We really enjoyed our stay and the staff were great.
Pros:

Bella Vista is a lovely Hotel and the staff are all lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was great and I was so impressed that a full gluten free breakfast was available.

Cons:

The only fault I would have with the Bella Vista is there is no lift so if you had a small baby or if you had mobility issues you would need a ground floor room .

HOTEL BIEN UBICADO Y CON " BELLAS VISTAS"
Pros:

Ubicación buena, pues el pueblo es pequeño y se recorre bien todo andando, aunque está en la parte alta y hay alguna cuesta, es superable. Tiene una vistas maravillosas, asi que de ahí el nombre. la Habitación es amplia y el baño también,

Cons:

E la habitación que nos dieron hay una cornisa que te obligaba a bajar la cabeza para no darte y era un poco incomodo. pero las vistas muy bonitas.
