This is a great little hotel in a wonderful location that is close to all the best sights. Right in the heart of the city but it was also very quiet at night. Our room and bathroom were spacious (by European standards) and the staff was helpful and friendly. Definitely good value in the heart of Venice and we would... more

We got the corner room with open canal views from both windows. Fabulous, you really felt you were a part of Venice. Close to both St. Marks & Rialto but quiet at night. The room was very quaint and, with the view, like being in a movie. We didn't eat the breakfast but it looked OK. Overall, a very good... more

This was our first stay in Venice after a cruise, and we wanted to stay at something special before returning. We booked the hotel on the recommendation of an acquaintance who travels frequently and had stayed there. Like every place in Venice, it can be challenging to locate, but once you get a good map (not the free one's that... more

The receptiion... more

I am not sure of the name of the room but it overlooked two canals. The room was decorated beautifully and the bathroom was large. There was a small refrigerator in the... more

My husaband and I made our first visit to Italy and Venice this past June. After lots of research and emailing we reserved 3 nights at Casa Santa Maria Formosa. We fell in love with the city and this wonderful little hotel! The rooms are VERY Venetian, large, clean and comfortable, and ours came with a canal view. We can't... more

We have just returned from a short trip to Venice - 4 exciting and exhausting days. After hours of tracking every possible sight of this beautiful city, we were very happy to return to our comfortable and well air-conditioned room. We enjoyed the lovely king-size bed, and although there was a small problem with the mattress on the extra bed,... more
