Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Apogia Sirio Mestre does not have a swimming pool — typical for compact city hotels focused on sightseeing rather than resort-style facilities. Lidos and lagoon-side promenades in Venice and the surrounding area are easy to reach by public transport if you fancy a waterside stroll or a day trip to the Adriatic coast in summer.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is a straightforward urban base with facilities designed around comfort and convenience rather than extensive leisure amenities. Expect:
• 24-hour reception and concierge-style assistance
• Lift access to all main floors
• Lobby and lounge seating areas
• Wi-Fi access for planning your Venice days
For fitness, spas and wellness, you’ll find options across Mestre and Venice proper — from hotel day spas to historic bathhouses — easily reachable by public transport or taxi.

Apogia Sirio Mestre is primarily a launchpad for exploring Venice and the wider Veneto region rather than a resort with on-site activities. From here you can easily:

• Visit the M9 Museum for an interactive dive into 20th-century history

As the hotel is offered on a Bed & Breakfast basis, you’re free to seek out bacari wine bars and neighbourhood trattorie in Mestre or the historic city for lunch and dinner.
On-site you can expect a cosy bar and lounge area for an evening aperitivo or nightcap after a day wandering Venice’s calli. Opening times and offerings can vary seasonally, so check the latest details at reception. What All Inclusive typically includes.
