Top hotels in Tessera
Hotel Venice Resort Airport
Nice hotel with excellent and helpful staff, The property is vast and impressive. The main deterrent are the beds in double rooms which are really tiny. Also, I got a room on the ground floor close to the reception, and the soundproofing was extremely poor with lots of noise coming from the lobby ...
