Albergo Bel Sito managed to accommodate a last-minute reservation, and I arrived having some mild trepidation about booking into a small hotel in Venice, sight unseen. Boy, did I luck out!!! The Bel Sito may be a three star, but the staff treated me (and each guest I encountered) like we were rock stars. There is no part of this boutique hotel that is not charming and very Venetian. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, and I enjoyed it every morning. Loved having a spritz or glass of wine in the bar or at one of the outdoor tables facing Santa Maria del Giglio. My room, a single with canal view, was small but very well appointed with a compact ensuite bathroom that had everything you could possibly need/want. The bed was comfortable but could use fluffier pillows (my only minor inconvenience). My friend, who was in an apartment nearby, was made welcome every time she came to meet me. We both felt like the staff at the Bel Sito went above and beyond to make my stay in Venice comfortable and delightful.
