Relais Alberti is a luxury maison de charme, XVI century. It is located in the center of the little village of Malamocco, on the island of Venice Lido, at 15 minutes by boat from saint Mark Square. This historical village has been one of the first original settlements in the city of Venice, close to the lagoon and the sea; very quiet and romantic place

At the Relais Alberti, food is 100% organic and handmade and comes daily from the bio orchard, starting from the breakfast, Alberti’s specialty, to the finger food and special recipes they offer their guests during the day.

Ancient tradition has it that Le Locandiere are always feminine figures, able to manage with passion and energy the wayfarer’s resting and nourishing areas. A smile is the key to their success: Le Locandiere are the true masters of hospitality and good food lovers. They stand upon the solid foundations of the Venetian tradition while looking at the future: this is the newborn concept of Le Locandiere.
