Pensione Accademia Villa Maravege - Velence

It was quiet, discreet, beautiful, gracious, tranquil.

Morning coffee not great.

The front desk staff were cheery in the morning and very helpful for city guides, and arranging a water taxi; including allowing for a delivery of 1-1/2 case of wine to be stored when we were not present. the outdoor patio breakfast garden was lovely.

Nothing. Everything was fine. We had a quiet and comfortable room.

very good location. Close to the train station and to San Marco. You can walk and avoid taking the vaporetto

Location, service and cleanliness. It was very good value for money, among the best I have been at anywhere in Europe.

There is no lift, and for older people who live on floors one and two (and younger ones who have heavy luggage), it might well be a steep climb up and down.

Staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The grounds are very relaxing and the location is excellent.

Marvelous place with unique athmosphere! Everything is excellent and it truly differ from any usual hotel! It definately deserves way more than 3 stars Location is great (this area of the city is the best in my opinion) Breakfast was delicious indeed Amazing private gardens! Very helpful personnel! It is a perfect choice if you want something special in such a breathtaking city!

close but not too close to city sights friendly helpful staff lovely gardens clean and well looked after charming large room the availability of the Murano trip

we thought it might be better if evening food was available - this is not a criticism

We stayed 5 nights at this delightful and friendly hotel tucked behind the Accademia in Venice. Our room was very comfortable with en-suite facilities and a breath-taking view over 2 small canals and part of the Grand Canal which they fed into. Morning breakfast was delightful, taken outdoors (but under Gazebo cover) and copious with a wide range of choice. Our stay in this excellent hotel gave us quiet nights (it is slightly off the beaten track) and yet ridiculously easy access to the Grand Canal, St. Mark’s Square and all the other Venice attractions. Almost a toss of a coin could decide whether one went to the “touristy” parts or to the more local parts where Venetian children played under the watchful supervision of parents and grandparents in the square. Good local shops, including a small supermarket where one could get one’s Sambuca or Prosecco at next to nothing, helped to keep costs down. The € 50 Vaporetto ticket (unlimited travel for a week) is worth getting – because we must have spent hours on the Vaporetti, going out to Murano or riding round Venice at night. This hotel is very near the Vaporetto stop at Accademia and so we found that we did not need to bother with water taxis when we were laden with luggage. The staff at the hotel were friendly, efficient and good-humoured. We shall stay at this hotel next time we come to Venice!

Pensione Accademia is a delight - position, views, garden, staff. Everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.

The location and the building, is an old venetian villa with a beautiful garden

Too many pieces of furniture in the room

A brilliant setting, and great location for touring Venice. Hotel is very nice although room was a little small, I suppose that is to be expected in a city location. A good breakfast provided on an open air terrace overlooking a canal. Staff are efficient and professional, although lacking a little in warmth. This is the second time we have used Villa Maravege, and would happily do so again if we were to visit Venice again.

The location of the hotel was excellent. The gardens and the building surpassed expectations. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast service was good.

I have no complaints about the hotel. There was however the problem of noise from a night club across the canal, en route to the Accademia, which went onto 4am on two mornings which perhaps the hotel can investigate for the benefit of other clients.

We most enjoyed the beautiful patios and gardens. In addition, the staff was delightful and helpful. We had a lovely breakfast each day on the patio overlooking a canal and had wine in the center garden each evening. These quiet moments framed our busy days in Venice. The location, near the Accademia Bridge, was convenient for touriing Venice on foot. Finally, our room was lovely for a small European hotel. The room had hardwood floors and antique furniture. The bathroom, though modest, provided a well working shower and tub. We most definitely would stay there again!

We were on the canal side and loved having our windows open at night. However, we soon learned that the street noise from a nearby bridge could be pretty loud. It was cool when we were there so we could shut the windows but in the hotter weather, it might be an issue.

The position of the hotel was excellent - quiet, away from crowds but with easy access to everything.

Hotel staff were courteous and helpful, great location, very nice room.
