Casa Margherita Accademia’s location is truly enviable, situated within walking distance of the prestigious Gallerie dell’Accademia, which houses Venice’s most important collection of pre-19th century art.

Reviews

• Helen from United Kingdom – 22 April 2024 (9/10)

  spacious, well equipped and in a quiet but convenient location.

• Elizabeth from Australia – 27 May 2024 (9/10)

  The photos did not display how nice the apartment was. It was modern with a great kitchen, beautiful master and ensuite overlooking the canal. 2nd bedroom was large, great 2nd bathroom and living room. Clean and well set up on 1st level. 2 supermarkets close by turn right or left, location was great transport from grand canal or the main waterway, Easy to walk to all main attractions
  
  What could be improved: We got lost and spent 4 hrs in the hot sun walking with luggage around in circles due to the host, simply not bothering to give good instructions or meeting us. An address in Venice means nothing. We flucked it. Having found the place there was no signs with the name of the residence. We had actually walked past it within 5 mins of the taxt stop! There was no washing machine as advertised, which caused issues due to extensive travel before arriving.

• Claire from France – 31 October 2023 (9/10)

  Large, classy appartment, very nicely furnished. Well located, very clean and well equiped. Kitchen was large with all the amneties. Equipments were comfortable, in line with the pictures. Host and neightbourghs were very friendly. Location is nice, 15 walk away from all the city attractions. Central & quiet. I highly recommend this place! Will be back if I can 🙂
  
  What could be improved: Nothing – it was all perfect.

• Katja from Croatia – 8 August 2023 (9/10)

  The location is perfect, quiet and near 2 vaporetto stations (Academia and Zattere). Apt is huge, very clean, smells nice and has 2 bathrooms. The beds are very large and comfortable. A/C works well. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. Has Nespresso machine and dishwasher. There are nearby grocery stores. Great for families with children (we were with 3 and they loved it). First floor, easy to climb for seniors and kids. We recommend San Trovaso restaurant, 5 min walk from the apartment, with great local food and reasonable prices. The host is nice and responds quickly.
  
  What could be improved: internet is not perfect, but who needs internet in Venice

• Julie from United Kingdom – 30 May 2023 (9/10)

  Excellent property in our favourite (less touristy) location. Equipped with everything we needed, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Will definitely try to book the apartment next time we’re in Venice.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to fault.

• Katja from Croatia – 25 June 2022 (9/10)

  perfect quiet location. very clean and comfortable. walking distance from two vaporetto stations (academia and zattere). great for familes.
  
  What could be improved: hosts don’t speak english but there is google traslate 🙂

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

  Top quality apartment. Spacious, comfortable, stylishly furnished and well equipped.
  The location is perfect – just 5 minutes from Zattere vaporetto stop, less than 10 minutes from Accadamia.
  Quiet location on a small side canal, the walkway has a dead end just after the apartment so you do not get folk walking past all night long.
  
  What could be improved: Internet connection is via a 4g modem in the apartment, I think it ran out of allowance 2 days before the end of our stay ; all connections just stopped. We didn't come to Venice to spend time on the net, so didn't bother us, but on a rainy day or with children/teenagers this might be a problem if your own mobile phone has a poor signal (Vodafone didn't penetrate the old building).

• Maggie from United States – 11 June 2022 (7/10)

  a great location, quiet yet good access to things. Nice, clean place.
  
  What could be improved: no Internet after the first day. router just disappeared. Address initially given showed us the incorrect address, had to rely on kindness of stranger to help us find it.

• Consuelo from Spain – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

  el apartamento muy limpio, cómodo y perfectamente equipado
  
  What could be improved: por poner un pero, la descripción de la ubicación. en venecia los números de las casas van de corridos en todo el distrito. así la descripción sestiere dorsoduro 750 es algo muy vago de entender. deben indicar nombre de la calle "fondamente venier"

• Emmanuel from France – 4 November 2024 (9/10)

  Les chambres. L’emplacement.
  
  What could be improved: Le manque de vaisselle.
