Casa Santa Maria Formosa

Furnished in traditional 18th-century Venetian style, this diminutive property has a certain quaint charm even if it is a little cramped.

It operates very much in conjunction with sister property Locanda la Corte 300 yds away, where guests can take breakfast, including the courtyard in summer, and where the out-of-hours reception is located.

Room facilities are good for a property this size and the quiet canal side location is just yards from the main tourist hustle and bustle.
