We’ve stayed at Bella Vista before and each time the experience has been great! The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming which honestly made our stay even better. It’s rare to come across such genuine hospitality and it’s the main reason we keep coming back. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, and the location is super convenient. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a place with great service and friendly hosts!

Like 2 years ago, the manager immediately offered to carry our suitcases up to our room. We are in our eighties and would have had serious problems with that. He did the same for carrying them down when we left! GREAT SERVICE 👍!!!!
