Very happy with our stay. The host responded quickly by WhatsApp when I missed the email about how to enter the building. The place is very clean, close to the Vaporetto (don't even need to go up stairs and over bridges to get to the building), a very convenient location. Also has a kitchen with supplies that I wasn't expecting. I would definitely stay again if I get the opportunity to visit Venice again!

The room was prepped and ready earlier than the listed check-in time, which was really nice since we had an early train from Florence to Venice. There was access to coffee/tea and some snacks in the common kitchen if you wanted. The building was clean. The room was clean and all the amenities worked well. It was about a 10 minute walk from/to the bus station (Piazzale roma) which takes you to/from the VCE airport/train station in 30 minutes. The stay on island was located away from a lot of commotion, which was nice, and the other guests in the building were quiet. Walkable to St. Mark’s square and other museums and churches. Many good restaurants around and only a short water taxi away from other parts of the island for more exquisite dining. Overall, great budget-friendly stay and exactly as posted. Grazie Mille!

For the price, the location & quality of stay was fabulous. Just keep in mind that it's not a hotel; it's a guesthouse. There isn't daily housekeeping. But that's fair given the affordable pricing. The room was very clean and spacious. I think the walls are extremely thin but other guests were very quiet and courteous so the stay was very pleasant. No complaints and will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Venice!

Location was great. Near vaporetto, shops and restaurants, two beautiful churches and yet off the main tourist trail so quiet. Easy to find and access the property. It was really nice to have use of the kitchen area with coffee machine and a few breakfast snacks. Also some nice touches in the room.
Single room was quite small but had everything. Only fridge was a bit noisy.

I really enjoyed my stay. It is self service and they email you an access code with instructions. I had a simple twin single. It is about a 5 min walk from the ca’Rezzonico vaporetto stop. The orange line boat from the airport also stops there. Plus no bridges between the stop and the guest house if you have luggage. Lots and f cafes around and shops. Close to Santa Maria glorioso Del frari and two vaporetto stops from San Marco.

The Santa Margherita Guesthouse was great. Our room was clean and beautiful. Check-in was easy and Maria had tons of little things that made the stay so nice-candies and biscotti in the room, guidebooks and maps available etc. It was easy to find and close to shopping and restaurants. We were very happy with our stay and would recommend this guesthouse to family and friends.

Venice visit

Loved our place, excellent location, host went above and beyond in providing assistance. Because of the heat in Venice we were pleased to have a place to relax during the day. We also enjoyed the two nearby “campos” and getting lost in the Venice “calles.” We would definitely go back to the Santa Margherita Guesthouse!!

A little gem in N.W. Dorsoduro. Away from the crowds. Laid back vibe. \"Mi casa es su casa\" Maria was helpful and quick to reply to questions. Nice breakfast and has a community kitchen if you want to prepare meals. The room was adequate and clean. Short walk to Campo San Barnaba for food and drink. Easy walk to vaporetto stops Rezzonico,Basilio and Zattere. If you like the B&B type of place, this is for you. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Ideal location and super helpful host

Located in Ca Rezzonico (which is so perfect for the vaperatto to San Marco and Rialto) the guest house is clean and well situated.
Maria was amazingly helpful giving the best advice on how to arrive at the guesthouse directions from Marco Polo, timings and cost as I was travelling alone this really put me at ease!
I was in the single room above the street make sure to close the shutters and windows so you dont hear the bell tower or street noise, the room was cleaned daily nice private bathroom (a lot of places have shared so this was a bonus) there’s breakfast available which consists of cereal and a few jams etc. Always coffee and juice available but towards the vaperetto stop there’s a few little cafes and bakery so I had my breakfast there!
There’s an amazing garden restaurant just at the end of the road (which I can’t remember the name of) but you follow a little side path to find it.
Maria was always a message away she even helped me with directions for for my return journey as I was travelling back through Treviso the bus stop at pl.Roma is just a 10 minute walk to the airport.
Overall I adored my stay and would recommend and stay again!

Great Location - breakfast suffers.

Breakfast is unattended and only from 8:30 to 9:30. We had to leave earlier to catch our flight. Since breakfast is only pre-packaged goods (nothing fresh) it would be better if it started at 7:30. Also, coffee is not very good. In-room tea kettle was helpful.
Check-in is done remotely via email - no on-site person. Map provided by email was very helpful.
It is very close to the ferry from Croatia and Alilaguna ferry to airport.

Venice is such a maze that, despite excellent directions, we got lost on our way. However, were very happy when we found this gem of a place! It would be nice if breakfast were available a half hour earlier (starts at 8.30) but that is my only quibble. Very clean and comfortable, good WiFi, lovely host.

We had a lovely little room with lots of windows and a private bath. Very nice breakfasts with a good variety were served each morning. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beds seemed awfully narrow, but turns out that's common in Italy. You just need to make sure that, if you roll over, you do it on one spot or you're over the edge.

A lovely spot for a brief stay!

This was a very nice place to stay. First and foremost the staff....all of them....were wonderful and very accommodating. The location is exactly what I wanted. The breakfast each day was lovely and on nice days I sat on the small and beautiful terrace. Was welcomed with Prosecco, biscotti and chocolates in my room. Nice touch! When I locked myself out one day they were so kind and helped me right away. My only complaint was the noise between the rooms.

With thanks

We enjoyed our stay at Santa Margherita Guesthouse. I particularly would like to thank Maria for her special consideration of my dietary requirements. Maria leaves juice and milk in the kitchen for all to use, but in addition to this she went out of her way to leave lactose free milk, cheese and yoghurt for me. The accommodation is very good and you can easily get to all parts of Venice either by walking or water bus.

Like staying with family & friends

Had a lovely time with my daughter. There are only six rooms so very personal and Maria and staff were very friendly -it feels like staying with family or friends. The room was clean and modern. The continental breakfast is beautiful and free (we've been charged for less worthy spreads in other hotels)!

At Santa Margherita everything you need is within a city-block. There's a fruit stand around the corner, espresso, bakeries, pizzerias, and finer restaurants, as well as cute little artsy shops. The glass jewelry shop next to the GROM gelato bar has unique inventory made by the shop owner. His friend does the glass blowing and he makes the jewelry! During our three night stay we walked and took the bus boat to as many different neighborhoods in Venice as possible, and I found myself coming back to the neighborhood around the hotel (Dorsuduro). Loved it!

Quiet location in Venice

As this is a guesthouse everything is selfservice. You have to make you own coffe in the morning, there is a basic selection for breakfast. It is in a quiet location in venice, only 15 minutes walk from the train station. The room and bathroom is clean, and in a fairly new state.
