Hotel La Calcina

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 Pillows.

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.

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.

Wonderful small boutique hotel. Excellent service, helpful staff and great breakfast in beautiful garden by Gian Luca who makes everything special. Location is central to everything but quiet. Highly recommend!

Este lugar tiene mucha magia. Su staff es muy amable (recepcionistas y meseros -Vera-fabulosos). Felizmente regresaría. Una observación, quizá el desayuna podría ampliar su variedad.

Exelent service.

Excellent location, old school European Hotel!

Already submitted a review, but again, loved every single thing about this place and will return if and when possible.

Lovely stay!

Beautiful corner room with a view.

Staff are outstanding- professional, helpful, attentive. Breakfast is vast and fresh including something for everyone’s tastes. Decor is well maintained and the place is maintained to royal standards. Their spritzes were the best I had around Venice. AC works very well. Would. It be a hotel for small children - not bc unfriendly, but is more upscale and quiet.

My second stay at La Calcina was like my first some two years ago. It was a complete hotel experience with friendly, super-polite and considerate staff; tasteful interiors, comfortable beds. The location on Venice’s Zattere is unbeatable, free from crowds and offering beautiful vistas. The included breakfast was delicious and wholesome. A beautiful time at a beautiful place.

Staying at La Calcina was a delight from start to finish. We were greeted by Samuel, who made check-in very easy and welcomed us with a much appreciated Rossini. He continued to be very friendly and engaging throughout our stay.The whole reception team were a pleasure to deal with. The staff in the restaurant were also a real credit to the hotel. Vera , Mary and all the waiting staff were delightful and provided excellent service. We dined on the restaurant terrace three times and had excellent service each time, including a very busy service on the night of the Redentore fireworks. Our room was beautiful. It felt very Venetian. We had amazing views across the Giudecca and were able to watch the fascinating activity on the water. The hotel is in a brilliant location. The journey from the airport was straightforward and quick. You are very close to Zattere water bus stops, making getting around very easy.It has a stunning position on the waterfront and feels away from the usual tourist hustle. However, it is a short, direct walk to Accademia Bridge, so you are close to the centre. Overall , it was the perfect place to stay and we can't wait to come back.

Had a wonderful experience in this hotel. Great location, close to transport and to the main attractions. Lovely spacioius rooms and fantastic breakfast. Staff were also very helpful and friendly!

Loved this very cute hotel.

Genuinely friendly and competent staff!

Staff were great, we moved rooms and nothing was too much trouble ! Convenient setting and close to most of the areas of interest !

Very well managed up-market small hotel. Pleasant tasteful decor. Quiet atmosphere. Excellent breakfast service. Exceptional staff: they clearly enjoyed taking care of the guests. I suspect that the only reason the hotel doesn’t have 5 stars is because it doesn’t have an elevator. This is not a problem as luggage is taken to and from guest rooms by helpful staff.

A small hôtel in the heart of city

The front desk staff was so nice and helpful. Hotel super clean, good breakfast. Great neighbourhood!
