I stayed in this hotel three years ago -- it was fine but needed a lot of attention and major upgrades. One year ago, the hotel closed for nine months of renovations. Wow, the owner paid great attention to detail! The results deserve a big round of applause. The one thing that did not change was the service which was... More

We (three couples) spent 4 days in Bellavista in August 2011. The service is VERY good and personal. Excellent breakfast (especially for Italian hotels). The rooms are clean but differ, because of the location (backyard). The eye-catcher is the pool at the top.

Nice hotel, perfect location for cycling, but without a car would be a problem. Wonderful views and excellent food.

I chose this hotel in Tuscany based on previous reviews and I wasnt dissapointed at all. It is great family hotel in small Tuscany town called San Baronto.Location is great because you can go on day trips in Florence, Siena, San Gimi. Pisa,Lucca... all of them in just a 45 to 60 minutes by car. The best way to go... More

We spent a week in Bellavista in September 2008. The hotel, ran by very friendly Giuseppe, exceeded most expectations. It is located in a village on a mountain (accessed by a windy road - great views, but drive carefully), with the hotel pool (small, clean) overlooking a pretty valley. Very good spot if you travel by car, because it is... More

We were very, very, VERY pleased with our choice of the BellaVista. We had read that Guiseppe, the proprietor, was well known for his hospitality. We were not disappointed. He was constantly in motion serving his guests, yet he always had time to give ear to our needs or questions and never made us feel like we were in any... More

I stayed at the Bella Vista for eight days in September of 2008 while on an extended tour of Europe. The beautiful hilltop location, between Pistoia and Vinci, the delicious food, both at the Bella Vista and in the neighborhood, and, most of all, the hotel staff, made this place the highlight of my tour. It was also the least... More

I was on a vacation with my parents and my brother. We flew in from London to Rome. We hired a car there and drove to Pisa and then to San Baronto since we were keen on visiting Vinci. We stayed at BellaVista for 2 days. We really loved the view, and most of all, the people and their hospitality,... More

My wife and I got a cheap flight to Pisa on Ryanair and looked for accomodation in Central Tuscany to visit Siena, Florence and Pisa.We hired a car and drove there where we stayed a week. From the very start we were treated like royalty in this inexpensive but wonderfully located hotel by Guiseppe who could not do more for... More
