Pineta

The Pineta is the easternmost part of the Lido di Jesolo, where mass tourism thins out and a world of Mediterranean pine woods, consolidated dunes and silence begins. There are no big blocks here: villas, bungalows and small low-rise buildings prevail, immersed in greenery, with the public pine wood forming a natural boundary between the homes and the beach.

It's the traditional choice of families from the Triveneto who in the 1970s–80s bought a second home by the sea and who today return for long weeks, long weekends, and increasingly for spells of remote working. The atmosphere is intimate, almost village-like: people say hello, neighbours know one another, children play in the street.

The pine wood itself — 70 hectares of forest among maritime pines, squirrels, rare birds and remains of Second World War bunkers — is a protected natural heritage. Walks, jogging, a bike lane all the way to Cortellazzo, and in 5 minutes you're on the beach. In winter the silence is almost surreal.
