Casa Bellavista B&B

Beautiful villa and property in the Tuscan hills. Gorgeous view of Cortona. Simonetta was a wonderful host and had wonderful breakfast each morning and cooking classes in afternoon. We really enjoyed our stay.

Highly recommend this B&B. We had a fabulous 5 night stay at Casa Bellavista. The property is lovely on top of a hill overlooking Tuscany. A car is required as this property is truly "off the grid" and about 15 minutes to the closest village. Everything was top-notch. The rooms are large and comfortable with updated modern bathrooms. The common areas comfortable and the grounds were stunning. Additional touches that we appreciated include, bathrobes & slippers, stocked mini-fridge, screens on the doors & windows. The entire property is spotless and the hosts Simonetta & Guido were gracious and helpful with local advice. The breakfast service was abundant and delicious with an excellent variety of food whether you are vegetarian or not (homemade cakes, breads, cheeses, eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola and more). We took a cooking class which we all enjoyed. The food was delicious and Simonetta & Guido were fun in the kitchen. That same evening we were served the 5 course meal that we prepared. The setting & service were exceptional. This stay was one of the highlights of our trip.

If you have a car in Tuscany, Bellavista is a magical place to stay. First, it is a beautiful property, located at the top of a hill with stunning views of Tuscany and surrounding villages. Second, the hospitality of Simonetta and Guido is outstanding. They helped us book wine tours, and restaurant reservations, and were just lovely humans to interact with! We did the cooking class with Simonetta, which was great. The rooms are so comfortable. There is no A/C, but there was an incredible breeze all night. We slept great. Bellavista is mostly vegan - we are not vegan nor vegetarian and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all the food, though!

This i such a special place, so much so we keep coming back. Its not just a B&B but a home from home run by a most lovely family. The attention to detail is faultless and having not been here for a couple of years due to Covid, its clear Simonetta has invested much time and money into continous property improvements and a new lovely spa area complex. If you wish to immerse yourself into true Italian culture then this is the place to stay, Simonetta is the most charming lady, patient and always looking to please and help with making your stay most memorable. This is not just a B&B, Simonetta is a gifted cook and their cooking classes not to be missed and whilst a B&B dinner is available on request in a beautiful setting as the sun sets and then for breakfast as it rises once more. The rooms are beautifully decorated with true Italian decor, clean and very comfortable. There is nothing I could add to make this special place any better Simonetta has a true talent making this place a one of a kind. Grazie mille Simonetta and as always for helping me every day with my Italian. Love Paul & Tara XX

This was our third visit to this beautiful bed and breakfast. Simonetta is the perfect host and an exceptional, creative chef. The bedrooms are furnished with lovely antique pieces. Each room is unique. The location is breathtaking and the gorgeous flowers and landscaping add to the relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to our next visit to Casa Bellavista!
