Lots of interesting spots to discover.
Ca’ Formenta is situated right in front of the Laguna, with some rooms even looking out over it, while it also puts you very close to Piazza San Marco, Arsenale, water taxi stops or your own private wharf, and offers plenty of possibility for exploring ti

Breakfast goes down a treat.
Guests were pretty happy with the breakfast buffet, which has fresh fruit, a wide spread, good quantities and was tasty to boot.
positive:
Old time quality.
With marble bathrooms,clean sheets and towels every day, a good level of comfort and the chance for some peace and quiet, the rooms were judged to be of good Venetian value.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi connection poor in rooms.
Some guests have been unhappy at constantly having to log in to the Wi-Fi in their rooms, but this can be explained by the fact the connection is only meant to serve common areas.
negative:
Tight squeeze shower.
If you require a bit more room in the bathroom, then the slightly small showers at Ca’ Formenta may be an issue for you.
negative:
Simple and beds a little hard.
The beds may seem a little uncomfortable to the picky and the rooms are simple, but the vast majority were very happy with their choice to stay.
