Loved by Hotel Ca' Formenta guests
"The room was absolutely beautiful with a street and canal view."
"secondly although only around 10 minutes walk from St Mark's square few tourists made it this far so it was a quiet uncrowded neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants etc."
"Located away from the crowds, we were able to enjoy great restaurants and the fantastic views of the water easily."
Rooms with Venetian Charm
Hotel Ca' Formenta offers classic rooms and junior suites with Venetian-style furnishings. All rooms include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and marble bathrooms with showers or baths. Superior rooms and junior suites overlook San Marco Basin and accommodate up to three guests. Soundproof walls ensure quiet stays.
Dining & Breakfast
A buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM in a small dining room or outdoors at one of two courtyard tables. Guests can also request in-room breakfast. Nearby, Via Garibaldi has cafes and restaurants serving local Venetian dishes.
Leisure & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and the Biennale Gardens. Top landmarks like the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Doge's Palace are a 20-minute vaporetto ride away. The Arsenale and Naval History Museum are within 300 meters.
Transport & Arrival
Water taxis stop at the hotel's private dock, costing €130 from Marco Polo Airport or €75 from Santa Lucia Station. The Alilaguna BLUE Line shuttle runs hourly from the airport. Vaporetto lines 5.1, 6, or 4.1 stop at Giardini, a short walk away.
Services & Assistance
The 24-hour front desk helps arrange tours, restaurant bookings, and transfers. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. A telephone concierge service minimizes wait times at reception. The hotel is near Via Garibaldi's bars, where locals gather for wine in the evenings.
“The location is certainly appealing, placing you near both St. Mark's Square and the Biennale Gardens, with the added convenience of a private dock for water taxi arrivals. I imagine couples, in particular, would appreciate the romantic potential of the canal-side ambiance, though some rooms may experience noise from water traffic. For those seeking a classically Venetian experience, this could be a worthwhile choice, especially if you value proximity to key attractions.”

Excellent stay near Arsenale
convenient locationwell-furnished roomgreat considerationawkward toilet
The hotel's location proved convenient. The arsenale vaporetto stop was close by. Many restaurants lined via garibaldi. The gardens were accessible. I found the room well-furnished with all necessities for travel. The staff showed great consideration regarding my needs. I was also informed about canal access for boats.
The air conditioning seemed switched off causing the room to be warm. The provided pillow was very thin. The toilet was positioned at an awkward angle making it difficult to use. The shower was small , made moving around difficult. The shower riser also was broken.

i found the location calm, about 15 minutes walking to san marco. the hotel offers luggage storage, useful for the last day. arsenale vaporetto stop is very close. the staff were really amazing and helpful, i appreciated that.
The shower was small and it was hard to move around inside. The shower riser was broken. the tray filled up quickly. sitting on the toilet was also near impossible. It was at a strange angle right next to the wall.
