Residence Modern Art

Residence Modern Art Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Residence Modern Art feels like stepping into someone’s carefully curated Venetian apartment — which, honestly, is exactly what you want in this city. The three-star property sits right in the heart of Santa Croce, and I mean right in the thick of things. You know that feeling when you find a place that’s perfectly positioned but doesn’t scream “tourist trap”? That’s this spot. The modern touches blend surprisingly well with Venice’s historic charm, though don’t expect marble lobbies or grand staircases here.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about Santa Croce — it’s where Venice starts feeling like a real neighborhood instead of an open-air museum. Residence Modern Art landed in what locals consider one of the best areas (there’s a reason couples rate the location 9.5 out of 10). You’re close enough to San Marco that you can walk there in about fifteen minutes, but far enough away that you actually get some breathing room. The Rialto Market is practically around the corner, which means you’ll stumble upon the most authentic Venetian breakfast spots without even trying. Plus, the train station is walkable — crucial when you’re dragging luggage through those narrow streets.

The Rooms

The accommodations lean more toward apartment-style living than traditional hotel rooms, which actually works perfectly for Venice. Most units have kitchenettes, so you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets and avoid eating every meal at restaurants (your wallet will thank you). The modern art theme isn’t overwhelming — think clean lines, contemporary pieces on the walls, and functional furniture that doesn’t compete with the views outside your window. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, because let’s be real, space is premium in Venice and they’ve made smart use of what they have.

Daily Life & Amenities

What I appreciate about staying here is how it encourages you to live like a temporary Venetian rather than just passing through. The staff knows the neighborhood inside and out — they’ll point you toward the bacaro that locals actually frequent, not just the ones in guidebooks. There’s no fancy spa or rooftop bar, but there’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right. The Wi-Fi works reliably (not always a given in Venice’s old buildings), and the air conditioning actually keeps things comfortable during those humid summer months.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back to Residence Modern Art because it strikes that sweet spot between authentic Venice and modern comfort. You’re not paying five-star prices, but you’re getting that excellent location score of 9.2 for good reason. It’s the kind of place where you can walk to major attractions when you want culture, then retreat to a quiet neighborhood street when you need a break from the crowds. The fact that couples consistently rave about the location tells you everything — this is where you want to be when you’re trying to experience Venice beyond the day-tripper circuit.

Reviews of Residence Modern Art

• Osvaldo from United States – 9 October 2024 (6/10)

  It was nice and clean.
  
  What could be improved: They have a bunch of rules in a booklet that they do not put in booking.com. For instance they expect you to clean the kitchen, leave the apartment “tidy” when you are paying for a cleaning fee. They also want you to take out the garbage, which is ridiculous. You are literally paying for that and they still expect you to do that.

• Lelde from Latvia – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

  Air conditioner was perfect, in summer it was very essential. Location perfect, quiet street, away from tourists. Bed comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Few things were not in the best condition, but were functional. There were no blankets for 4 people, no covers.

  Perfect location, stay, place.
  Away from the major crowd, still close to everything

• Jessica from United Kingdom – 23 September 2023 (8/10)

  Very good location, max 10 min walk from the train station (over two bridges). Supermarkets very nearby and plenty of restaurants etc. Easy access via self check in (contact via email from agency) and lift available. Clean and modern apartment with AC.
  
  What could be improved: Little things would have made this stay a little better (some essentials) e.g. no forks in the cutlery drawer, I think some light bulbs needed replacing, a small stash of washing machine products and a clothes airer would have been useful. There wasn't much of a supply of toilet paper and washing up liquid but that would be easily remedied.
  
  Overall it was a nice sized apartment in a good location.

• Mohamad from Saudi Arabia – 13 August 2023 (8/10)

  clean modern apartment
  
  What could be improved: difficult to reach the building

• Irina from Germany – 11 July 2023 (9/10)

  Great renovated apartment with everything you need at the heart of Venice. I have especially enjoyed the white crunchy bed linen, that was awesome, like a 5-star hotel.
  
  What could be improved: The support team is only available during certain hours, and everything is automated, so if any questions outside those hours, no one is there to answer.

• Victoria from United Kingdom – 19 March 2023 (9/10)

  Great location and very well furnished apartment, perfectly clean and so easy with the door code.
  
  What could be improved: Would have liked to have the sofa beds made up for our arrival.

• Aliceorange from Netherlands – 2 May 2022 (9/10)
