3* Hotel Olimpia – Bibione

At the Hotel & Aparthotel Olimpia, guests can indulge in everything they desire from a modern 3-star hotel located right on the beach. Boasting completely renovated facilities and management, Olimpia sits centrally in Bibione Spiaggia, just 50 meters from the sea, a stone’s throw from the main avenue, and 900 meters from the Bibione Thermae area. The hotel, fully equipped with air conditioning, features a spacious and bright hall with a lounge where guests can enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or read a good book. An American bar, an excellent restaurant, and a solarium equipped for relaxing sunbathing and a pool for family entertainment add to the hotel’s attractions. Free parking is available, subject to availability. Whether travelling alone, as a couple, or with a large family, the Hotel & Aparthotel Olimpia is the perfect place to stay.

The last Veneto beach you encounter before entering Friuli Venezia-Giulia is Bibione. Here, too, tourism has been the main resource for several decades, but well before other seaside resorts Bibione has focused on eco-sustainability and cycling tourism. Clean, perfectly organised, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and just a stone’s throw from green areas of extraordinary beauty, Bibione’s beach is perfect for combining comfort and nature.

To say that Bibione is a seaside town would be reductive. The waters that have forged the territory and identity of this famous Veneto seaside resort are of no less than 5 types: the salt water of the Adriatic, the brackish water of the lagoon, the fresh water of the Tagliamento river, the hot water of the thermal baths and finally the waters of the waterways. Despite the many hotels, the landscape retains a wild charm, with marshy and wooded areas, and invites long explorations on foot, by bicycle, horseback or kayak. On the other hand, it is quite correct to say that Bibione is an ideal location for a perfect beach holiday. The fact that it is called ‘All Beach’ should be enough to convince you that this is true, but if you have any doubts it is worth specifying that Bibione’s extensive coastline, 10 km long, is up to 300 metres wide.
