Fondazione Levi has some limitations, but the benefits outweigh the downsides. First, it is about as close as you can get to the Accademia Bridge without actually sleeping under it - perhaps 50 meters. We found it in the dark with no problem. A vaporetto stop is just across the bridge, and for those so inclined, there is a taxi... More

The Foresteria is wonderfully located in a historical palace near the Accademia bridge , but is a bit shut off from the surrounding views The style is that of a dorm or youth hostel . The rooms have no air conditioned , no safe , no minibar , a narrow shower and we had to protest to get a telephone... More

I stayed there for 3 days with my parents and had a great experience. The location was perfect, a few steps from academia bridge and walking distance from piaza San Marco, restaurants and stores. The service was excellent, they were always available to give us information and help us with our needs. On the last day we had to leave... More

This was a last minute call to get a room, as our trip to Venice was unplanned. So part of me was happy to have anything. We only stayed one night, arriving very late and leaving early in the morning. It is near the Accademia Bridge but most ppl like to hang out near the Rialto. The hotel is very... More

My family (middle aged professional couple and 2 boys aged 11 and 8) spent three nights in Venice at this hotel 24 25 26 July 2008. We had read about the place in Rick Steeves as a budget but clean place to spend time in Venice. As we were on an extended tour of Italy (six weeks) we had been... More

I booked our two night stay at this hotel based on previous reviews, the price, and the location. Based on the expensiveness of Venice, I thought that the Foresteria Levi was a decent deal in a centrally located place, right by the Accademia stop on the water bus. (Which by the way, we were unable to find when we got... More

A very good bargain given the price of a double room, cleanliness and location in the heart of venice. 10 min walk to Rialto or to San Marco square. Very easy to reach. Get off Accademia stop (water bus=vaporetto) and cross over the canal bridge to the left side. Immediately after the bridge, turn to the second street entrance (before... More

We had the 3-bedroom suite. Bedrooms were fairly big with high ceilings. Most beds are firm, but I got one that was fairly soft and comfy. No a/c, but the stone buildings seem to keep fairly cool. Keep windows closed in evening to keep mosquitos out. Just one bathroom, but at least the toilet and shower is separate from the... More

I had to cancel a 5-day stay due to a medical emergency in May this year. Called them 3 full days ahead to cancel but they charged my credit card for the whole 5-day stay, regardless. And that, at the height of the tourist season when they should have had no problems reselling the room... They send you their extreme... More
