The Belvedere apartments:
If you go out the door behind the building, you are in via Garibaldi, the ‘widest’ street in Venice and a delightful string of open-air cafes and restaurants, bazaar, fresh fish and vegetables and of course Gelato, everywhere.
Places and suggestions:
The Lido of Venice: In just two vaporetto stops from the apartment, you can reach the Lido island with its elegant Liberty style Villas and the prestigious Alberoni golf club, the nice beaches and the long tree lined boulevards. At the beginning of September there is the famous International Film Festival. *** The Giardini: The Gardens of Venice, the fresh green lung of the city, can be reached with a two- minute walk from the Belvedere apartment. They host the international exhibition pavilions for the Biennial of Contemporary Art and Architecture. *** The islands of the Lagoon: From Riva degli Schiavoni, a few steps away from the apartment, you will find the vaporettos that lead to the splendid islands of Murano (glass production), Burano (lace embroidery) and Torcello (Romanesque abbey church): to witness the architectural and artistic treasures of the Venetian Lagoon is an experience that should not be missed.

Golf:
The Lido of Venice is also known for its international golf club (Golf Club Alberoni), inaugurated in 1930 by Count Giuseppe Volpi and built on the site of an historic military fort. Due to its meandering 18 holes carved through green pastures and pine trees, the course is today considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
