My stay at La Bella Vita Studios was pretty much perfect, beginning with a warm personal welcome from Julia. I stayed in the Blush Suite, which was tastefully furnished and very comfortable. It is self-catering, but the generous welcome basket of artisan bread, cheeses and other goodies - plus a lovely bottle of wine - was more than enough for our lunch. Muesli, yogurt and fresh milk was supplied for breakfast, plus tea and coffee and delicious rusks.
The bathroom has a huge copper bath, and a shower, and there was a generous and luxurious pamper tray of toiletries. I enjoyed the bath fizz balls!
Every night a chocolate bar was placed on the pillows.
The room is large and overlooks a stunning view of mountains and water. I had to drag myself away to do the sightseeing we had planned. I'd have been happy to spend the three days right there, reading one of the beautiful books which are left in the room for guests to enjoy.
Several excellent restaurants are close by, including Babylonstoren.
When we departed our rooms, Julia met us to say goodbye, with a slab of luxury artisan chocolate as a farewell gift.
I will definitely be back, and fully recommend this lovely place to anybody looking for comfort, peace, privacy and a glorious view.
