About Chalet dei Giardini Margherita
This venue sits on an island in Giardini Margherita and turns a daytime café into a seasonal discoteca with a floating dance floor on the park pond — the island setting and the water feature (turtles, fountains) are the thing that makes it different. Terraces and outdoor tables look over the lagoon and access is via two pedestrian bridges.
The programme is seasonal: the site and Google note the discoteca reopens with DJ-led nights from spring/summer and runs varied-genre evenings. Our listings show a salsa/bachata social on Monday; outside that the place operates as a café (regular hours generally 08:00–19:00). Summer nights draw a student-heavy crowd and fill after dark.
Practical points: much of the dancing is outdoors and weather-dependent, several reviewers flag basic toilet facilities, and the venue functions more like a pop/club night in high season than a dedicated Latin dance hall — check the venue’s Facebook/Instagram for exact night schedules.
