“Ca' Formenta strikes me as a Venetian find. Its location, just a short hop from San Marco yet removed from the tourist crush, is ideal, particularly with its private dock offering water taxi arrivals. I picture myself waking to lagoon views, enjoying the generous breakfast, and appreciating the hotel's blend of Venetian charm and modern comfort.”

Review summary

Powered by AI
Hotel Ca' Formenta enjoys a fantastic location near the Arsenale vaporetto stop on Via Garibaldi, making it a convenient base for exploring Venice, with Piazza San Marco and the Bienalle gardens within walking distance. Many guests appreciate the well-decorated rooms in a Venetian style, some offering wonderful views of the lagoon. Breakfast receives positive feedback for its quality and sufficient options, though some guests have noted the potential for noise due to the hotel's proximity to the main street. The Perla restaurant right next door is rated as the best eating place in the area.

easy accesswater taxi jettyno airconclimate control
The location was easy to get to from the water taxi jetty.
I encountered a PROBLEM with the air conditioning. There was no air conditioning system installed, so the room became terribly hot when the weather was warm and terribly cold when the weather was cold. This lack of climate control definitely affected my stay.

Charming stay near the Biennale

helpful staffclear directionlarge roomair conditioning
I thought the location was really great and near many restaurants. I found it easy to access Saint Mark's Square. The staff gave clear directions and were helpful with any questions I had. I enjoyed the air conditioning in my large room.
I noticed the breakfast lacked variety with only a few cold options. I wish there was more fresh fruit available.

The building had a door right to the canal. I found this feature very useful. It allowed for arrival via boat and direct access to water transport. Waterbus stops were also near the building.
