Villaggio San Francesco

Two kilometres of Adriatic shoreline anchor Villaggio San Francesco at Duna Verde, a pine-backed resort strip roughly 80km northeast of Venice and closer to Caorle's fishing harbour than to any city crowd.

Four pools, three restaurants, a gym, and a private beach make this a self-contained family resort — free parking suits the majority who drive from northern Italy and Germany. Check-in opens at 17:00, so late-afternoon arrivals are the norm.

Duna Verde sits between Caorle and Eraclea Mare, offering a quieter alternative to busier Jesolo while keeping the Venice day trip under 90 minutes by car.
