in my opinion of service providers. However, our stay at the Villa Odina was exceptional. The hotel was quite comfortable with the amenities you would expect from a hotel this size. However, the service provided by the hotel staff was truly exceptional. This was the last of 5 hotels at which we stayed during a 17 day tour of northern Italy. The staff was helpful and attentive and provided us with the best service we had during our trip. The suggestion for the wine tour at Santome was a gem. Take advantage of the shuttle service to the train station.
