North America, Fort Lauderdale
Our favourite Ft Lauderdale resort
Villa Venice was built in the 1960’s as an apartment block and converted into a gay men’s retreat some twelve years ago. It's located just 2 blocks back from Ft Lauderdale beach and just a fifteen minute walk to either the gay sections at 18th Street or Sebastian Street. The Galleria Mall for shopping and great restaurants is also 15 minutes walk away.
In recent years, it has been substantially upgraded by Terry to provide 20 clean and comfortable guest rooms in a unique European style. The staff are informative and helpful and create a welcoming atmosphere while the lush pool and fountain make a great place to hang out if you don’t fancy the beach.
Our Deluxe rooms have Queen size beds, whilst the Salon Suites (pool view) are larger and have either a King size bed or 2 Queen size beds.
Our rates include local sales and accommodation taxes of 11% and 5% gratuities.
Villa Venice is a small intimate property, so please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your choice of apartment is available.

Rating and advising on hotels around the world is a tricky business as standards and facilities vary so widely not to mention issues such as décor style, service levels and location with particular relevance to gay amenities.
We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
