Dorsoduro hotels

we arrived by water taxi which dropped us right outside at the private mooring. We where welcomed in by friendly and very helpful staff, who where able to direct us to some nice places to eat as we were starving . The room as promised had a wonderful view of the canal and was very comfortable, however the shower could have been more powerful (but it did the job). We made the most of the fine weather on our first day with a gondola ride which was very interesting. We then walked to St Marks Square which is about 20 mins away and round to Rialto bridge and other landmarks all of which are within easy walking distance. Our second day was spent visiting the Doges Palace and adjoining church, which we found fascinating. Word of warning, be prepared to pay a small fortune for food and drink in St Marks Sq. A must do experience though.

We had such an amazing time in Venice and the hotel was so lovely. The staff and facilities were 10/10 and we want to go back already!

The hotel was good but pretty far from S Lucia sation. If you don't mind to walk it is good choice.

This location is not in the thick of Venice which is a big plus.I had a fabulous view of the open water from my little attic room.Rooms are small but very well equipped. There are all the necessities and it is as cozy as can be. I did not have heavy luggage. If you do,or do not like stairs,another hotel is a better option. But for charm and relaxation,La Calcina cannot be beat.The view from the altana roof will leave you speechless! I didn't want to leave this charming hotel.

This hotel is in an excellent location! Central to just about everything and right next to the vaporetto stop (slow line, I think it's line 1.) It sits right on the Grand canal with a wonderful terrace overlooking the canal. Our room was a 1st floor room and you could here passer bys but nothing that bothered us. Excellent size by italy standards and very nice bathroom. Great restaurants within close proximity recommend by the kind staff. Would definitely stay here again if and when we return!

A lovely hotel. The staff were very efficient and helpful. The hotel has a lovely courtyard and garden and is in a quiet location. Easy access to all the main sites. The room was immaculate and well furnished.
