CASA MARGOT
Located in Fondamenta Narisi, in the culturally rich quarter of Dorsoduro, Casa Margot Venice offers visitors a budget-friendly and uncomplicated accommodation option in the midst of Venetian charm. While it is not as opulent as Venice's high-end palaces, it provides the bare essentials and an excellent location for travelers who are willing to experience the city's attractions without overpaying.
Directed towards individuals who prefer proximity and convenience, Casa Margot provides unpretentious hospitality. Situated near the Grand Canal, art galleries, and university quarter, it ensures visitors have the best of Venice at their doorstep.
Location and Accessibility
The greatest advantage of Casa Margot is its strategic location. Located at Fondamenta Narisi, 2900, the property sits at the crossing point of Venice's cultural and educational districts, close to Campo Santa Margherita, Ca' Rezzonico Museum, and Accademia Bridge.
Guests who arrive at Santa Lucia Train Station can reach Casa Margot effortlessly by vaporetto (water bus) from the Ca' Rezzonico stop or on foot in approximately 15 minutes along some of Venice's most scenic streets.
The location of the house makes it especially ideal for students, single travelers, and couples to walk around Venice. It is walking distance from:
Gallerie dell'Accademia – 7-minute walk
Peggy Guggenheim Collection – 10 minutes
Rialto Bridge – 20-minute walk
St. Mark's Square – 25 minutes walk or short vaporetto trip
Individuals are bathed in cafes, bakeries, and old-style Venetian osterie, where they get a glimpse of local daily life.
Design and Atmosphere
Casa Margot is simplicity itself. As opposed to the gilded palazzi of main Venice, this guesthouse responds with minimalist, homey style. The facade of the building preserves the charm of Venetian architecture with pastel-hued facades and shuttered windows overlooking peaceful canals.
Within, there is an informal, relaxed environment. The common spaces are simple but effective, designed primarily for functionality. Rooms are simply furnished, emphasizing the bare necessities — comfortable beds, plain storage, and compact private bathrooms.
While it has no luxury fittings and too much decoration, guests will appreciate the building's genuine local character and convenience of access to the daily pace of Venetian neighborhood living.

Housekeeping remains a top priority, since guests tend to remark upon the austere but clean state of the facilities.
