A reliable old fashioned gem

Always just right. Very friendly, off the beaten track and therefore quiet, comfortable. Old fashioned charm, reminds me of 65 years ago. Tiny rooms (this is Venice after all) but well designed bathrooms nonetheless. VG breakfast. Good value. Been here 5 times and counting. Not grande luxe - and so much the better for that.

All Around Great

La Calcina is a wonderful hotel, with exceptional staff, spectacular views from those rooms looking out over the Zattere, and the perfect location. I stayed there for a week in late January/early February and, while my room could have used some fresh paint, I could not have been happier with my stay. The housekeeping staff kept my room immaculately clean, the bed was comfortable, and the front desk staff was patient and friendly, ready to help with whatever I needed. On top of all that, the food and service in the dining room and on the terrace were both fine. There is also a cozy bar/lounge for coffee, a spritz, or just settling in with a good book on a rainy day. Would be a great place for couples and at the same time, I was quite comfortable there on my own.

Great experience

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.

THE place stop and dine 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 serene hotel for your stay in La Serenissima

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.

Comfortable and friendly

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.

Luxurious, Welcoming and Wonderful Hosts!

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!

Home away from home.

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!

Absolutely wonderful stay

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.
