Pensione Accademia is a rare find—set in a beautiful historical building with lush front and back gardens, which is quite unique for Venice. It’s quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk to the Accademia vaporetto stop. Rooms are spacious and the air conditioning works well, though the shower doors could use an upgrade.

I have no reservation in recommending my friends to stay in this hotel. Excellent experience!

Wonderful location in Dorsoduro. Quiet. 5 minute walk to Accademia Vaporetto, and about 6 to Alilaguna Orange line stop at Cà Rezzonico (for return to Marco Polo airport) Short walks to many museums. Great restaurants all around. Very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Had a fantastic time. Thank you!

This is an old, well-established locally owned hotel. Staff was very helpful and location is 2-3 mins from the Academia vaporetto stop which was very convenient. Charming public spaces, garden and outside patio. Not a great place the for hot summer months. AC is very weak. Our room was always 78-79 degrees. They gave us a small desk fan and we took cold showers each night, but for North Americans is was too much. No elevator. They will carry your bags up to your room. Be sure to check the room set up. Our room was oddly shaped with low ceilings and the bed sat on the floor. It was comfortable, but too low for an older couple to get up from at night and in the morning. Breakfast was acceptable, nothing special. Very clean, traditional pensione and Antonio the morning clerk was kind and helpful.

Beautiful place and in a great location.

The hotel rooms and property were wonderful it was easy walking from the airport taxi boat stop. We loved the location - quiet but walkable to all Venice neighborhoods. Breakfast was delicious and staff pleasant and helpful. Note: Our stay was in the high heat of the summer, so the air conditioning was struggling to keep up. That was my only reason for 4 stars on amenities. I recommend this historical hotel!

The location was perfectly located for exploring Venice, and the room was very comfortable for our family of 4. Staff was exceptionally helpful.

Good location and value

Staying at Pensione Accademia was the icing on the cake of my much-enjoyed 4-day visit to Venice. The front desk, breakfast room, and bar staff were uniformly gracious, well-informed, and helpful. The breakfast array was delicious, and starting each day dining on the hotel's shaded patio was a treat. The location couldn't be better--just west of the Grand Canal, midway between the Ca'Rezzonico and Accademia vaporetto stops, with a varied assortment of nearby restaurants and cafes. My room was well-appointed, with a terrific view of the hotel's front garden and the Grand Canal beyond. The air conditioner worked wonderfully. I stumbled onto this gem of a small hotel, and am very glad I did.

The breakfast each morning was fantastic. We did travel in the middle of the summer during a heat wave, so despite an air conditioner in the room, our room was incredibly hot and humid. After we had too many hot nights with an air conditioner not keeping up, we complained and were moved without an issue to one of the coldest rooms in the property. They even moved our luggage. Although the TV didn’t work in the new room, it didn’t matter because the air-conditioning was full blast and cold. A very attentive and helpful staff.

Es hat uns gefallen die Ruhe im Garten des Hotels zu genießen und trotzdem sehr zentral zu wohnen.

Wonderful experience!

Didn’t know they still made hotels that were so pleasant to stay in. Everything was top notch. Breakfast wonderful- sit outside and watch the boats on the canal. Staff appears to be long time devoted employees. A plus. Staying there is a very good experience.

The location was excellent. Really easy to get to the vaporetto, Guggenheim and Grand Canal. Lovely tranquil gardens.

A wonderful stay in Venice. The hotel is located in a quieter and more authentic neighborhood, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, and the breakfast was generous with plenty of variety. I would happily stay here again.

Second time staying in this charming hotel. Rooms have been updated. Staff is attentive and close by. A quiet and friendly place to stay. Will visit again.

Absolutely everything. A perfect place to stay and enjoy Venice.

I just checked out of Room 54 this morning May16,2026 and I have to report that there are ants in the room right next to the bed where I slept. I have pictures that I showed Adriano at the reception desk and I would attach them here if given the opportunity.

Our view was amazing. The staff was wonderful and answered all our questions. The room was spotless, We actually left something and they contacted us that they found it. It was a great location. The breakfast was amazing. We would love to stay there again.

Fantastisk sted at overnatte i Venedig og vil helt klart komme tilbage
