Ca Formosa - Venice

The B&B was a bit tricky to find (even some locals weren't really sure) but other hotels nearby helped us find it. The staff was welcoming and helpful (even carried our bags upstairs for us). The room was spacious, clean, with a charming 19th century decor. The breakfast was fabulous and freshly baked. Overall, a great experience for a couple experiencing […] Venice for the first time.

What a great little place. Location is PERFECT!! Venice is small and you walk all over (getting lost in the maze is fun!) but this little place is located in the best part of Venice, close to the Piazza San Marco and everything else.

Very hard to find and when found there was a sign on the door to go to another door but not specified how to find that either. At long last, being let in, out room was on the 4th floor, no elevator. Very hard work, little attention paid by any staff which was mostly non-existant. Beds were not as requested.

This hotel was incredibly hard to find. When we arrived, we had to go to the main hotel to check in. After that, we were lead to another one of their hotels that we had not booked. The bathroom was tiny and had flies -- not very clean. The room itself appeared clean, but the mattress and pillows were hard as a rock. Overall, it was not what we saw in […] the pictures. I would not recommend this hotel to people. For the money, stay somewhere else. Read more

We arrived late in the day and found the hotel with just a bit of trouble. Unlike the other posts, the hotel was clearly marked. We did need to go to the sister hotel, about 50 meters away to pick up the keys. There was no elevator, 74 steps up to our room. As we did not go in and out many times a day, this was not a problem nor an inconvenience. I […] believe most hotels in this area do not have elevators. The hotel was located right off the Campo Santa Maria Formosa, and was an excellent location to get around. The breakfast was simple but adequate, croissants, rolls, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and a tort or two along with several cereal choices. My only complaint would be that the advertised free wifi was actually located at the sister hotel. So if you need to be connected, you will have to walk the 50m to get the free wifi. We chose to be off the web for the 3 nights, and just enjoyed Venice. All in all, a very old, quaint hotel which I would recommend. Read more

Had to pay 6euro for 1 hour of internet per device. Then the internet only worked for about 15 min. Easy walking distance to train station. Watch your step, dog poop every where on streets and sidewalks.

First of all, I challenge anyone to stay at Ca Formosa and get the view shown in their photo. They are not located within the square and no windows look out onto it. It was about a 10 minute walk from the waterbus to the hotel (if you are going to Venice, plan on carrying your luggage through the streets and up and down stairs). The hotel was not well […] marked and located on an alley off of a side street. We called the hotel for directions and the man (who spoke English) was helpful. We arrived around 1:30 pm and was told our room was not ready and we could wait or go walk around (as they had no luggage storage we opted to wait). Our room was spacious (4 of us were staying in one room). The shared bathroom was quite far from our actual room so I was worried about my small children needing to use the restroom during the night but it was fine. It was slightly awkward walking through the breakfast area with my shower supplies. The staff basically hid the towels. We thought we had none so we helped ourselves in the hallway. When I said something, the girl came in and showed us towels in the cabinet in the room (which was actually blocked by one of the beds and no one showed them to us) We were greeted in the morning to the sound of Italian chit chat and dishes clattered... yep, the kitchen was right off of our room and the staff didn't seem concerned that maybe the guests didn't want to hear them talking at 7:30 in the morning (or dropping metal dishes). When my husband voiced these concerns to the manager (in another building since we couldn't check out in the hotel) there was no apology or explanation. I would not recommend this hotel. Read more

This was a beautiful hotel close to St. Marks Square. It was a little difficult to find at first as it is down one of the little streets, but once you find it and mark where it is, it is in a great location, and close to a lovely square, and eating places. Very quiet, yet a few steps outside the hotel there are gelato shops, glass shops and lots of […] places to eat. One small downside, when you enter the hotel, there are a lot of quite steep steps up a winding staircase to the rooms, around 50 stairs. This is understandable as in Venice most of the buildings are very tall and high, so rooms tend to be on the upper floors. Beautiful rooms, with glass chandeliers. Very comfortable. The breakfast room is very elegant with huge glass chandeliers, old world furniture, linens and silverware. There is a small balcony off the breakfast room.Great breakfast. This is a true historic Venice hotel, yet with modern amenities. If you want a taste of the Venice of old, elegant and charming, then we would highly recomend this hotel. We loved it and would stay here again. Read more

Venice is very tough to find your way around but when you return to your room at Ca Formosa, you're comfortable and peaceful. Great atmosfere. Very nice staff. Lovely room. Would stay there again. Thanks

Beautiful classic style, a bit far away from the vaporetto to move around, but right in the middle of Venice. Ordered a room with canal view and got one without, but with private bathroom instead. Breakfast is nice with a few italian pastries.

