3-star family-run hotel in an ancient Venetian house, 50 meters from the Accademia Gallery

Location & Access

The hotel is located 50 meters from the Accademia Gallery and a 4-minute walk from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice's Dorsoduro quarter. The Accademia vaporetto water bus stop is a 2-minute walk, providing service to St Mark's Square and Marco Polo Airport via Alilaguna. This area offers 75% fewer crowds than central tourist zones while keeping major sites within a 15-20 minute walk.

Rooms & Accommodations

The hotel occupies an ancient Venetian house with rooms spread across four floors, accessible by a lift. Each room includes air conditioning, a safe, and a refrigerator, with some offering private balconies overlooking the street or courtyard. Guests receive a welcome drink in the minibar upon arrival, including beer and still or sparkling water.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast is served in a peaceful shady garden during fine weather, offering a continental selection of pastries, fresh fruit, meats, and cheeses. The hotel's restaurant (adjacent but independently operated) serves lunch and dinner with local cuisine. Guests can also enjoy coffee from the breakfast service, noted by reviewers as some of the best in Venice.

Terrace & Garden

A rooftop terrace on the 4th floor provides panoramic views of Venice and the island of Giudecca. A small guest lounge on the 2nd floor offers a quiet space to relax. The garden terrace is also used for breakfast, shaded by a canopy in warm weather.

“I noted a charming, family-operated hotel housed in an ancient Venetian building, seemingly far removed from the tourist crush yet a short walk to the Accademia. The location struck me as ideal: close to major attractions, including the Guggenheim Museum, while offering a quieter, more authentic neighborhood feel. I especially appreciate that some rooms look out onto a peaceful garden terrace, hinting at a calm retreat amid Venice's vibrant energy.”
