Hotel La Calcina

I want to thank for highly professional work the hotel staff. In particular Martina at reception did her best to meet all my requests. Starting from wi fi setting to thorough selection of jazz clubs and registration with Wizz air. Special needs were always addressed, with beautiful smile on her face. Very grateful to Samuel at reception. He was So helpful - the way Samuel presented details on map on how to reach Murano and Burano are standards for any tourist)
Exceptional staff - thanking also other reception staff, cooks, stylish waiters, cleaning personal, security guides - you do fabulous team work and I have now second home in Venice.

After many visits for lunch at La Calcina over the years, we decided that during our 2 night stop-over in Venzia, we would stop there for those 2 nights. Thus we were able to enjoy the service, the food, the decor and the ambience of this delightful hotel for 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts. It was up to all expectations! Our room with its majestic views over the Giudecca Canal was just a delight. We cannot recommend this wonderful hotel and its dining experience highly enough.

A wonderful hotel that fronts the Giudecca Canal. I’ve been a guest three times and the staff and hotel have never disappointed me. The rooms are charmingly appointed, super clean and spacious by European standards.

And the restaurant, be it for the complimentary buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner has excellent offerings. We happily dined there both of our nights at the hotel this visit.

The area is walking distance of all of Venice’s sites yet removed from the overcrowding of St. Mark’s Square, Rialto Bridge, etc.

It is a very short walk to the 5.2 vaporetto that takes you either to the bus to the airport or the Santa Lucia railroad station in only about 15-20 minutes and is only a 5 minute walk to the all important #1 vaporetto line near the Accademia Bridge.

Every staff member, from the front desk, the bellhop, the cleaning staff to the waitstaff was professional, friendly and helpful.

When you chose your room, realize there is no elevator, so if you have any mobility issues, reserve a room on the first (second American) floor.

We will definitely stay there when our travels return us to La Serenissima.

Convenient but quiet location on the Zattere with good sized rooms for Venice (I didn't feel the need for a canal view) and immaculately clean. Decent restaurant and friendly and efficient staff. Great value and would stay again.

La Calcina... what makes this hotel wonderful is its people!! The employees are all lovely, welcoming, fun and concerned that you have the best time!! They were thrilled to speak with me in Italian, which was such a pleasure! I heard them speaking multiple languages with their wordly guests. It is an absolutely gorgeous hotel with plush old-world decor that feels luxurious! The inside dining area feels like living in a mansion. The waterfront setting with the incomparable blue colors was a punctuation mark! It was our second time at La Calcina and we will be going back again!

A hotel that feels like home away from home. Very good food in the restaurant, a wide range of wines and great cocktails. Very helpful personel and

La Calcina hotel was perfect for our needs. Quiet, boutiquey hotel away from the bustling area of San Marco, but very conveniently located! Easy walking to all the sights and restaurants. Waterbus station right there. Food was very good. We will definitely stay here again!

What an absolute gem!! I travelled solo to Venice and stayed for four nights. The hotel is ideally located on the water right by a Vaporetto stop as well as an Alilaguna stop which goes to the airport so it was super easy to get there. The hotel was clean and charming. The staff was so incredibly kind and friendly. I felt like I was so well cared for being there alone. Breakfast was great and varied, and at night it was so peaceful after a busy day of sight seeing to sit outside in front of the hotel with a glass of wine looking at the water. The staff always welcomed me back in with a smile. I absolutely loved the Dorsoduro neighborhood. It was close enough to everything without being in the center of hordes of tourists. There were plenty of restaurants and things to do there, yet an easy walk or Vaporetto ride to any other part of Venice. I had a twin room with a bathroom. It came with a mini fridge and a small terrace, and most importantly, some excellent air conditioning. I highly recommend this hotel. If I return to Venice this is exactly where I'm staying again.

We have been going to La Calcina for years and have enjoyed each stay. The property has excellent location with fantastic views of the Guidecca canal. It is located in a relatively quiet area of Venice and yet has easy access to all the main sites. The staff is very friendly and the rooms have a lot of the old world charm.

Our stay at La Calcina was wonderful!The hotel staff was kind and accommodating, making everything easy and comfortable. The hotel is beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood with a cozy courtyard where we could relax and enjoy a spritz after a long day of sightseeing. I would highly recommend Hotel La Calcina to anyone looking for a place to stay in Venice.

