Locanda Ca' Formosa Venice

Ca' Formosa is located on the noble floor of a former 1450 Venetian house with characteristic high-ceilinged rooms and imponent balconies. Completely renovated in 2002, the Locanda is placed in the most quite and discreet "sestiere" of Venice, near the main points of interest and shopping: it will only take you a bridge to get to Campo Santa Maria Formosa and short walk to San Marco Square.

In a home-like atmosphere, you will find a qualified sevice to provide you an unforgettable stay through art itineraries, cultural events, historical attractions and comfort. Combining elegance and charme, Locanda Ca' Formosa is the ideal place for an enjoyble stay in the heart of Venice.

To make it an unforgettable experience, our qualified reception staff will be pleased to provide all necessary information about the city guaranteeing our guests a friendly hospitality: we can organize romantic "gondola" trips, special tours through the narrow Venetian "calli" or to the isle of Murano-by private water taxi- where you can discover the characteristical glassworks. Besides,we will suggest some typical restaurant here you can taste our delicious italian food.

Each room is inspired to a famous Venetian "doge" -Bembo, Pisani, Orseolo, Gritti...- and is elegantly decorated in an exquisite romantic style, as the rooms are furnished with fine canopies, tapestries, mirrors and linens made by the prestigious and ancient manufacturers of the city.

They all have private bathrooms with shower or tub and they are supplied with ultra-modern comforts and facilities: tv, minibar, direct dial telephone, individual air conditioning, safety box and internet access.

For a romantic week.end escape in Venice, Ca' Formosa propose its "Roof Suites" Casanova and Tiepolo: their top floor accomodation offers a sweeping view of Venice's roofs and terraces. Our rooms Dandolo and Orseolo, instead, have a nice view on the canal: just glance below and you'll find a "gondola" gliding slowly under your window.
