We stayed in Padua [Padova] few years ago - its only about 15 [fast] to 30 [local] minutes away by train. The train trip into Venice was easy

If you look at sites such as;-

it will give you some hotels near the station.

The view as you exit the station in Venice and go down the steps towards the Grand Canal is fantastic.

Hi,
What about Ferrara (north of Bologna)? It's a small Unesco World Heritage town and apparently there is a train link to Venice.

We stayed at [URL="http://www.ilbagattino.it/"]Il Bagattino - Room and Breakfast - Ferrara[/URL] - a bed and breakfast right in the centre of Ferrara. We found it through Karen Brown web-site, and generally speaking, have found the places recommended on her web-sites to be of good quality.

Happy travels!

Hows about catching a boat into Venice instead.
OK its not the Ritz but its just off the m/way looking straight across to Venice, is very cheap and safe,with direct boats across to the magical city.....
