Near the Grand Canal, this 17th-century villa offers its own private garden, a quiet setting, and a central location in Venice near the Accademia water-bus stop. Free WiFi is provided.

You can reach main shopping areas and St. Mark's square in just 15 minutes from Pensione Accademia.

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Venice life is a 17th-century palazzo (a hop skip and jump away from Gallerie dell'Accademia & two vaporetto stops - Accademia or Ca'Rezzonico), where all your emotional needs are met here. The staff are lovely with an air of genial surprise as if we'd wandered in by accident with wheely suitcases hoping for respite and a pillow to lay our heads on. There's a wee bar and soft furnishings to flop into by the fire after dinner in a local restaurant such as Osteria Enoteca Ai Artisti providing you like fresh raw shellfish, fresh tortellini, and the lightest and fluffiest tiramisu. The breakfast scene in the hotel is bathed in sleepy silence, pillow lines on the faces of guests still visible. A fresh croissant, a square or two of local cheese and jam, a bowl of cut up fruit. You know it well. Ask one of the friendly staff to make you coffee in the kitchen as best to avoid the coffee machine in the breakfast room as it's... well.... not very strong.

    What a location, San Rocco one side, Frari on the other. These are the great works of Venice, not the Rialto or Saint Mark's. Easy walk to the Grand Canal stop, plenty of local food shops and bars. But on a quiet, lightly used passageway. A lot of work on the interior design, to refit two large en suites into a thin brick shell. Very stylish and well maintained.
