Combining modern style and traditional Venetian welcoming hospitality, Avogaria 5 Rooms redefines the Venice guesthouse experience.

Location and Setting
In the heart of Dorsoduro, the art center, Avogaria 5 Rooms has the privileged location of being both secluded and close. Just a short walk from the main attractions, such as the Zattere promenade, Gallerie dell'Accademia, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the guest house is located in an area filled with relaxed elegance, where narrow alleys provide views into peaceful canals, neighborhood cafes, and hidden art ateliers.
Vaporetto station San Basilio is within a short walk from the hotel, making it convenient to reach Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge, and Giudecca Island. For the guests who are arriving at the airport or train station, the convenience of the location makes for an easy changeover from arrival to relaxation.
Though near the city center of Venice, Dorsoduro maintains its Venetian charm — a city neighborhood where Venetian residents, students, and art enthusiasts coexist with one another to create a vibrant yet peaceful ambiance.
Architecture and Design
Avogaria 5 Rooms is situated in a lovely restored Venetian building that painstakingly marries past and present. The building still retains classic details such as wooden beams and rough-hewn brick walls, while the interior is a manifestation of a sleek modern sensibility.
Each nook is designed to bring peace and relaxation. Warm hues, dim lighting, and natural textures — wood, linen, and stone — bring about a sense of serenity. Touches of artistry, from subtle paintings to meticulously selected furnishings, contribute to the harmony and aesthetics of the property overall.
The room has access to a private garden and courtyard, a green oasis in the densely constructed Venice. The peaceful outdoor space is perfect for breakfasting, reading, or simply absorbing the ambiance.
Comfort and Rooms
Living up to its name, Avogaria 5 Rooms proudly features only five uniquely designed guestrooms, each individually configured to blend elegance, comfort, and warmth.
Rooms also feature modern amenities like air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. The decor combines neutral hues with refined finishes — upholstered headboards, plush linens, and carefully crafted accents that nod to Venetian craftsmanship.
Some of the rooms open directly into the garden or private patios, and some have walk-in showers or Jacuzzi bathtubs for that added touch of pampering. Each of the rooms has been meticulously designed to provide an atmosphere that is intimate yet luxurious, ideal for couples or those seeking solitude.
The attention to detail is apparent in all the small things — from the spa-like scented bath products and plush towels to the well-placed lighting that brings out the natural textures of the space.
Dining and Breakfast Experience
At Avogaria 5 Rooms, the morning begins with a continental breakfast taken in the room or in the serene courtyard. Continental breakfast is made up of oven-fresh baking treats, seasonal fruits, Italian coffee, and light refreshments. There is ample time to begin the day at one's own pace, with the gentle hum of the canals in the distance.
While there is no full restaurant within the guesthouse, its location in the town center guarantees that accessing Dorsoduro's renowned eating establishments is just a walk away.
