Arriving in Venice
Piccolo Vecellio is 7.1 km from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), where Alilaguna water buses and land buses serve the city. Venezia Santa Lucia station is about 1.6 km away, roughly a 20-minute walk. Venice has no roads for cars: arrivals park at Piazzale Roma or Mestre and continue by vaporetto water bus, water taxi or on foot, and luggage usually crosses at least one stepped bridge. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
