Family hotel near Venice with swimming pool

We will be visiting Venice for 4 days at the end of July and would
like to know whether anyone can please recommend to us, a hotel
suitable for a family. It needs to have a swimming pool.

We will be relying on public transport and will be visiting Venice and
surrounding areas, so it needs to be within an hours reach of Venice.

In terms of price we would be looking at either 3 or 4 * hotels. We
would need either a family room or 2 interconnecting rooms. There will
be my wife and I and our 2 children aged 8 years.

If anyone can give us a recommendation, that would be great.

Thanks,

Evan

Try this one:

Or search the Novotel chain.
Be aware that swimming pools do not necessarily
come with lifeguards, so don't think of just dumping the kids and not
paying attention. bill

Is that a pool? I always thought it was a wet football field.

Will you be spending more than one day in Venice? If so, I would
recommend spending at least one night in Venice proper so you can see
the city at night and in the morning. However, a pool in Venice would
normally be found only in very deluxe hotels. In fact, a pool would be
a rarity in a 3 star hotel anywhere in Italy. Even many 4 star hotels
don't have pools.

In fact, if you need a pool, you may need to stay in a less urban
setting, which will limit your public transportation possibilities.

Would the sea be a reasonable sustitute for a pool? If so, you might
consider one of the towns on the Venetian Riviera.

The only considerable city within an hour of Venice is Padua, but I
think it would be hard to find a pool there. Padua is half an hour
from Venice by train and also has good train connections to other
cities in the region.

At those prices, it should be a 7 star hotel.

Since no one has said it yet, I will (tongue-in-cheek):
Why not just stay in Venice and let the kids swim in
the "streets." On secod thought... :-/

I thought the beach at Venice was not bad, but I haven't been there in
12 years.