We absolutely loved this little gem, just off the beaten path in Venice but still on a canal with spectacular views. A short walk brings you to the thick of things in central Venice, where hotels like this would fetch three times the price. The staff was so welcoming, we didn't want to leave!

This was my 3rd stay at La Calcina, and I honestly cant think of any better hotel for me in Venice. Everything here is just wonderful ! The location is fantastic: its on the Zattere, with view of the Guidecca canal and Guidecca. In the best Sestiere of Venice (for me), Dorsoduro. There are plenty of restaurants in walking distance. A fantastic gelateria next door (Nico). Two lovely osterias as well just around the corner. The Zattere and Accademia vaporetto stops are just 1-2 minutes away. Its central, but not touristy, and its great.

Having breakfast (a small but good buffet) outside on the Zattere is fantastic. The restaurant is very good. There is a nice lounge with antique furniture and a small courtyard. The place is soaked in history and lovely details. Staff is extremely friendly and multilingual.

This time, I had a small but comfortable single room, with everything that I need, and a tiny balcony with a view over the small canal next to the hotel.

Great location, great breakfast, bar and restaurant. Would go back for sure. Staff is beyond friendly and helpful.

Staff amazing, hotel beautiful with an incredible view

Lovely property on the quiet side of town. Easily accessible. Excellent service from an attentive staff. Restaurant is quite good. Only comment is get better

My wife and I spent three nights at the hotel in mid June. Not your Hilton, Hyatt or Marriott but a GREAT European/Venetian style hotel with all the feeling of old Europe. The staff were the friendliest I have ever encountered at any hotel. They went over and above to help us navigate Venice and make our stay most pleasant. The lobby and the garden were exceptional for its it old world charm and warmth. The rooms were a bit old fashion and a bit small for our liking but clean and comfortable with updated bathroom. There was no elevator which requires climbing stairs so be aware if your room is not on the ground floor. The location is superb situated on a large canal and board walk surrounded by very nice restaurants. We found the food at the hotel restaurant to be very good and not too expensive. A very nice breakfast with a hot breakfast choice is included with your stay. Thank you Lorella, Martine, Samuel and Johann for making our stay a memorable one. We hope to visit you again one day. Ciao

I booked this hotel for my mom for 9th June, 2025 via Expedia. I even got a message in Expedia by the reception staff telling how to reach the destination. When my mom went to the hotel for check in, the night staff there said they don't have the reservation. My mom called me (overseas) and my brother and we tried to talk with the staff. His name is Anthony, and he clearly said that there is no reservation. I sent the email and message of confirmation to hotel's email. He then said that it is a fake Expedia. I was shocked, as I have used the same link to book hotels in Santorini and Rome and they both were confirmed. The staff then insisted us to pay for the night. I asked him to call the manager may be and ask him about this as there might be a confusion. He said his manager does not work until next day evening. He said to pay now and then talk to the manager tomorrow. I told him that we just booked for the night and my mom is leaving to Rome tomorrow. He just kept on saying that we have to pay. Later, I don't know what happen, he said he will check another computer and was talking to his manager. He then at last came to my mom and said that he finally found the booking. This was terrible. I was on the phone with this staff for hours and he at last did not even apologise. I don't know whose fault was this, hotel or Expedia but I think there is a way to handle this situation and I can clearly say that he was not handling it well professionally.

Great location away from the busy streets but close enough to walk to everything or vaporetto just outside hotel. Accommodation comfortable and decor very opulent. Beds comfortable, towels etc good standard only thing lacking was coffee/tea making facilities but that is a personal preference of ours. Staff are fantastic, they cant do enough for you. The restaurant is great, food very good and lovely atmosphere. Have stayed here before and will definitely stay again.

This place is a little slice of heaven. The view from our room (plus the lobby and the outdoor restaurant) is spectacular. It’s old-school elegant, with staff who are as lovely as the accommodations. Conveniently, it’s also quite near a vapporetto stop. At check-in, we were greeted with Bellinis while staff whisked our luggage away to our room, so the fact that the hotel doesn’t have an elevator is no problem.
