Bella Vista b&b

Great location in centre of village. We were in the basement so lacking views and light. Great breakfast. Kitchen has little gas stove difficult to use. Parking free in spring time at Porta Carmine. Helpful friendly host. Terrace looks nice but too cold when we stayed.

We booked this place expecting a nice view from it, with a name like Bella Vista, what else? Our room faced a court yard which faced another room, tricky to open the window as you had people in the courtyard. Disappointing. The owner was friendly but somehow he and his wife seemed disorganised and not very professional in the morning at breakfast. Breakfast was terrible, served over the road in a room with no view either. The buffet was not a buffet and you could only help yourself to some stale bread and old apples or some concentrated juice, the rest they brought to our table, mostly tasteless and low quality ham and cheese and a stale cake. The jams where factory made and in small plastic containers… we don’t get it how in a country like this they serve factory jam… and don’t get me started on the plastic. The owners looked stressed and unable to cope, it felt like they had too many guests. My cafe latte was cold. When we went to pay he took up to the top of the house where we could see the lovely view from the terrace… a bit too late!! Not returning.

The family running the B&B were so friendly and helpful. The views for breakfast were stunning and we enjoyed the tasty breakfast overlooking the views. It is well located in the middle of the village with comfortable beds. I would highly recommend a stay in this wonderful place.

There was some confusion with where we could park and where to find the b&b. Once we worked through that, the property was in a very good location and served a delicious breakfast!! The accommodations were certainly minimalistic but for a quick visit, it met our needs and the price was great!

Beta is great and very helpful. Wonderful stay!
