Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Bella Venezia

This elegant two-story Venetian town house centrally located has been used as a hotel since the 1800s and remains one of the nicest small hotels in town. The elegant lobby, with its marble floors, rich polished-wood ceiling, and chandeliers, is furnished with sofas covered in metallic-hued brocades. The high-ceiling guest rooms are small but have been furnished with simple, contemporary furniture. A buffet breakfast is served in the lovely gardens at the side and back of the hotel. There are no views, but it's wonderfully quiet and just a short walk from the Esplanade.
