Bella Venezia

This is not a 5* hotel. The noise at night is so loud you cannot talk on your balcony. For a hotel that costs over £6000 a week, I would avoid at all costs UPDATE (once our stay was over): After being moved rooms we were able to sleep. Our first room was next to the events area and with 2 small children made a good nights sleep impossible. I still do think this hotel should not be a five star hotel. A word of warning to anyone visiting: the pools open at 10 am and close at 6 pm with the exception of the beach ball which closes at 8 pm. The first couple of days were fine with getting places near the pools however as time went on and the schools closed and more kids arrived sun-beds had towels on them being reserved all day and sometimes the family not turning up. Towels for the pools and beach are provided however there is no card system or manned exchange system. During our stay we only managed to change our house twice as people were just taking them, I heard one family say they had 12 in their room just to make sure they had spares. The food was generally good, however the drinks service was very slow. We often sit down for breakfast and have our drinks order taken and drinks would not arrive until we finish breakfast or sometimes did not arrive at all. This is the same in the evening. You’d sit down and there be up to a 45 minute wait for your drink to come to your table. The staff are trying their hardest to keep on top of it however I don’t think there’s enough stuff for the amount of people at the hotel. The icing on the cake was as we were checking out there was a surprise to us tourist tax of €15 a night, this is on top of everything we paid through TUI.

Excellent location if you want to stay in the old town. Overall, very good service and very friendly staff. The room and the hotel were very clean. We would definitely go back and we definitely recommend it!

Lovely hotel in a great location, close to the sea and old town. Delightful walled garden for traditional Greek breakfast on warm mornings. Comfortable bed, small but well appointed room. Every member of staff we met were helpful and so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

This was a real find. We’d read the excellent reviews and weren’t disappointed. Such a friendly, welcoming hotel. It was all so easy and relaxing. From welcoming drinks to a leaving gift everyone was so friendly. The hotel was spotless and, we believe, renovated in recent years. Room space is cleverly used and although our room wasn’t huge it never felt cramped. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice and there is a private outside area for eating. The service was excellent throughout. The hotel is situated in a quiet area but it only takes a short walk to find yourself in Corfu town centre. Special shout out to Nasia on reception who, like the rest of the staff, made our stay so enjoyable.
