Bella Vista House Hotel

Elevated hotel above town with harbour and cathedral views.

Bella Vista is the hilltop choice: a stay above the centre with harbour and cathedral views and a quieter feel than the waterfront hotels. It is best for visitors who are comfortable with the slope, arriving by car or taxi, or happy to trade a flat walk for the view.
