The place was so noisy and outdated..... cheap all the way. Nona's Cafe was VERY nice and the servers were awesome. Great breakfast. It just wasn't for us. Guess you get what you pay for!
Have to give a great review for Cafe Fiorne located across the street which was awesome. Highly recommended.
The mission was gorgeous. Weather was lovely and warm. Downtown was fun.
Next time we will glady pay more to stay else where!
For an overnight stop in Ventura on a restful vacation, we were excited about the old world charm the Bella Maggiore Inn had to offer. Within walking distance of Main Street and the lovely Cafe Fiore, we thought we couldn't go wrong. The price was even right for one night with the generous business travel discount they offer.
When I booked the room via the internet and I had never heard of the The Bella Maggoire Inn. I was attending a concert up in the area and the Bella Maggoire Inn was just a block from the venue. So I booked our room there for convenience.
When I walked in, I instantly fell in love with the whole place. It was like stepping back in time. We ...
The room was a wonderful mix of comfort and old world style. We loved the atmoshpere of both the hotel and Nona's Restaurant. It was exactly the weekend getaway that we were looking for. The location (close to the beach and a wonderful downtown) as well as the hotel staff were what will bring us back many times.
My Boyfriend and I Love the Bella Maggiore! The staff was Great and very helpful we had room 18 which was very nice with a view over looking the Beautiful Nona's Court yard Cafe where we had a wonderful breakfast. We'll be back......
hotel was very beautiful, but the service was horrible. No eye contact, and the girl working was extremely rude. Very unwilling to answer any questions about our stay or the town alone. I have never been treated so poorly before while staying at any hotel.
My husband and I absolutely love this place! We have staid here quite often coming in from Bakersfield. We are frequent travelers and have staid at many B & B's. This is by far one of the best for your money. Staff is above and beyond friendly. The food at Nona's is excellent! And to top it all off it has its own resident ghosts. No fear there. They are just as friendly and helpful as the staff. Over all an Awesome time for all!
If you're looking for a swanky place, this isn't it. However, the Bella Maggiore Inn has tons of personality and an AWESOME breakfast. Excellent value...great location...I've been staying here on business for over a decade. Highly recommended.
What a delightfully quaint and charming Inn. Reminds me of Europe. A pleasant escape for the weekend. Enjoyed the wine and appetizers in the evening and the full menu breakfast - both included with the room. Nona's Courtyard Cafe was wonderful -- the trickling fountain, the food, and excellent service. My compliments to Chef Kevin! The hotel ...
I have worked and traveled all over Europe, and this place captures a small piece of the beauty that exist in Europe. I was amazed how this place brought me back. I loved it.
It is also close to everything going on in Ventura, night life, dinner houses, the beach...it is all right there.
