Great experience staying at Bella Vista. Host went out of the way to ensure every little detail was covered, from arrival flowers to a dedicated car park with a view! And we the added bonus of spending a day on the electric bikes checking out the Great Taste Trail. Wonderful comfortable stay with a gorgeous view. Second time visitor!
