Venice & Treviso Airports: How to Arrive
Arriving in Veneto to stay at Casa Lilla means choosing between two nearby airports: Treviso Antonio Canova (TSF) and Venice Marco Polo (VCE). Both connect to Mogliano Veneto in a short time, about 15 minutes from the first, 20–30 from the second, but buses, taxis, car hire and trains work differently. This guide summarises practical options, realistic timings and what to expect on arrival, including on-site parking and self check-in.
The two airports: which suits Casa Lilla best
Mogliano Veneto sits between Treviso and Venice, roughly 8 km from Treviso centre and 15 km from Venice Mestre. For guests staying at Via Selve 57/1, Treviso Canova airport is closest: by car or taxi the journey is often under fifteen minutes, traffic permitting. Marco Polo is farther, around 20–30 minutes, but offers more international flights and bus links to Mestre and Venice.
There is no single right answer: it depends on flight times, budget, whether you hire a car and whether you prefer a direct taxi or public transport. In both cases, a base with private parking and autonomous check-in makes the first day much easier.
- Treviso Canova (TSF): ideal for low-cost carriers (Ryanair and others), shortest distance to Mogliano Veneto.
- Venice Marco Polo (VCE): the region's main hub, more frequencies and long-haul routes.
- Indicative car/taxi times: TSF → Mogliano ~15 min; VCE → Mogliano ~20–30 min.
- Both linked to the rail network via bus + train (longer than a taxi).
From Treviso Canova airport
Antonio Canova airport is in Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco, south-east of Treviso. Many Casa Lilla guests prefer this airport: the distance is minimal and the drive is straightforward, mostly on provincial roads and short motorway stretches.
Taxi fares vary by time of day and luggage, but the ride is short and predictable. Many guests book a private transfer or ask the host for reliable local services. With a hire car, follow signs towards Treviso/Mogliano: the A27 exit most commonly used for Mogliano Veneto is Treviso Nord or similar depending on your sat nav.
- ATVO bus or shuttle services to Treviso station: useful without a car and on a budget.
- From Treviso station: regional train to Mogliano Veneto in about 5–10 minutes.
- Direct taxi: most comfortable with luggage and children, door-to-door to Via Selve.
- Car hire at the airport: handy if you plan trips to the Prosecco hills, Venetian villas or the coast.
If you land at Treviso in the evening or with a delay, taxi or a pre-booked transfer remain the safest options: bus timetables can be limited outside daytime hours.
From Venice Marco Polo airport
Marco Polo is the main international airport for the Veneto. It is in Tessera, north-east of Venice, and is well served by ATVO and ACTV buses to Mestre, Piazzale Roma and Venice city centre. To reach Mogliano Veneto from Marco Polo you have three main routes: direct taxi/transfer, hire car, or bus to Mestre or Venezia Mestre station then train.
A direct taxi to Mogliano usually takes 20–30 minutes, longer at peak times towards the Liberty Bridge. The fare is higher than from Treviso because of the distance, but you avoid changes and carrying bags on platforms. Hiring a car at the airport makes sense for a week-long stay if you want to explore the province freely.
- ATVO bus Airport → Mestre station: frequent, affordable, then train to Mogliano (~10 min).
- Bus to Venice Piazzale Roma: only useful if you then take a train from Mestre (not from Roma).
- Taxi/private transfer: door-to-door, ideal for families or night arrivals.
- Hire car: follow signs for Mestre/Treviso and motorway exits towards Mogliano.
Do not think of Marco Polo as «far away»: for a holiday home in Mogliano Veneto it remains very manageable, especially if you plan your transfer in advance rather than improvising at the terminal exit.
Bus, taxi and car hire: a practical comparison
The bus is the cheapest option but takes time and requires attention to timetables. From Treviso airport, links to Treviso city are geared to low-cost passengers; from Marco Polo the ATVO network is extensive towards Mestre. In both cases you add the Mestre/Treviso → Mogliano Veneto train unless you take a taxi from the airport.
Taxi or a booked transfer costs more but removes stress: no waiting at stations, no stairs with suitcases on platforms. For groups of up to 7 guests plus a small child, sharing a van taxi can be competitive compared with individual tickets plus the walk to the house.
- Bus + train: low budget, total time often 45–75 minutes from Marco Polo.
- Direct taxi: maximum comfort, times similar to the indicative car journey.
- Car hire: worthwhile for 5+ day stays with day trips; at Casa Lilla you have enclosed parking.
- Ride-sharing apps: availability varies outside major centres; do not rely on them alone on arrival.
If you hire a car, check desk opening hours (some close late evening) and child seats if needed. On-site parking at Casa Lilla avoids daily fees and lets you leave the car safely while visiting Venice by train.
Train connections to Mogliano Veneto
Mogliano Veneto station is on the regional Venice–Udine line, with stops at Treviso, Mestre and Venezia Santa Lucia. Neither airport has a railway station inside the terminal, but both are linked to the network by bus.
From Treviso airport: bus to Treviso station, then train to Mogliano (about 5–10 minutes). From Marco Polo: ATVO bus to Venezia Mestre station, then train to Mogliano (about 10 minutes). Regional Trenitalia trains run roughly every 30 minutes in daytime; always check trenitalia.com on the day you travel.
- Tickets: buy in the app, online or at station machines.
- Get off at «Mogliano Veneto», not Mestre, if the house is your destination.
- From Mogliano station to Casa Lilla (Via Selve): about 5 minutes by taxi or car; not practical on foot with luggage.
- Last evening train: check if you arrive late, you may need a taxi from the airport.
The train makes sense if you arrive without a car and want to save money, but for the «last mile» from Mogliano station to the house a local taxi or a transfer that drops you at Via Selve is more practical.
Arriving at Casa Lilla: parking and self check-in
Casa Lilla is a 100 m² detached house at Via Selve 57/1, Mogliano Veneto, with a private garden and enclosed parking. If you arrive by car or hire car, on-site parking is a real advantage: no street hunting, no daily charges like in Mestre or central Venice.
There is no traditional reception: check-in is self-service. You receive clear instructions before arrival, code, key box or equivalent, so you can enter even in the evening without waiting for a host. This is especially helpful for late flights or if you prefer not to tie arrival to a fixed appointment.
- Private parking: ideal for your own car or a hire car for the whole stay.
- Self check-in: flexibility on arrival time, even after the last train.
- Location: between Treviso and Venice, a convenient base for airports, trains and day trips.
- Tip: share your estimated arrival time so the house is ready and instructions are at hand.
Whether you land at Treviso or Marco Polo, Mogliano Veneto remains one of the most balanced bases in the Veneto: close to both airports, connected to Venice in 15–20 minutes by train, and perfect for those who want space, a garden and calm after the journey.
