Wonderful location, fantastic hotel, very professional staff, many delicious breakfast options, gorgeous canal-side terrace-restaurant with excellent food. The staff really makes guests feel welcome and fusses over them in a good way. I’m a rather critical customer but LA CALCINA ticked every box with an exclamation mark. I only hope that my enthusiastic review will not make the hotel impossible to book. Oh, and have I mentioned the pricing is very good and fair, also. Can’t wait to stay at La Calcina again.

All excellent.

Great elegant hotel with a real Venetian feel. Located on a canal very close to several vaporetto (boat) stops. I had a best room with a view on the canal on a 3rd floor (room 31) and the view was marvellous. The room was clean, the bed very comfortable, bathroom spacious. The wifi was good, and free complimentary water has been provided every day in a room. Breakfast has been delicious and you can also have dinner, as well as sit outside on the canal to have some evening drinks. The hotel has no lift, so you will have to drag your luggage up the stairs if you're staying on higher floors, but the view I had from my room was absolutely more than worth of any discomfort (the hotel has this unique old Venetian hotel style feel anyway). Highly recommend this hotel and I will be definitely coming back!

Lovely quiet location situated away from the crowded tourist areas around St Marks etc. but still close enough to reach on foot. Gave me the opportunity to see some parts of Venice that otherwise I may not have seen. Beautiful setting on the water. Arrived well before check in time but my room was unexpectedly ready. Had a delicious dinner in the restaurant.

My room was spotlessly clean with a great view & everything I needed but the decor (wallpaper) was a bit jaded.

Canal view room very good, other rooms very small. Location excellent, close to vaporetto stops for all destinations. Easy walk to Accademia bridge and San Marco and lovely view over the Guidecca Canal. We really liked the restauranrt which had excellent food and lovely views

Coffee making facitities were not available in the room. Our initial room was very small so we upgraded to a larger one. The alterna was rather shabby and there were large gaps between the floor boards. The choice of food at breakfast was rather limited we would have liked some cheeses or smoked salmon.

The breakfast was excellent with choices of continual and/or bacon and scrambled eggs. The bread was freshly baked and Italian almond cake too. All varieties of tea and coffee styles available. The fresh fruit was plentiful.

The plumbing, although plenty of hot water, was a bit difficult to regulate, the shower was a bit feeble. Nothing serious. No elevator could make it tricky for some, but this is the trade off as it is a beautiful old building.,

The location is excellent. The view across the Guidecca canal is lovely plus very close to the Zattere stop for water transport. Eating breakfast outside in the sunshine (in November! )can’t be beaten. The staff are absolutely charming and extremely helpful. We have stayed here many times over the years and will be back.

No lift but they are about to install one.

Service orientation of staff is truly exceptional, breakfast is amazing and location is exceptional. I was so glad i booked this property instead of being in the over touristy san marco square areas

None

Everything about the property was first class! The cleanliness was top drawer and their attention to detail was exceptional. It is a beautiful property with a staff that is well trained and always available to help. Outstanding!

Nothing!

We enjoyed so much our stay in La Calcina. The stuff are so gentle and helpful, the room is very big and well equipped, the lobby and dinning room are beautifully designed. The breakfast was delicious. We liked very much the location, 2 minutes from the Vaporetto station, in very nice and calm area with small coffee and bakery's. 10-15 minutes walk from S.Marco and 20-25 minutes max from the other sites we visited. Thak you for beautiful experience in Venice, we definitely will recommend and hopefully come back to your place.

Nothing that we didn't liked. That was perfect for us.

Room size was fine - we had booked comfort room so knew it wasn't the largest but comfortable, clean and very quiet. Breakfast (and dinner) was very good indeed and the staff were fantastic - from the reception staff through to the bar and restaurants staff and cleaners everyone was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Location was great - few minutes walk into the very busy touristy area but plenty of nice bars and restaurants within minutes to avoid the rush.

One minor frustration that our bathroom door would not stay closed.
