Hotel Ca' Formenta owes much of its charm to its personnel--Alessio and Ricardo, two personable young men, make one feel quite welcome and looked after. The breakfasts were delicious and ample, the room clean and comfortable, and the location conducive to escaping the hordes of tourists. A great choice!

My husband and I visited Venezia for the first time and stayed at this rather cosy(not very big) but excellent hotel for five nights. Begining with the warm welcome at the hotel's private warf, we were totally satisfied with the hospitality the hotel staffs gave us, they were polite and always got ready to help us with the information we need. Because of the season there were few guests and we could choose the room we liked. The room we chose was in the annex building and with a bath-tub. In winter time this was our priority for Japanese. So we could enjoy warm and happy bath-time every night. Our room faced the Laguna and we enjoyed the sunset on the day of arrival. The returning way to the hotel from the center after the day's strolling around the city seemed a bit long though only 10-15minutes walk from P.S.Marco. Last two days we used vapporet L1 to Arsenale and this made us felt much better we could have rest on the vapporet. We would surely return to this hotel when we have another visit to VENEZIA.

An excellent hotel in an excellent position. It was our first visit to Venice and if we return, we will again choose this hotel. It is near to a Vaporetto station and a short walk to St. Mark's Square. Good views of the lagoon and island opposite hotel. Several good and not too expensive restaurants in street next to hotel (via Garibaldi). Reception staff speak English as do many Venetian traders. For a bird's eye view of Venice go up the campanile on the island of Giorgio Maggiore - opposite hotel. It has a lift, is cheap and no queues. The campanile in St. Marks Square is more expensive and has long queues. Venice is simply quite wonderful. For a complete journey down the grand canal, choose Vaporetto No. 1 from Piazzale Le Roma to Arsenale (the stop for our hotel).

A lovely hotel - we couldn't fault it. The staff were all charming and helpful. Room 203 had a balcony with a view over the Lagoon, and the ambience of the Via Garibaldi with shops, restaurants and everyday life was colourful and all in all a wonderful place to be. We hope we can stay here again.
