Set just outside Venice and within walking distance of Mirano, 400m/450 yards, a smaller town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Mira, on the Brenta Canal renowned for its Palladian villas, is 5 minutes' drive. There are several 18-hole golf courses in the immediate area, as well as two famous thermal spas. Venice is reached by car via Piazzale Roma, 20km/12.5 miles, then by either private motoscaffi or public vaporetto, or from the new terminal at Fusina, 17km/11 miles, and an hourly ferry ('traghetto').
