We stayed as a couple in room 306 (2nd floor), as it was the only option available for 4 days. We had the same comfort apart from the smaller and higher window. The layout is original, the sink is in the entrance, there is a side by side shower with glass door and a separate toilet also with glass door, 1 large bed with 2 bedside tables, a wardrobe with mirror and a desk area . All clean, pleasant and comfortable. An elevator is available from the lobby. Arriving early in the morning (9 a.m.), we took advantage of the hotel's offer of a free coffee with biscuits and the drop-off of our luggage (which we found in the room when we returned after 2 p.m.). We benefited from the same service when we checked out because our flight was late (services at no additional cost). Every morning there is a varied buffet. Drinks are ordered at the table, as are eggs on demand, which are also brought to the table. Depending on the weather we choose to have our breakfast inside or outside in the garden The hotel is located in the old town of Corfu and via various streets you can quickly reach the monuments, the port or the shopping streets with its various cafes and restaurants. We were able to attend the concert on Tuesday evening, which was extended by more than half an hour due to the atmosphere (Greek music with 2 good musicians and a singer with a magnificent voice) It is a three-star hotel, but the services and friendliness of all the staff mean that for us it deserves an additional distinction. We will return to wander around Corfu, largely to stay at the Bella Venezia again, and meet these people and their little touches (like water and white wine in the fridge and little nougat on the pillow in the evening)

A lovely hotel minutes from Corfu old town. Very friendly, helpful staff throughout the hotel. The beds are very comfortable and the air-conditioning was fantastic and quiet - essential as when we travelled it was very hot The breakfast area in the garden is beautiful and there's a good selection to choose from. Only downside was that the room was very compact (small) but that was a minor issue. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and was well stocked with toiletries and towels. The room was cleaned daily and to a high standard. If you get the chance, I recommend you choose this hotel for a stay in Corfu.

A fabulous experience all round - Bella Venezia Hotel is a beautifully refurbished, characterful boutique hotel with the friendliest and most helpful staff you could ask for. We loved the high ceilings, marble floors and the outdoor dining area, which was covered by gorgeous, shade-giving climbing plants. Our room and en-suite were perfect - a large, very comfortable bed, amazing rainfall shower and air conditioning, all overlooking the lovely courtyard. The breakfast was a real highlight, with so may choices from wonderful pastries, yoghurt, fresh fruit, and honey, to eggs cooked to your own preference. The freshly squeezed orange juice and and perfect coffee, all added to the happy experience. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, and organised taxis for us, also allowing us to store our luggage there after check-out, so that we could wander around Corfu Old Town unencumbered, before onward travel. The location of the hotel was also great for us - less than ten minutes in a taxi from the airport, and a few minutes' walk into Corfu Old Town. We would definitely recommend Bella Venezia Hotel and its exceptional staff - thank you so much!

Pension’s location is pretty much ideal, easily accessible from the port and airport, inside the old town, but quiet, with all points of interest within a few minutes walk. The welcome and service are both friendly and professional. The Pension is housed in a perfectly renovated Venetian-style building. The rooms are modern and comfortable, the common areas beautiful and the garden very pleasant: this is where breakfast is served under bougainvillea pergolas. Breakfast is very good with a wide selection of very good products, including eggs, dairy products and fruit. The only downside, the tea is not on the level of the rest. Very good wifi. We recommend +++

We booked a short stay in early October and were pleased we chose to stay here. The room was clean and modern, although the bathroom was a bit on the small side. Great buffet breakfast, some welcome treats, very polite and helpful staff and a great location to explore the old town, all at a very reasonable price. Couldn't really fault anything, would recommend to others and would visit again.

Booked this hotel last minute 2 days before, very lucky to find this gem with availability. Although the hotel is 3* it is probably due to the size of the room and bathroom, they are on the smaller side but still comfortable. The only recommendation I have would be to consider swapping the shower curtain (which sticks to you) to glass doors. However, from the moment we walked in the service was 5* with a relaxing welcome drink, restaurant recommendations, the whole team were very friendly during the entire stay. We had a room on the ground floor overlooking the garden and on the Weds evening we were treated to live Greek music from the comfort of our room. What a lovely touch and relaxing entertainment. Breakfast was faultless, I have never been to a 3* hotel that offers fresh orange juice, omelette bar and table service as standard! The food offerings is adequate too. They also opened breakfast 10 mins earlier so we could catch our early tour start. The hotel is situated in a former bank and less than 10 mins from the shops and fortress. There is also free parking outside and on nearby streets. Highly recommend this hotel for an enjoyable stay.

