Bella Vista offers private rooms with ensuite, family room with shared bath, or hostel dorm-bed accommodation. In addition to a continental breakfast (using all natural ingredients where possible, with vegan, gluten and dairy free options), guests have use of the fully-equipped kitchen and a chance to connect with others exploring our little piece of Heaven.
