My 23 year old granddaughter and I spent 3 nights here. We loved it - she came home telling everyone how neat it was and about eating breakfast with strangers was a neat experience. Wonderful hosts.

Southern hospitality at its finest
I couldn't recommend BellaVida any higher.
My wife and I travelled from NY to watch the F1 racing at COTA and had initially planned to stay in Austin. I'm so pleased we didn't. Wimberley is a small quaint town with a range of tourist shops and restaurants (the mahi tacos at Chill's are great!). Its around 45 drive to Austin. You need a car in Texas so why not stay somewhere a little more authentic than the city.
BellaVida puts the treat in retreat. This large (its Texas, of course its big) well kept ranch could warrant a 5* review alone. But, the real USP's here are Belinda and Steve. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed like old friends rather than paying guests.
We stayed in the Magnolia and Denton rooms. The Magnolia is the premium economy of rooms, exceptionally clean and comfortable. However, the Denton suite is the full VIP private jet experience. It has so much space with a large bed and ensuite complete with a bath/shower. You could quite happily snooze your alarm and relax in here all day were it not for breakfast. Oh my days, breakfast is amazing! We stayed for 4 mornings and breakfast was first class each day. Breakfast was shared with other guests as Steve plays maitre d' alongside his hens and their little sausage dog. Meanwhile Belinda works her magic in the kitchen. I only wish I'd taken more pictures.
If you're still reading this review please STOP. Do yourself a favour and just book a trip to BellaVida already! You won't be disappointed.

Belinda and Steve felt like family. My mom and I loved our stay! So cozy and quaint. We loved the decorations and personal touches. The breakfast and conversation was homey. Couldn't say enough! Also we were glad to meet their cute dog Gracie who made us smile! Highly recommend if you are in the area

Stay at Bella Vida Bed and Breakfast Retreat
Enjoyed our weekend trip to Bella Vida Bed and Breakfast. Run by a friendly couple, the retreat is a laid back calm place with roosters running around,a pet dachshund... It is relaxing and calm, there is a game room with TV etc,colas and ice cream you can help yourself to... We loved the quaint and quiet place... Only thing I was upset about was that our room was a Jack and Jill room with a shared bathroom which was not mentioned when we booked ourselves. During Covid times this was a worrisome point. So do double check before you book Suite Sarah or Suite Magnolia. The other rooms are fine.

This place is superb and should be your first choice of a place to stay when visiting the Texas Hill Country!
The hospitality was very warm and unsurpassed. The home is artistically decorated with a beautiful and peaceful environment. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The breakfast is wholesome and so well prepared.
We loved this place and had such a wonderful stay!!!!!

This Bed and Breakfast did not disappoint. The food was delicious. The decor in our room was beautiful. The bed was super comfy. Overall everything was quiet and peaceful. This was exactly what we needed. It's close to Wimberly Square and Market Days. The owners are so sweet, very helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back. It's the perfect Hill County get away.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Bella Vida for our 17th wedding anniversary. Even before our trip, the communication with Belinda was excellent. She went out of her way to make sure that everything was in order before we arrived including a special request I had made for my wife. Once we arrived, we were warmly greeted and given a tour of the property and all the amenities. Our room was wonderful, just as described and we immediately felt right at home. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious home cooked breakfast served on an antique farm table. Steve, Belinda's husband was so helpful and we enjoyed talking with him throughout the week. He and Belinda both loved to share local information, restaurant recommendations and places to visit in the area. We loved floating in the Blue Hole and the Blanco River. Their recommendation for our anniversary dinner at Trattoria Lisina was excellent!!! We honestly didn't want to come home and extended our stay an extra day. It is one of the most peaceful places we have ever been for our anniversary. We truly left feeling like we had made two new friends that we would hopefully see again for another special occasion.

This place was absolutely amazing!!!! We all thought that the house and property is beautiful. Our room was incredible. We enjoyed the private screened in porch with swings. We had the best time. Steve and Belinda treated us like family. Even my 12 year old was never bored. The breakfasts were amazing!!! We are definitely coming back in the near future. We are recommending this place to our family and friends.