This Boutique Hotel truly exceeded our expectations. The accommodations are exquisitely decorated, walk in shower is comfortable for 2 persons (not like the small rounded ones we’ve encounter throughout this 30 day trip of the Balkans). This hotel has an excellent location. We walked to old town center where all the action is. Hotel personnel was very helpful giving us maps,directions,sightseeing tips,and dinning recommendations as well. The breakfast is Superb with a magnificent spread of items and your eggs are made to order(not kept warm on a chafing dish). The open terrace is covered with bougainvillea branches. In deed a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 hotel.

What a stunning hotel.You are right in centre of Corfu old town.We totally enjoyed our stay here over 3 nights. We were fortunate to have attended a Greek and a Jazz night in the hotel free of charge and extremely professional shows. The hotel attention to detail of lighting colour and comfort and above all cleanliness is apparent when you arrive. Was as if we return every year and felt most welcome. Speaking to return guests we got that vibe. Beautiful well stocked bar prices were good too, breakfast in the rear garden delicious. We have stayed in lots of hotels but this by far captured our hearts. The owner must be so proud to own such a beautiful hotel .Thank you to all the wonderful staff on making our stay unforgettable. I could go on and on 🤣🤣.

Bella Venezia is the best hotel in Corfu Town, and is central to everything with the airport a short ride away. We stayed at this hotel before and liked it so very much, we booked again this year. Our two weeks stay from start to finish was wonderful. Upon arrival, we were greeted and welcomed by the lovely and friendly Konstantina who was very helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. The welcome drinks were delicious and very refreshing. It was also a pleasant surprise to find two small complementary bottles of wine a water in the room. Our room was very nice with a newly refurbished bathroom and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Our room was cleaned daily by very friendly staff and it was a lovely surprise to find a sweet treat on the pillows in the evening. All the staff were exceptional, professional, friendly and made us feel like part of the family. Breakfast was delicious and is served in the beautiful and serene garden of the hotel. It was a pleasure to chat to the wonderful staff, Georgia, Dimitri, Maria, Spiros, and Julia. Table service was provided with hot drinks and juice and the very friendly Vassiliki cooked the eggs of your choice perfectly. First time this year, the hotel organised three events for the guests; jazz night, olive oil taster (very well presented by Vassiliki and at the end you may purchase some delicious virgin olive oil if you wish. The presentation includes the history and many different varieties of virgin olive oil.), and Greek night all of which were very enjoyable. Thank you also to the friendly Erika who was on reception and who greeted us with a smile each day. A huge thank you to all the staff for making our stay a very memorable one. We have never felt so welcome in any other hotel as we have had at the Bella Venezia. We are looking forward to returning again next year. Highly recommend this hotel.

During May I visited with my wife the beautiful island of Corfu. We stayed for a week at the Bella Venezia, a small hotel with perhaps less than 40 rooms. The location is ideal for the tourist. Almost all places one wishes to visit are within a short walking distance. The hotel must have been recently refurbished as everything was in immaculate condition. The reception foyer is attractive and accommodates a bar. Our room was not the largest we have ever been to, but it was more than adequate. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room had all the basic amenities one expects in a modern hotel and free drinks on arrival. However, conspicuous by their absence were soft tissues and, in particular, information (e.g. check in/out times, breakfast times, relevant internal telephone numbers, maps of the area etc.). What we found very irritating, however, was the room design. The lavabo was situated in the room rather than in the bathroom. What this means is that when one of you gets up in the morning, the other one has to follow as he/she cannot remain asleep because of the inevitable noise. I found it a challenge putting my head under the fixed tap to wash in the morning, a challenge that I failed. One had to be a contortionist to do that, and I am not. The bathroom was modern and comfortable and all shower gels of high quality. Like children, we enjoyed having free sweets on our pillows waiting for us every day. It was an immense pleasure having breakfast al fresco. The breakfast comprised both hot and cold items. It may not be the largest variety you ever had, but whatever was available was fresh and of high quality. The hotel has no restaurant, but this creates no problem as it is surrounded by a wide choice of restaurants. Undoubtedly, the greatest asset of the hotel is its staff. Invariably, they were charming, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. During our stay we attended two free music concerts at the hotel, and both were very enjoyable. The hotel is maintained at an exceedingly high standard of cleanliness throughout. On the day of our departure, we were given a small bag of local ‘goodies;’ it was a generous, and very much appreciated, gesture. I would not hesitate for a second to stay at the Bella Venezia hotel if I were to return to Corfu. The innate hospitality of the staff is second to none and credit to Greek character and culture.

The hotel doesn’t have its own parking lot and I don’t know about any car park nearby, though you can usually find somewhere to park on the street. You can smoke in the garden.
There are more places to choose from in the Corfu Town area.
