I stayed in Bella Venezia for 4 very hot nights earlier this month and was generally very satisfied.
Location of the hotel is excellent, in the center of the beautiful city of Corfu and a short walking distance from most of the attractions of the city. The road in which the hotel is located is blunt, but quiet and although there is no hotel parking, it should not be very difficult to find street parking, especially in weekends.
The hotel occupies an old building of the 19th century, but has being recently completely renovated and looks really stunning from outside.
The very good impression continues in the common areas of the hotel, which are tasteful and atmospheric. The rooms are also excellent: they are not spatious, but they are extremely clean, luxuriously decorated and fully equipped with all expected amenities. All furniture, curtains, linen etc look and feel quite expensive and are refering more to a good 5-star hotel, rather than a 3-star, like Bella Venezia. Almost all rooms do not have a balcony (there is no much view to miss anyway), but their high ceilings give them an extra flair of luxury. Special mentioning should be made to the bed, which was a real double and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in my life.
Staff at the reception are friendly and helpful (especially the male ones) and the same is true for the breakfast staff. Continental breakfast itself is also very good, offering ample choice of bakeries, fruits etc. It is served in a lovely garden, situated at the back of the hotel.
With all the above offered at a very reasonable price, for this time of the year in Corfu (100euros B&B), Bella Venezia would have earned comfortably my five stars, if it wasn't for one, but serious flaw: during my entire stay, there was a heat wave of unusual stength and the hotel aircondition system was clearly incapable to cope with it. Despite the presence of individual controls in the room, they have no value, as proved by the fact that I was constantly setting them at 18C and never got a room temperature below 27-28C, even at nights! In my repetitive complaints to the reception, the staff reassured me that the aircondition works fine and it should be just a matter of patience. In time, I realised that reception staff had a sophisticated PC software, where they could monitor the exact settings, operational status and temperature of each hotel room. The fact that they were constantly monitoring the relevant screens (and tried to intervene(?) centrally to improve things ) proves that they were aware of the problem, even if they failed to admit it or manage it effectively. I don't know if the source of the problem was cost cutting in the purchase of aircondition equipment or simply the limitations set by the structure of the old building (most probably the latter), however the end result was a hot unpleasant room in where I could hardly enjoy my night sleep (thanks God that I was away all day...). Certainly, the weather conditions were extreme, but this problem has tarnished an otherwise excellent experience from Bella Venezia.
However, I must say that it is an overall excellent hotel, which I would happily recommend to anyone and in which I would happily stay again, anytime apart from mid-summer.
