Peggy Suite

Peggy Suite Overview

First Impressions

Walking down Calle Pompea in Dorsoduro, you might almost miss Peggy Suite — and that’s actually part of its charm. This three-star boutique property sits quietly in one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods, away from the tourist chaos but still perfectly positioned for exploring. The entrance feels more like stepping into a friend’s elegant Venetian home than checking into a hotel, which honestly sets the tone for the entire experience.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about Dorsoduro — it’s where actual Venetians live and work, not just where they sell overpriced gondola rides. You’re literally in the top-rated area of Venice (couples give it a perfect 10, and I can see why), with the Peggy Guggenheim Collection practically on your doorstep and the Accademia Bridge just a pleasant stroll away. The morning walk to St. Mark’s Square takes maybe 15 minutes through winding streets that most tourists never discover. You know what’s really nice? There’s a local bacaro right around the corner where you can grab cicchetti and wine without paying tourist prices.

The Suite Experience

The suites here — well, they actually feel like suites, not just regular rooms with fancy names. Each one has its own personality, with original Venetian touches like terrazzo floors and period furniture mixed with modern comforts that actually work. The bathrooms are surprisingly spacious for Venice (trust me, this matters), and the beds are genuinely comfortable. I mean, after a day of walking on stone streets and climbing countless bridges, you’ll appreciate sinking into quality linens.

Daily Life at the Property

The staff here gets it — they understand that Venice can be overwhelming, so they’re genuinely helpful without being pushy. They’ll point you toward the less crowded route to the Rialto or suggest which vaporetto stop to use depending on the time of day. There’s no formal restaurant, but honestly, you’re in Dorsoduro — some of Venice’s best dining is literally steps away. The property keeps things simple and does it well, which feels refreshing in a city that can sometimes try too hard.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects what happens when a place focuses on location and authentic experience over flashy amenities. Couples especially seem to connect with the intimate atmosphere and the fact that you can actually have a quiet moment together without fighting crowds. The neighborhood gives you that “living in Venice” feeling during the day, but you’re still close enough to duck into St. Mark’s Square when you want that classic tourist moment. It’s sort of the best of both worlds, and for a three-star property, Peggy Suite delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense.

To book a hotel in Venice during Biennale openings, guests juggle Giardini previews with lagoon aperitivo cruises.

Reviews of Peggy Suite

• Gregor from United States – 2 December 2024 (10/10)

  Comfortable, clean and great location

• Heather from Canada – 16 October 2024 (9/10)

  This was a really nice apartment with a small private garden attached. It is on the ground floor but it was still quite quiet. The door and keys worked well. Alessandro met me when and where we arranged and he was great at thoroughly explaining the keys, garbage, washing machine, etc… There is lots of hot water and a nice shower. The apartment was very clean.
  
  What could be improved: It’s on a very narrow and kind of dark alleyway. It’s a little uncomfortable for a solo female travel at night but nothing bad happened and the area seems quite safe.

• Pavol from Slovakia – 26 September 2024 (9/10)

  Staying in Peggy Suite was a real treat. Despite appartments compact size everything was available. And most importantly the city was right behind the door. Also enjoyed the garden, there aren't many places like this.
  
  I recommend arriving by the water, even if it takes more time. It's the best way to explore Venice. Take your time to plan the arrival, many options could be a bit overwhelming.

• Catrina from United Kingdom – 11 September 2024 (8/10)

  The suite was compact, nicely decorated and had everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. The patio was a lovely bonus and the location was ideal for all connections.
  
  What could be improved: We should have thought to put away the patio chairs so they didn't get wet when it rained! They didn't get dry before we left, so we couldn't make use of the space as much as we wanted.

• Cameron from United States – 3 September 2024 (10/10)

  Very helpful and communicative host! Great location. Facilities were well equipped and AC was amazing with the summer heat. 10/10 would recommend you book here!

