I had book this hotel after reading some reviews (I stayed with my boyfriend), but I must say I was somewhat disappointed due to the following: first, we did not have a bathroom in our room, so everytime we had to cross the breakfast room to take a shower, which was quite awkward with other people having breakfast there. Second,... more

At the Ca Formosa website a 2 BR apt is advertised with photos. After booking it we arrived and were taken up 4 flights of stairs to 2 regular rooms with 1 bath and then a substandard apt 2 blocks away. The manager said we had no choice as we had already paid. We left and went to another Rick... more

The Ca Formosa exceeded all preconcieved thoughts. The hotel incorporates original features, venetian art, glass and hospitality. Room 303 has a large four poster bed and a shower room. It was extremely clean, the staff were very helpful and it was a short walk from both the Rialto and St. Mark's, very central though quiet location. I thoroughly enjoyed my... more

We loved our stay at this beautiful hotel! Breakfast was great. The room was nicely furnished. As with most of Venice, it is hard to find, but worth the effort. Our party had a triple and double room, both of which were beautifully decorated Venetian, glass sconces, terrazzo flooring, et al. The Doge would have been happy here. We found... more

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
