Pensione Accademia - Villa Maravege - A historic Venetian mansion with lush gardens and canal views

Pensione Accademia - Villa Maravege occupies a 17th-century palazzo in Dorsoduro, a tranquil district known for its museums and art galleries, including the Accademia Gallery and Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The three-star hotel features two private gardens, one facing the San Trovaso Canal, where guests can enjoy a continental breakfast outdoors. Rooms are individually decorated with Venetian-style furnishings, terrazzo flooring, and modern amenities such as air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, USB sockets, and kettles with complimentary tea and coffee. Superior rooms and Junior Suites offer canal or garden views, with some including separate living areas. The hotel provides a private dock for water taxis and is a 15-minute walk from St. Mark's Square. Small-medium dogs are permitted for an additional fee.

The breakfast impressed me with its wide selection of cheese, cured meats, and creamy baccala. the staff was very helpful. They greeted us at the water taxi dock and carried our bags. the rooms were super clean and spacious, with grand canal views from sizable windows.

i noticed that there were only stairs, and there was no elevator available. this proved challenging when carrying luggage to the upper floors.
