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

I've never felt compelled to write a review before but this hotel has made me feel that way. On arrival we were met with a warm welcome and shown to our room. Although, we had an "economy" room which was the cheapest option it was wonderful! The bath room was very spacious, bath with a shower & window. Marble floors... More

Stayed at the Ca' Formenta for 3 nights in December. Very impressed for a three star. Staff were pleasent, well informed, and helpfull. The hotel is in a really nice location on the waterside, and at the head of a pleasant street (calle) with shops, bars, and restaurants. It is a 5 to 10 minute walk from St Marks Square,... More

While the rooms are a bit small, especially the showers, the spread of breakfast was a great way to start a day of exploring Venice. The service was excellent for in house questions and for tips on shopping, eating, and drinking in the neighborhood. When we returned from a day of walking, we were offered drinks and refreshment. Every time... More

We stayed in the “penthouse” (basically the entire top floor) It was a large room with a private entrance to a huge, rooftop patio area (amazing!). The hotel is a hike to St Marks, etc. but we are walkers so no trouble (Venice IS a walking city). It is in a “locals” area and everyone was great. The park/boulevard right... More

This inconspicuous little hotel is very well located just steps away from the too-busy parts of Venice. Its 2-storey facade in the midst of mainly 3 and 4-storey buildings makes it look a tad understated, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there once the initial lack of street appeal was forgotten. Interior presentation was much better, the wallpaper in our... More

We arrived at this hotel last Monday for a week stay – what a let down having read the reviews. The beds were extremely hard as were the pillars, they where standard; wallpaper hanging off the walls, and Showers did not work without flooding the bathroom. The breakfast staff had a novel way of cleaning the table cloths at breakfast.... More

Overall, agree with all the positive reviews, good location, OK breakfast, room with view, charming front of house. would recommend to anyone who wanted to be part of the local life, away from the hordes in the centre, but be a 20 min walk to St Marks. Would recomend Ristorante Giorgione,just down Via Garibaldi, and book or get there by... More

The location of Hotel Ca' Formenta at the corner of Via Garibaldi offers the perfect blend of local neighborhood, great restaurants, convenience to Biennalle (Arsenale and Giardini), vaporetti stops, and just far enough away from the crowds. In addition to the incredible views of the grand canal and Piazza San Marco, the rooms are spacious, very clean, and comfortable. I... More
