Italy has it’s fair share of seaside vacation destinations, from Cinque Terre to Ischia to the Amalfi coast. These beautiful locations have earned their fame and attract many tourists every year. For a more low-key Italian beach vacation, consider staying in Grado. This fishing town is relatively unknown aside from local Italians and Austrians, who have historic ties to when the city was an Austro-Hungarian spa resort. Grado sits between Venice and Trieste and is in the middle of a lagoon, connected to the mainland by a long causeway. The city is surrounded by sandy beaches, which is one of the main reason for visitors. However, Grado has something for everyone: there is a medieval city center with windy cobblestone streets, several beautiful churches dating back hundreds of years, and dozens of places to eat and drink. If you’re planning a visit to the so-called L'Isola del Sole, or Sunny Island, check out these Airbnb vacation rentals in Grado.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 01, 2024.

1. Modern accommodation by the sands

This apartment rental has everything you could need to feel at home. It is sized for two guests, with one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room with television. The apartment is on the first floor but still has its own balcony to enjoy the sunshine. Guests also have access to free parking, which is hard to come by in Grado! Leave your car and tour around the city on the complimentary bicycles included with your stay. The apartment is located right along the Canale de Schiusa, which separates Grado from Schiusa Island. The island is accessible by a pedestrian bridge and offers beautiful views of the ocean.
