We read a lot of conflicting reports about the Acadamia B&B but our impression could not be better. The accommodation is very simple to find, step of the Vaporetto at Acadamia and turn right, right again at the first cafe and then right again just past an art shop (left) and gift shop (right), big iron gates are the frontage. The landlady was very welcoming and has a good command of English. Our room was fabulous and even having to share a bathroom was really no difficulty at all. Breakfast was continental but more than enough, we didn't need lunch 'til mid afternoon. Our early morning alarm, as our room was right next to the dining room, was classical music - a pleasant way to start the day. At the end of the stay we had the opportunity to pay by either cash or visa and we were able to leave our luggage at the B&B until we were ready to go to the airport. All in all, we have absolutely not hesitation in recommending Acadamia as a first class base in Venice.

The location is really convenient. Would come back again. However I do wish they would let me know that there is no TV in my room (some rooms does have TV). If you want to take boat from airport to the hotel, you can get off at Zatterie.

we have recently returned from Venice and had 4 nights at the art academy B&B. We didn't arrive until 10.30pm and the welcome wasn't great. I got the impression that we had kept her waiting and she hurridly told us about the keys and then practically run off!! The bridge and also the art acedmy was undergoing some construction work so the views of the bridge were completely runined and breakfast on the balcony was slightly noisy with all the building work. The room itself was great but make sure you don't end up staying in the room by the breakfast room as I can imagine you get woken early. No air con though and we were struggling a little at night with the heat so it would be much worse in the height of summer. BE WARNED, there is a nightclub just round the corner that's open till 4am everynight which is really convenient if you want to go clubbing every night, but no so convenient if you want to get a good nights kip. It was very noisy until at least 3am and people leaving the club tended to hang around just outside the window of our room. Very annoying. Breakfast was fine, just your bog standard continental with slightly stale bread!! One thing that we found confusing was that it was not clear who all the staff were, or whether they were the owners? We met 3 different people, none of which told us who they were so we politely said Ciao all the time to everyone!! Best thing about the hotel (when the construction work has finished!) is the location, great position to visit everything and walk everywhere. The liveliest square campo santa margherita (beer also quite cheap here compared to everywhere else) is about a 5 min walk. All in all not a bad B&B but next time I think we will try and find a place that is a bit more tucked away.
