Hotel Ca' Formenta - A Waterfront Venice Hotel with Private Dock in Historic Castello District

Located in the heart of Castello district between the Arsenal and Biennale Gardens, this 3-star Venice hotel features a private jetty for water taxi arrivals. Hotel Ca' Formenta occupies a waterfront position just 10 minutes from St. Mark's Square, with the Naval History Museum 0.3 miles away. The rooms showcase Venetian mosaic floors and modern amenities including flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and marble bathrooms. Superior rooms and Junior Suites accommodate up to 3 guests and offer views over the San Marco Basin. A daily breakfast buffet is served from 7:30 to 10:00 in a small dining room with blue-clothed tables, with additional outdoor seating available. Ca' Formenta sits at the start of Via Garibaldi, surrounded by local cafes, restaurants, and a traditional fish market. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Gallerie dell'Accademia are accessible within 20 minutes by vaporetto. Eight restaurants and bars operate within 0.3 miles of the property.

Pros

Private dock allows direct water taxi access from Marco Polo Airport

Located in a predominantly local area away from mass tourism

Two outdoor tables offer views of the lagoon

24/7 staff assistance for tours, excursions, and restaurant bookings

Cons

1 mile distance to Canal Grande

Requires crossing two bridges to reach from public transport stops

“This Venetian property, a short walk from St. Mark's Square and the Biennale Gardens, strikes me as a fine base. The allure of a private dock for water taxi arrivals is undeniable. I appreciate its location, providing a less intense Venice experience while remaining convenient; however, light sleepers should request a room away from the busy canal.”