This was the hotel we were most disappointed in of all our stays. It was not modern at all. We had to share a bathroom. It was on the 4th floor and we had to lug our suitcases up tiny staircase. No elevators/ lifts. When we arrived, we had to go to another hotel to get checked in and keys. Keys were old style....didn't feel that secure. Over-priced […] for what we got. Read more

This hotel was not bad...but it was not all that great either. The accomodations were satisfactory and the breakfast was good. Our problem was the concept of a "shared bathroom." The bathroom was across the breakfast/community room from our bedroom. Not good. Also, Venice is a noisey town because of all of the stone and water. Without mechanical ventilation […] in the room, one had the choice of closing up and being fairly quiet, or opening the windows and listening to the townspeople. Also, it is a long climb to the rooms (about 5 flights of stairs. Whereas a gent will help with the luggage going up, you are on your own going down. Judt beware of this. Read more

I can not put a complain to anything...Trendy and special in an old stile. Comfotable and beautiful room with a lovely bathroom, and the service was splendid... The manager even picked us up on a busstation in "the middle of nowhere", after we had gone on a wrong bus from Venize. (Rigth bus is nr 5..)

Genuine Expedia guest review

We got stuck in the attic. Our room was on the very top floor and part of the roof sloped down so you had to duck under beams to get around the bed. So quite literally in an attic. The other rooms may well have been reasonable, but our luck was fresh out so our room sucked. We also had to share a bathroom, which wasn't too much of an inconvenience, […] aside from the fact that the people that shared it with us (who we never saw) were slobs and left their empty packets of shower gel strewn about the shower, as well as leaving the bathroom in a generally unpleasant state. The hotel itself was old and a little rough around the edges, but it is Venice, so most places would be quite similar and it wasn't too bad in the end. Hotel staff were pleasant. The place is in a good location, and our particular part of this multi-building hotel overlooked a large square complete with church. Overall it's a place which may give you a story to tell. We'd most likely check out a different hotel next time, but in the end it wasn't a disaster. P.S I'd like to give a big shout out the guest who every morning sat at the breakfast table, surrounded by his family and proceeded to read women's gossip magazines with furious intensity. Read more

Ca Formosa is a friendly and well maintained hotel but several of the room DO NOT have ensuite bathrooms and this is not made clear when booking. I booked a room, specifically with ensuite facilities, but when I arrived was given a room without ensuite. Furthermore the shared bathroom was down the hall and through the breakfast room and there was only […] 1 shared bathroom between multiple rooms and guests - not great. The location is fine but very tricky to find - like most places in Venice. Breakfast was plentiful and staff are very friendly. Read more

I'm pleased with the service and cleanliness of the hotel. Even though the toilet is shared, it is well maintained. Its location is just about 5-10mins walk from the city area. For those who loves shopping at branded stores, this is the place to stay in. Internet is free but there is only one computer so you need to be quick. The only thing I don't […] like is that you have to carry your luggage all the way to e 3rd storey before you can see your room and the walkway is quite narrow. Read more

Check in was a little inconvenient since we had to go to their nearby sister hotel to arrange check-in. Located near a lovely piazza, being a little out of the way added to the charm. Our room overlooked a narrow canal that was used by a local gondolier. Don't expect luxury accomodations, but it's clean and safe.

We stayed for one night in June and were very impressed. A number of reviews said about the stairs to climb, there are around 4 flights but as long as you're able its no problem. The lady we met at check-in also showed us to our room, did the cleaning and looked after breakfast! She was very friendly and happy to help. The room was lovely with view […] of the canal and gondola's going by, and aircon and tv/minibar, it was a shared bathroom but for one night it was no problem. Breakfast was excellent. One of the best features was the location, its 5 min walk to St Marks square, we went to tourist information in the square armed with a map and they marked the hotel on the map for us. We had a magical time in Venice and the Ca Formosa was part of it, we highly recommend and if we get to return to Venice we'll be staying there again! Read more

Bra medelhotel med gammal läcker design. Vissa rum tycker jag dock inte man kan klassa som rum. Väldigt små, lågt i tak (snedtak) och mer som en vind. Dock fräscht och helt ok att bara sova i. Bra frukost och mycket bra läge, relativt nära Markusplatsen.

Pris og kvalitet hænger jo somregel sammen, hvilket også efter vores vurdering gør sig gælende her. Bad/toilet lå på gangen, og det var lidt upraktisk at skulle igennem morgenmadsstuen for at komme derud. Generelt ikke en høj standard, men ok til prisen.
