Hotel Serena is a family-run 3-star hotel located on the Isola della Schiusa in Grado, just a 5-minute walk from the main beach.

Hotel Serena is located on the Isola della Schiusa, one of the most central and popular areas of Grado, overlooking the lagoon and just steps from the town’s tourist heart. The property is closely connected to the Serenella restaurant, run by the same family that owns it, just 20 metres from the hotel, and to other well-known local eateries such as Locanda di Ambriabella, 50 metres away, and Al Parco, 150 metres away.
The main beach can be reached in about 5 minutes on foot (300 metres), while Spiaggia Costa Azzurra is just over 1 km away. Those arriving by train can rely on Cervignano Aquileia Grado station, 16 km away, connected by a bus stop near the hotel; the most convenient airport is Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari, also about 16 km away. Nearby you’ll also find Parco delle Rose (650 m) and the Ruins of the Church of San Grisogono (800 m), a testament to the island’s ancient history.
In summer, Grado offers long walks along the seafront and days at the water park, 700 metres from the hotel, as well as boat trips through the lagoon. In cooler months, it’s worth visiting the House of Biagio Marin, a Grado-born poet, about 1 km away, or heading to Aquileia, with its Roman Market and Roman River Port, both about 10 km away, for a glimpse into the area’s Roman history.
