Hotel Ristorante Villa Belvedere In Stra

29/11/2024: Some bad reviews here about the hotel really piss me off. If you want 5 stars, then you should book 5 stars. I recently stayed at this hotel and was very satisfied. The rooms are beautifully decorated in the Venetian Baroque style and are clean and of sufficient size. The terrace was amazing, with a great view over the roofs of Venice to St. Mark's Basilica. The bathroom was also modernized and had enough freedom of movement. An elevator would of course have been great, but this beautiful old hotel doesn't have one, exercise is healthy and the staff at reception helped with the luggage without me having to ask. The quiet location in a small side street just 1 minute from the Rialto Bridge is convenient, with everything hotspots in the immediate vicinity. In the morning, breakfast offered everything you need for a good start to the day, cheese, cold cuts, eggs, various types of jam, honey, Nutella as well as fruit and pastries and various juices. Absolutely sufficient for a 3-star hotel. I've already experienced hotels in Venice that had significantly less choice and similar prices. The 2-course menu that could be booked in the attached restaurant was also fabulous. Venetians also come here because the cuisine is known for its good quality. Of course you can also eat out in Venice at a much higher price, but in my opinion you don't have to because the quality of the food was impeccable. I recommend the Spaghetti alla Vongole, super tasty! All in all, I would book this hotel again at any time.
