Traveler reviews
Pauly
★★★★★2 months agoCampo Santa Margherita was a fantastic area to stay in Venice. The square is lively and filled with restaurants, cafés, and convenient pizza-to-go spots, giving it a great local feel. It’s only about a 5-minute walk to the water taxis, has a nearby Conad supermarket for essentials, and is roughly a 20-minute walk to Piazza San Marco. A perfect base for exploring Venice while enjoying a more authentic neighborhood atmosphere.

★★★★★4 months agoGreat squere. When we were there a small fish market was open. According to the information we had, the market was popular with locals and it turned out that in the middle of the biggest crowds on St. Mark's Square, it was relaxing, authentic and still lively enough. We enjoyed it.
