Hotel Byron Bellavista - Jesolo

First stay at the Byron Bellavista. Fair price for a 4* hotel. Breakfast more like a 3*. Miss variety like different cheeses, different meat, not always the same food every day.

Poor room, poor food

After a very noisy cruise from Venice on the "most beautiful ship in the world", it was like comming to heaven when we sank down into Byron's terrace chairs and could, in fact, hear the waves rolling on to the beach just below; No thundering loudspeakers, no exercise commands, no screaming kids diving into the pool, - just kids playing! Wonderful! We probably had the best double room available as to location, 4. floor (403), forward on the SW side, the next would be the big seafront rooms - with another price! A bit small (as we had to line up two big suitcases along the wall), but recently renovated with a very nice bathroom. The balcony, although small, was ideal for a night cup watching and listening to the ever rolling waves. With no street noise, we could later leave the balcony door open through the night, - no sleeping pills! Gliding through Byron's lounges, bar and restaurant tells you about an owner with a supreme grip on good taste, art and style, - it's pure medicine just to sit down with a good drink and just look! Byron is the southernmost hotel on the 4 mile long Jesolo strip, close both to the direct Venice boat and the Venice/Jesolo centre bus. On Byron's privat beach you will all the time have your own reserved set of sunbeds + umbrella, even if you should prefer laying alongside the pool on a thick mattress (obs €5, incl a big towel). The food is fenomenal and - by all means, - take the half pension, 5 courses for €10!! And what service - all over the place! Top stylish waiters serving you - certainly with a glimps in their eyes! However; If you - after a while - can't stand the lack of thundering speakers, the nearby bus (every 1/2 hour) takes you to the roaring Jesolo centre in a few minutes. Conclusion: Ref to other travelers' reports, you may probably find other hotels up the strip being as good as Byron with same level of class, style, service and food, but better? Hardly not!!

We had a really great stay, recommend to everybody for a relaxing weekend or holiday (tough jesolo night life is not far, just 5', need to go by car,but no problems for parking). the hotel is elegant in every detail but not too serios and public areas offers a lot of nice places to stay, and a really nice view to the pool and to the seaside. the private beach is clean and quiet, not overcrowed like others in the middle of jesolo. the food is great, we appreciated above all breakfast and lunch (buffet) for the variety, dinner portios were small but excellent cooking. nice rooms with balcony and every comfort, completely new bathrooms.

The problems are allways the same.The rooms should be make new, the bathrooms has standards from 1970, but nobody can make new hotels, if you just have five months season in the year.The hotels all in italy are old, they are charming,but you never have modern standards. We had wonderful diner and a very special service, but the rooms are not 4 stars.

We went there short notice without investigating too much and were very pleased with the setup and staff
