The hotel Cà Formenta is found at one end of Via Garibaldi and is
easily reached from Marco Polo airport and Santa Lucia Railway Station.
Because we have our private wharf we suggest, for convenience, to come to the
hotel by motorboat taxi, it is slightly more expensive (around € 80.00 from the
airport and around € 45.00 from the station), but it is certainly the more
scenic and convenient way to arrive.
Alternatively ,there is public transport from the airport, the shuttle "Alilaguna"
leaves every hour from 8.00 a.m. to midnight.
The nearest stop to the hotel is "Arsenal" two bridge sto the right and
you have arrived. From the Station Santa Lucia (and from the Piazzale Roma
for those arriving by car) we advise taking the line ACTV n° 51 or n° 61.
Get off at the Garden, pass the first bridge on the left, continue along
"Riva dei Sette Martiri" up to the hotel. |

Another way is to take the line ACTV n° 1 and follow the Grand Canal,
a very beautiful, romantic journey of about 45 minutes to the wharf "Arsenal"
just after St. Mark's Square, two bridges to the right and one is at the
hotel!
VIA GARIBALDI
Again, from Tassini's "Curiosità Venetian": "After the arrival in 1866 of
Italian troops in Venice, there was a move to rename this street after General
Giuseppe Garibaldi. It used to run to the public gardens built in 1807, was was
laid over the stream that ran among two fonundation walls. It was called Via
Eugenia in honor of the Italian viceroy Eugenio Beauharnais.
Via Garibaldi can claim to be the heart venetian life, unlike the area
around St. Mark's Square it has not yet been invaded by mass tourists. The many
coffee houses and famous restaurants of the area are crowded mainly with
venetians who come here to escape the hustle and bustle of the plaza, after all
it is only ten minutes away.
Nearby one can see the "Padiglioni" of the International Biennal Exhibition
of Modern Art, a must for art lovers.
In conclusion, here is a corner of Venice, well known to the Venetinas, still to
be discovered by many tourists but ensuring your visitors won't leave
disappointed. |
