Hotel Ca' Formenta - A waterfront 3-star hotel with private dock and lagoon views in historic Castello
Located between the Arsenal and Biennale Gardens in Castello district, this Venice hotel features a private jetty for water taxi arrivals. The rooms at Ca' Formenta showcase Venetian-style furnishings with marble bathrooms, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Superior rooms and Junior Suites accommodate up to three guests and offer views over San Marco Basin. A complimentary breakfast buffet is served from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM in a small dining room or at two outdoor tables overlooking the waterfront. The property provides 24-hour reception and free Wi-Fi throughout. Hotel Ca' Formenta sits at the start of Via Garibaldi, surrounded by local cafes, restaurants, and nightlife spots. Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basilica, and the Doge's Palace are within a 10-minute walk, while top museums like the Peggy Guggenheim Collection are accessible via a 20-minute vaporetto ride.
Pros
Private dock allows direct water taxi access from airport and train station
Located in an authentic neighborhood favored by locals rather than tourists
Waterfront location offers views across San Marco Basin
Walking distance to Biennale Gardens and Arsenal
Cons
Reaching museums on the other side of Venice requires a 20-minute vaporetto journey
Two bridges must be crossed when arriving from public water transport stops
“The location strikes a rare balance: close to St. Mark's, yet somehow offering a quiet escape with lagoon views. I particularly appreciate the private dock, a civilized alternative to navigating crowded streets. It's Venetian charm, distilled.”
