Bella Venezia Hotel

A beautifully restored neoclassical mansion moments from Spianada Square, Bella Venezia Historic Boutique Hotel brings together the elegance of nineteenth century Corfu and the unexpected pleasure of a secluded garden in the heart of the island’s capital.

The building has a story woven into the history of Corfu Town. Its heritage reaches back to the celebrated Beautiful Venice Hotel of the nineteenth century, while the mansion guests see today has been carefully restored and most recently renovated in 2023 and 2024. High ceilings, balanced proportions and period details preserve its historic character, complemented by a lighter contemporary finish that feels entirely comfortable for a modern city stay.

Behind the handsome façade, the garden changes the mood completely. Flowers and mature planting surround a sheltered terrace, creating a leafy pocket in which breakfast can stretch pleasantly into the morning. It gives Bella Venezia an intimacy that suits the mansion beautifully and becomes especially welcome after several hours among the streets, squares and waterfront of Corfu Town.

Rooms & Suites

With 30 rooms and a single Master Suite, the accommodation retains the personal scale of the hotel. Classic Rooms are elegant and restful, while balcony categories introduce private outdoor space and a closer connection with the surrounding town.

The Romantic Double Room with Balcony has an especially appealing character for couples, while the Venezian Loft offers a different perspective through its position within the building. The Master Suite provides the most generous accommodation, bringing additional space to the same understated style found throughout the mansion.

Recent renovations have refreshed the rooms with comfort firmly in mind, pairing crisp linens and carefully selected furnishings with the architectural character of the original building. They make peaceful places to return to between mornings spent sightseeing and evenings in the Old Town.

Dining

Breakfast is one of Bella Venezia’s signatures and, during the warmer months, the garden is unquestionably the place to enjoy it. Greek specialities and local delicacies are served beneath the greenery, accompanied by freshly prepared dishes and eggs cooked to order with Cretan virgin olive oil.

The setting gives the morning a leisurely quality that feels particularly appropriate in Corfu. There is time for another coffee beneath the flowers before heading into town, while the hotel’s bar and lounge provide an easy place for drinks and lighter refreshments later in the day.

Experience

Corfu Town provides the wider experience, and Bella Venezia puts much of it within an easy stroll. Spianada Square and the arcades of the Liston are moments away, while the Old and New Fortresses, museums, churches, waterfront and atmospheric lanes of the historic centre invite days of unhurried exploration.

The location works particularly well because it allows the town to be enjoyed at different times of day. You can wander out early while the streets are still quiet, return to the garden during the afternoon and head back towards the Liston as Corfu fills with evening life.

Beyond the historic centre, the concierge can help arrange car hire and other excursions for guests wanting to see more of the island, making the hotel equally appealing as a base for combining Corfu Town with days further afield.

Wellness

The garden is Bella Venezia’s natural place to slow down, providing a peaceful outdoor space for reading, coffee or simply taking some time between excursions into the town. Its greenery and sense of enclosure give the mansion an atmosphere that feels surprisingly removed from its central position.

That balance is central to the appeal of staying here: the history and energy of Corfu are waiting immediately outside, while the mansion and its garden provide a graceful retreat whenever you return.

Where

Bella Venezia Historic Boutique Hotel is located in central Corfu Town, moments from Spianada Square and the Liston, with the historic fortresses, museums, waterfront, shops, cafés and restaurants all within walking distance.
