CA’ ROMANTICA – BIG APPARTMENT at ACCADEMIA

Hotel Description

Welcome to CA’ ROMANTICA – BIG APPARTMENT at ACCADEMIA, a charming three-star accommodation nestled in the artistic heart of Venice, Italy. Situated in the culturally rich Dorsoduro district at 981 Campo della Carita, this fourth-floor apartment (Quarto piano) offers guests an authentic Venetian experience with the comfort and convenience modern travelers seek. With a solid rating of 7.4, CA’ ROMANTICA has established itself as a reliable choice for visitors looking to immerse themselves in the true essence of Venice while enjoying comfortable accommodations.

The location of CA’ ROMANTICA could hardly be more ideal for culture enthusiasts. As its name suggests, the apartment sits near the prestigious Accademia Gallery (Gallerie dell’Accademia), home to Venice’s most important collection of pre-19th century art. The Dorsoduro district is known for its slightly quieter atmosphere compared to the bustling San Marco area, yet it remains centrally located and easily accessible. From here, guests can stroll to the iconic Accademia Bridge spanning the Grand Canal, offering breathtaking views and connecting you to San Marco in just minutes. The nearby Campo della Carità square provides a genuine glimpse into local Venetian life, with its characteristic open space surrounded by historic buildings. Art lovers will appreciate being steps away from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, while those seeking Venetian architecture can visit the nearby Ca’ Rezzonico or the stunning Santa Maria della Salute church at the entrance to the Grand Canal.

The apartment itself honors its romantic name, offering generous accommodations that stand out in a city known for compact living spaces. As a “big apartment,” CA’ ROMANTICA provides guests with room to relax and unwind after days spent exploring Venice’s narrow calli and bustling campos. The fourth-floor location, while requiring some stair climbing (a common feature in historic Venetian buildings), rewards guests with potential rooftop views and the characteristic charm of upper-floor Venetian living. The 7.4 rating suggests consistently satisfactory experiences from previous guests, indicating reliable service and comfortable amenities. Visitors particularly appreciate the authentic neighborhood experience, placing you among locals rather than solely among tourists. This apartment serves as an excellent base for exploring Venice’s artistic treasures, sampling local cuisine at nearby bacari (traditional Venetian wine bars), and experiencing the romantic atmosphere that has made Venice famous throughout the centuries. Whether you’re planning cultural excursions to museums and churches, shopping adventures along the Zattere promenade, or simply wish to get lost in Venice’s enchanting maze of waterways and alleyways, CA’ ROMANTICA offers a welcoming retreat in one of the city’s most desirable districts.

Reviews

• Daria from Ukraine – 24 November 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment has a very good vibe. The bookshelves, the valance above the bad, the sights from the windows – everything pushes you to take photos there again and again:))) I didn't understood from the description, but the second bedroom is on another floor and has a second toilet room, it was very convenient for us! Well, some furniture is old (esp. in the kitchen), but we loved it:)
  And thank you for coffee!!!
  
  What could be improved: Sometimes it was cold (21-24 November), there's automatic heater, but sometimes we found it cold (maybe we didn't understand how it works)

• Darius1128 from United Kingdom – 21 April 2024 (6/10)

  Next to the apartment door key box doesn't working properly,owner trying charge us for "city tax",which was not accepted No any city tax this year,just keep in mind
  
  What could be improved: Communication with owner

• Marlene from Australia – 28 June 2024 (7/10)

  The location was fantastic. Apartment quite spacious.
  The help of the locals when we couldn't get access to the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: It was extremely hard to access the property, due to lack of communication and not answering the phone. It took us 2.5 hours to get access.
  Has to be an easier way. Very frustrating.

• Mike from Romania – 23 April 2023 (7/10)

  Location is his strong point – 3 min walking from vaporetto, 3 min from a market + a gellateria and a wine bar are close by
  Apartment is very spacious, good view from windows and mostly everything you need to stay and eat.
  
  What could be improved: – Most of all – heating – it is only remotely controlled by the host mostly according to his wish . In our case, we have some terrible nights, frozen, looking for all kind of blankets. It is totally uncomfortable to sleep like this and also to ask the host all the time to increase the temp or change the schedule when is on.
  – Hot water mostly missing or you have to be patience to wait for it
  – Bed from upper bedroom is making noise and uncomfortable to sleep in it. But his toilet is very cute
  – Some parts from kitchen may be repainted
  – I have the feeling that we have too many rules – From the moment we book we receive a message that we should send " immediately " a whatsapp message to be in contact. Then a binder is welcoming you in the room and few more pdf files was sent with all kind of very useful info but also with rules. We are a decent family and agree with rules but still… generally we have the feeling here was too much.
  – Especially last section of the stairs ( 3rd floor) sometimes is hard to get
  – Communication with the host at the beginning was not so good and we even thing of looking for another place. But after we arrive answers was quite prompt and ok.
  – At arrival the toilet washbasin was very dirty. Host was very prompt and offered to re-clean it. But his explanation was a bit surprising and does not makes me feel good : they have other 5 locations to clean before us and …. "is Sunday for everyone"

• Michele from Australia – 18 November 2024 (9/10)

  The location is perfect, central and close to all facilities -tourist attractions, restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, markets, etc. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and fully equipped
  
  What could be improved: The stairs. We did know about them but it doesn't mean we had to like them.

• Krae from United States – 20 September 2023 (8/10)

  Hard to say how much i liked Fabios apartment. The character fits Venice perfectly so i felt like i was living in the authentic Venice. All the comforts. Great location quiet yet close to everything in the neighborhood i would chose every time, Academia. Great roof top views from all aspects of the apartment. Fabio was a great communicator and super helpful. I have two apartments i rent so i know good quality when i see it. Highly recommended.
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• Hernán from United States – 17 July 2023 (8/10)

  The location, cleanliness, and how spacious the property was.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was perfect.

• Richard from United States – 18 May 2023 (8/10)

  This is a wonderful LARGE apartment in the heart of Venice. It offers two bathrooms and a separate bedroom in an upstairs loft. It also offers a full kitchen with stove, microwave and refrigerator. It does require climbing steps. It's top (third floor) location offers nice views of the Venice roof tops.

• Michael from United Kingdom – 3 May 2022 (9/10)

  Lovely space, with double aspect windows. Comfortable furniture and good privacy for sharers due to upstairs bedroom having own en suite
  
  What could be improved: Some of the windows and shutters were hard to open and close and the stairs were quite steep and uneven – but worth it for the roof top views!

• Esme from Germany – 9 August 2022 (9/10)

  The appartment was nicely decorated and had all the things we needed. It was wonderful to be able to stay in Venice in our own place.
  
  What could be improved: When we stayed there, it was incredibly hot and we needed to open all the windows. The mosquitos ate us alive! The place could do with some mozzy nets or air con.
