This is a superior place for a 3 star Italian hotel. The rooms are spotless and beautifully kept up, the breakfast is very good. The in house restaurant has good food, but we thought the tables very close together. It's lovely in summer when you dine outside by the water. Room was too cold but they gave us a heater... more

La Calcina has been a favorite of ours for years. The principal management are committed to service, excellence, and integrity. Truly gracious folks you'll fall in love with. The location is awesome, the accommodations wonderful, tasteful and magical. And Venice ahhhhh Venice, don't miss this chance to enjoy being in the midst of this amazing place. The complementary trip to... more

Hotels in Venice are expensive, so the traveller needs to weigh carefully the relative importance of an elevator (as an example) , the desire for a view or a large room. For us, La Calcina was a good choice in providing what we most wanted. We have previously stayed near Piazza San Marco in a smaller, more expensive, noisier room... more

We had a lovely, lovely room overlooking a major canal. Breakfast was very good and the service was excellent. The pensione even had a computer for guest use, free of charge. We took advantage of their offer of a prix fixe dinner at their restaurant, La Piscina, and found that it was truly excellent. In addition, La Calcina's staff was... more

My wife and I stayed at Pensione La Calcina for 3 nights in early October. It had been recommended by friends who had stayed twice before so we were confident of good accommodations. It didn't disappoint. The room was not large but was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent - much beyond what we expected and the front... more

La Calcina is obviously very popular with TripAdvisor members. It gets consistently good reviews and it clearly has a loyal following. Having just returned from a three night stay there, I have mostly very positive things to report, but a few lingering concerns. Back in March 08 my wife and I were planning a trip to Venice to celebrate our... more

I booked at the hotel based on the glowing reviews here. I have to say that while I agree it has many fine qualities, it is not all that. The rooms are very small, one was only 11 metres! The lack of elevator is a nuisance for luggage. The staff at the restaurant (La Piscina) at breakfast are quite wonderful... more

Saw this hotel reviewed in a magazine and contacted the Hotel immediately. We were offered an apartment close to the hotel , which was quiet , clean and spacious,with its own balcony. The hotel is situated in a quiet yet beautiful spot away from the crowds but within easy walking distance of the main attractions. Additionally , and most importantly... more

I agree with the comments already posted, this was our 5th year staying at this Hotel. The food on the restaurant on the decking has without a doubt improved over the last years, I believe that the Hotel has concentrated on this aspect. It must have one of the best outlooks for eating in Venice more
