La “ Calcina”: this was the name of the old inn where John Ruskin stayed in 1876.
The hotel has nowadays been radically and accurately restored.
The books, the paintings and many others objects belonging to the “old Calcina”, create today as in the past, a warm and welcoming atmosphere rich of refinements and tiny surprises……

“La Calcina” is located on the “Zattere”, one of the most picturesque places in Venice. The vast and incomparable view of the Giudecca canal, the sun and light of this spot give shelter to many venetians who choose to take a walk even on the cold winter days.

Each of the 29 rooms are slightly different but they all have wooden parquet flooring, the furniture from the old inn, a bathroom, air-conditioning, a telephone and a safe.
