Hotel Gardenia is a family-run hotel with a great location right by the sea in the heart of Lido di Jesolo. The building is a little older and a bit garishly decorated in the common areas (think bright shades of pink, yellow, and blue throughout), while the guest rooms have a much more modern, chic feel. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are reserved for guests at the nearby sandy beach, and the hotel serves a varied breakfast buffet that includes cold cuts and pastries, along with a four-course dinner. With plenty of family-friendly amenities and free bike rentals, it’s a solid mid-range pick for unfussy travelers looking for a low-key beach vacation.
