Italy Holidays

"Italy is a fantastic place to go for a holiday at any time of year."

Lido di Jesolo is a cosmopolitan beach resort based in the Venetian Riviera. Other parts of Italy such as Venice, Verona and Lake Garda are also easily accessible from this resort enabling you to combine a beach holiday with some sight seeing at some the world's most beautiful cities.

In Lido di Jesolo you will find 15kn of gently shelving sandu beach making this a perfect resort for children. Relax on one of the many sunbeds on offer (many hotels provide their own sections of beach with free sunbeds) or take part in some of the watersports on offer.

Weather is at its best in July and August where you are guaranteed many sunny beach days! But May, June and September are perfect months if you plan to head off and explore nearby cities such as Venice as the cities are less hit and corwded at these times.

If you plan to do the Venice day trip from Lido Di Jesolo in the summer one good tip is to take the afternoon/evening excursion when it is cooler and you can walk around the city with ease. You can enjoy an organised hour of sight seeing around Venice centre and St Marc's Square then wander off on your own to explore the delightful Campielli (little squares) and old fashioned eateries. There are also some lovely restaurants overlooking the Canal for a romantic evening meal perhaps after a ride on a famous gondola! Book a holiday to Italy and you won't be disappointed!
