"Mestre is a small island, which is part of Venice in Italy. Venice is set out over one hundred small islands situated in a lagoon and joined together by bridges and water ways which tourists use to travel around, by the use of gondola boats.
Mestre remains a very historical city, with traditionally Italian architecture and the majority of hotels in Mestre match this renaissance style. The hotels in Mestre also cater to a wide range of budgets, and the types of accommodation differ from bed and breakfasts, guest houses, and ‘pensions’, to luxury 5* hotels on the waters edge.
The main Piazza is known as Piazza Ferretto, and has a number of landmarks and sites located around this main square, as well as numerous shops and fine Italian eateries.
The two main parks located near the hotels in Mestre are the Parco San Giulliano and Parco Bisuolla, both of which have good sports facilities and breathtaking views across the water of the Venice lagoon."
