My wife and I have just returned from a 4 day stay in Venice and this little hotel is a wee gem!! Very close to the centre but in a nice area full of local bars and restaurants. As this was our 1st trip to Venice its an easy hotel to find, being right on the waterfront In Castello and... More

We spent 2 nights here in May 2012. We would say that this is an average choice. We had to switch from our original room because the AC didn't work without a banging noise. So, our 2nd room was quieter, and the AC seemed to work. What we didn't find out until the next day was even though they tell... More

This hotel is situated on the lagoon, looking back at the mainland. The premium rooms have a balcony overlooking the walkway and water. Excellent service, very friendly. Good breakfast choices. You're out of the bustle of Venice with this hotel, yet 5 minutes from San Marco. In the morning, the traffic goes left to right as the residents empty into... More

Excellent view from the "lagoon view room" - other tourists especially come under your window to look at this view. Calm location not far from San Marco. Enough tourist infrastructure nearby. It is quite easy to find the hotel for the first time. Helpful staff.

This was our third visit to Venice in recent years, but our first stay at Ca' Formenta and we couldn't fault it in any way - even as retired hoteliers! By Venice standards, it offers superb value for money. We arrived mid morning off the night train from Paris to a very friendly welcome. Our room (107) was already available... More

Just returned from a lovely weekend break in Venice.This hotel is so easy to find, as stated in another review just jump off the water bus from the Airport at Arsenale and it's just over 2 bridges to the right. We booked a room with a view at the front and it was just spectacular, a fantastic view of the... More

it just takes a walk from this hotel to San Marco's square and the city center, it's close to many shops, cafe's & restaurants .... it's also near the sea, this is all with very reasonable price. the room where I stayed for 2 nights was good & clean. the breakfast was fine. staff was helpful & smiling.

This was the second visit I have made to this hotel, and I would definitely recommend it... A small hotel with great staff, reasonably priced for Venice... and a fantastic location on the main lagoon waterfront. The reception, small bar and breakfast area are located on the ground floor, looking out onto the lagoon. Breakfast was a good selection. The... More

The location was great as you can get a feel for the life of Venetian residents in the off season, and there are useful shops such as a Spar, bakery and greengrocers further along via Garibaldi. Very small bathroom. Strange fading or stains of the carpet in the room. One member of breakfast staff was unfriendly. All other staff were... More
