Hotel Ca' Formosa, Venice

This charming fifteenth-century Venetian 'palazzetto' close to Piazza San Marco and the Rialto, once home to a wealthy family, was carefully restored in 2002. It is now a wonderful gem of an hotel in Venice, offering exceptional standards of service and a warm, friendly welcome. Here, guests can enjoy a taste of Venice's history in a quiet, atmospheric setting deep in the heart of this magical city. There is a gondola stage right by the hotel, so guests can arrive by water and fully experience the essence of Venetian life.

There are just 11 airy, light-filled rooms at this Italian hotel, many of which are on the top floor with superb views over the canal and the adjoining Campo. Every room has its own en-suite bathroom with shower, bath and hairdryer; there is also satellite TV, direct-dial phone and internet modem link. Guests are welcome to use the well-stocked minibar, which contains a range of drinks and snacks, and a simple Continental-style breakfast is served in the morning. Children are welcome and cots are available, but guests are advised that the hotel does not have a lift and many rooms are up several flights of stairs.
