Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Venice’s historic Cannaregio district, the 3-star Hotel Bellavista offers travelers an authentic Venetian experience with modern comforts. Boasting an impressive 8.3 rating from satisfied guests, this well-reviewed establishment has established itself as a preferred choice for discerning travelers seeking quality accommodations in the floating city. Located at Canareggio 1650 in the charming Cannaregio neighborhood, Hotel Bellavista provides an ideal base from which to explore Venice’s enchanting canals, historic sites, and vibrant culture. The hotel’s strategic position allows guests to experience both the bustling energy of Venice’s tourist attractions and the more relaxed, local atmosphere that characterizes this distinctive northern district of the city.

The Cannaregio district, where Hotel Bellavista proudly stands, is Venice’s second largest sestiere (district) and offers a fascinating blend of authentic Venetian life alongside historical treasures. From the hotel, guests can easily stroll to the famous Jewish Ghetto, the oldest in the world, with its poignant history and beautiful synagogues. The nearby Strada Nuova offers excellent shopping opportunities, while the majestic Ca’ d’Oro palace showcases breathtaking Gothic architecture along the Grand Canal. Hotel Bellavista’s location also provides convenient access to the Venice Santa Lucia train station and water transportation options, making it simple to navigate across the city or embark on day trips to surrounding islands like Murano and Burano. What truly distinguishes the hotel, beyond its comfortable accommodations and helpful services that have earned it its strong 8.3 rating, is the opportunity it provides guests to immerse themselves in authentic Venetian culture. In the evenings, visitors can explore the neighborhood’s traditional bacari (wine bars) and trattorias, where locals gather to enjoy cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and regional wines, far from the more tourist-oriented areas of San Marco and Rialto.

At Hotel Bellavista, the essence of Venice comes alive through thoughtful details and genuine hospitality. While maintaining the classic charm expected of a Venetian establishment, the hotel offers contemporary amenities that modern travelers appreciate. The 3-star rating belies the exceptional value and experience guests receive, as evidenced by the impressive 8.3 guest satisfaction score. Whether admiring the architectural details that pay homage to Venice’s rich artistic heritage or enjoying the personalized recommendations from the knowledgeable local staff, visitors find themselves embraced by the authentic spirit of Venice. From the moment guests arrive at this Cannaregio haven, they discover that Hotel Bellavista serves not merely as a place to stay, but as a gateway to experiencing Venice as locals do—through winding canals, hidden campi (squares), and the timeless rhythm of a city that has captivated the world for centuries. For travelers seeking to balance the iconic sights of Venice with a more intimate understanding of the city’s daily life and culture, Hotel Bellavista in Cannaregio provides the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories of the magical floating city.

Reviews

• Krystian from Spain – 15 February 2024 (9/10)

  We were very happy with the apartment. It was a great place to have a home for three weeks.

• Osip from Denmark – 26 May 2024 (9/10)

  Perfect location, see the views from the apartment.
  All that you need is just next door, but if you want to avoid the crowd walk 200m north & enjoy the quiet area.

• Diana from United States – 20 August 2022 (9/10)

  Great price. Center to everything, but quiet at night. Air-conditioning works well. We stayed for 4 nights and were able to cook most meals. The savings is significant. Several grocery stores nearby. Magnificent view from kitchen into street. It's our favorite routine in the morning, sipping coffee and watching crowd.
  
  What could be improved: The garbage and recycling are complicated in Venice. I wish we had well labeled bags for trash and recycling as described in government website. Instead we used grocery bags.

• Terrance from Canada – 4 June 2022 (9/10)

  Great location on the main thruway of Venice. Decent size apartment/flat with all the amenities including washer but no dryer except for a good old fashioned clothesline. Nice bathroom though shower size takes some getting used to.
  
  What could be improved: Great location but it was hard to find since the number of building is not facing the street it is on but on the side street where the door is. But getting lost in Venice is a gimme and should be accepted with pleasure.
  Hate the so called “tax” that is always asked for in cash.

• Francisca from United Kingdom – 6 May 2024 (8/10)

  Perfect location close to the city it had everything we needed.
  
  What could be improved: The entrance door to the building is really difficult to open. We struggled to open every time we went out.

• Julie from New Zealand – 18 August 2023 (8/10)

  It was in a great location, close to the railway station, supermarket for supplies and a short walk to attractions. There was also lots of reasonably priced restaurants close by.

• Agnė from Lithuania – 24 July 2023 (7/10)

  Location, comfortable bed.
  
  What could be improved: Noisy and leaking air conditionier, which is located in kitchen, so it is quite hot in bed room and not possible to let fresh air in as there are no mosquito nets on the windows. No bin in bathroom, which is always nice to have as well as towell hooks on the wall.

• Girish from United States – 26 June 2023 (8/10)

  Great location! Good value for money
  
  What could be improved: The property has a lot of potential – it can be spruced up a bit to make it even better

• Diego from Italy – 15 April 2023 (7/10)

  The flat was quite spacious, had all the expected amenities, was clean and easily accessible as it was a short walk from the train station.
  
  What could be improved: The host contacted me directly through whatsapp instead of through the booking platform, she did not show up on the day of arrival, instead she sent a street seller that worked nearby to welcome us. Said street seller, while friendly was not able to talk fluently in English nor Italian so it was difficult to communicate. The host was uncommunicative when we tried calling her and overall had a bad attitude.

• Sophie from New Zealand – 30 July 2023 (9/10)

  The location is excellent. This is a fantastic apartment. We loved staying here. The view of the street is fantastic, we walked easily from the railway station, you really feel like you're in the heart of it all, we walked all around the city. It's where locals go to eat as well as tourists. The apartment is only up one flight of stairs. The beds were comfortable and all facilities worked. Highly recommended and good value.
  
  What could be improved: The air conditioner was very loud. We had to wash some dishes before using them as they were dirty.
