Stressed out? Try a room here with a bubble tub and then fall into a comfy bed with great linens and dream on! We enjoyed our stay here. The room was large, well furnished, and quiet and the owners were lovely people. Continental breakfast was excellent with pastries from Gayles, yogurt, fresh fruit, juices, Numi teas and good coffee.

We really liked this place. So often we pay a lot of money for coastal places and leave feeling that it wasn't worth it. This place was different. The room was very large, well decorated, and had a few extra little things that I appreciated. The bathroom floor was heated! How cool is that. There was mirrow that was magnified... More

We stayed at the Bella Notte for a quick weekend getaway. It's a charming little place. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had a very short visit to Santa Cruz, and only spent about 10 hours at this hotel, but it was one of the most comfortable and joyous lodging experiences I have ever experienced.

Great location, beautiful rooms, very clean and very close to the beach. There are restaurants and a cafe within walking distance and it's less than 15 minutes from the boardwalk and downtown. Although it's on a major thoroughfare, the rooms were very quiet. We did have an issue with the room, but the management took care of it. They were... More

With such wonderfully decorated rooms and the most comfortable beds and only a shirt walk to a gorgeous beach, who could go wrong? The service was wonderful, we got chatting to the owners who were very helpful in arranging a taxi to take us to our booked restaurant and it turned out they had dined there a few nights before...