• Yevhen from Ukraine – 20 July 2024 (10/10)

  The hotel is located on Calle Pompea in the Dorsoduro district, one of the most picturesque and peaceful areas of Venice. In the immediate vicinity, there are restaurants and cafes, as well as the Conad supermarket, making our stay incredibly convenient.
  
  The apartment is fully equipped with everything necessary for cooking: olive and vegetable oils, coffee, tea, sugar, and salt. All necessary cleaning supplies were also available, which made our stay much easier. The washing machine and dryer were particularly convenient.
  
  The courtyard has a large sunshade, and the garden with mandarin and lemon trees creates a paradise-like atmosphere. We are very grateful for the attention to detail: the garden is treated against mosquitoes, the apartment has fumigators and mosquito coils (spirals), as well as spares and a lighter. Thanks to this, there were no mosquitoes at all.
  
  The apartment has everything for a comfortable stay: a hairdryer, convenient outlets, chairs, tables, and lamps. The shower with a gas water heater adds convenience and comfort. It’s also worth noting the high-speed gigabit fiber optic internet and satellite TV, which provided excellent entertainment and connectivity.
  
  Peggy Suite is within walking distance of a water bus stop, making it easy to get around Venice. The place is perfect for those who want to enjoy the city’s atmosphere while staying in a quiet and cozy corner. From the apartment, you can easily reach numerous attractions.
  
  Proximity to the Accademia Bridge
  The apartment is close to the Accademia Bridge, through which you can quickly get to the city center and St. Mark’s Square.
  
  Finding routes was easy with Moovit, Google Maps, and visit-venice-italy.com/transport-vaporetto-venice-italy.htm
  
  Gratitude to the Host
  We wish the host comfort, prosperity, and health. Special thanks for taking care of your guests and providing detailed and thorough instructions about the accommodation. This made our stay even more pleasant and hassle-free.

• Pamela from Canada – 7 June 2024 (10/10)

  The property is Simply extremely amazing

• B_oleg from Russia – 30 April 2024 (10/10)

  1. The apartment is compact but sufficient. The main advantage is its own courtyard, with a huge umbrella, a table and 4 chairs, orange and tangerine trees around. behind a high wall, completely hidden from the street. silence and romance.
  2. The apartment has morw than everything: 4 types of coffee makers :), 3 opening bottles, laundry and dishwasher powders, tea and freshly ground coffee, olive oil, mosquito repellents and ao on.
  3. Window to the courtyard, safe opening, comfortable bed.
  4. nearby supermarkets (small ones take 1 minute and big ones take 7 minutes). quick access to the center via the Academy Bridge 4. very, very clean
  5. The owner is available 24 hours a day via whatsup, takes you by the hand to the nearest store, helps with advice and tickets. We felt not just service, but cordiality. Bravo, Alessadro!

• Edward from United States – 30 October 2023 (10/10)

  Meals were not provided although a large bottle of water awaited in the refrigerator. The kitchen itself was amazing – dishwasher included. The collection of kitchen appliances/tools, dishes, pots was complete. I bet you could cook anything you wanted there. The neighborhood provided a small market nearby for provisions. Also a cafe with an array of tempting small desserts, morning espresso, evening cocktails. We never ate dinner there, but customers seemed satisfied – Bar da Gino. We did dine in a splendid, reasonably priced restaurant nearby – Ristorante Agli Alboretti. The servers and manager are outstanding!
  Kudos also to Alessandro – brother of the owner who lives nearby – and his native English speaking wife, who helped us feel at home in the neighborhood – right behind Galleria Accademia. What an ideal location!
  
  What could be improved: Even the weather was perfect – We'd stay there again for sure.

• Gregor from United States – 29 October 2023 (10/10)

  Extremely helpful and friendly hosts. Very smooth check in and departure.
  This apartment is in a fantastic, peaceful location and the little garden is an oasis of calm in this very busy city. Our little dog was made very welcome.
  Everything we needed was provided in the apartment.
  Highly recommend. This is a great, very Venetian, place to stay.
