Grado

Suspended between the land and the sea, Grado rises in the middle of the northernmost of the Adriatic lagoons and boasts more than 1600 years of history, still visible today as you walk along the calli of the ancient Roman castrum, where the early Christian Basilica of Sant'Eufemia and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Grazie stand. An enchanting setting of unquestionable beauty and extraordinary natural wealth, the Grado Lagoon covers 90 square kilometres and includes two nature reserves that safeguard its biodiversity. The calm, clean sea, gently sloping shallow water, numerous fine sandy beaches and good food make this a very safe and protected location. This attention that Grado has always paid to its guests has meant that for 27 consecutive years the resort has been awarded the Blue Flag for environmental quality.
