Nice hotel although there are slight problems. Yes, the hotel is extremely difficult to get to. It took us an hour to find it. The directions on the hotel's website could be better. Clearer directions are at the end of this review. Upon arrival, the front desk person was not very friendly. She rushed us through orientation and left before... more

I stayed in the Casanova room at the Ca' Formosa for 6 nights. I had a pretty wonderful stay there. The area was quiet and I never felt unsafe. It was easy to get a good night's sleep. I received friendly service and the air conditioning worked very well. The last round of steps, leading to the Casanova room and... more

We were referred to the Ca Formosa by another hotel that was recommended by Rick Steves. Sylvia, the hotel manager, who speaks English was wonderful in helping us with our reservations and giving us directions to the hotel. Our room was located at on the top floor (4th) of the establishment which did involve climbing quite a few stairs. However... more

An easy Hotel to find, once you read the map. We came in by train, and flew out. Where else can you walk from the train to the hotel, then from the hotel to the airport, easily? The hotel is at the end of small alley, and close to about everything. Our room was at the top on the 4th... more

We stayed at Locanda Ca' Formosa for three nights and had a very nice time. All rooms are located on the third floor, and there is no elevator, but the gentleman at the desk was most accommodating and volunteered to take our luggage to the room. The room itself was clean and quite nice, but it was located right off... more

Ca Formosa is a very nice and friendly hotel, located in a small alley where it wasn´t that much sound during the night. OK, it was really difficult to find, but Venice is not a easy city to find your way at all, even though you have a map. It is much better to follow the directions from the signs,... more

We just returned from a 2 week trip to Europe that included 2 nights at Ca Formosa. We had no problems finding it - even though we got off the Veporatti (sp?) at Pointe Rialto instead of the stop in the directions. Moreover, even though we arrived at 8 am they allowed us into our room right away and even... more

We arrived to find what seemd to be a cute little hotel. But were shocked to find our ceiling covered in plastic - it smelled of plastic and something strong, not sure what. Others seemed to be fine - bugt our situation was untenable. Plus the room had virtually no lights, no reading lights and a tiny bathroom. The location... more

good sized room and the staff are very nice. breakfast is average. location is great - close to everything. if you are going to buy a pizza slice get it from the little shop near the rialto bridge. there is no lift so carrying heavy bags up many staris is not enjoyable. apart from that its great. free net too. more
