We wanted to stay in Wine country but not pay the exorbitant prices. John and Valerie were Wonderful hosts and gave us full run of the house. This was a special trip for us and the outside fireplace and patio were perfect for drinking a local vineyards wine! It is a BEAUTIFUL backyard and perfect location to the Vinyards and... More

Flew from the east coast. Rented a car and drove to Temecula, Tasted wines at a number of wineries. After 20 hours without sleep went to Casa Bella. It was a wonderful oasis. John, Valerie and Cocoa are wonderful hosts. John makes an amazing breakfast. He is a proactive host. He listens to you and will bend over backwards to... More

To read that our home is an oasis is a welcomed compliment. We strive to give first class service in a first class establishment even if it is our home. We welcome constructive criticism to better your lodging experience but seem to get raving reviews and 5 Star Ratings with each review. Believe me that is just what we want... More

We stayed one night here in March. This was our first home stay and was a wonderful experience. The hosts (John and Valerie) were knowledgeable about the local area (restaurants to go to, vineyards to visit, etc). The house and rooms are comfortable. It was nice to be able to take a nice jog through the neighborhood-plenty of area to... More

Casa Bella Sera has 3 city parks within 3 minute jog in any direction. Jogging on Rancho California Road is a heavily travel road where the majority of the Lodging Inns are located. Taking an early morning run is best taken along our protected horse trails and down to the parks where most of our neighbors run each morning. The... More

This was our first time at a home stay ever!! However, it doesn’t stop there. Walking into the establishment you notice the home’s attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It is neat, clean and well kept. That’s not all. The owners John and Valerie are engaging and attentive. They make every effort to make your stay pleasant... More

We are flattered that we exceeded your expectations. Compared to a Hotel room, you have use of all the rooms and back garden area as well as the side yard bistro tables just outside your French door of your room.

Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood with a great view off the back. beds were a little on the hard side and the bathroom was just down the hall, would have liked it in the room. It was very quiet and a beautiful house. We would have liked more for breakfast, saw others had sausage, we had pancakes or waffles,... More

Abraham Lincoln is attributed to saying "You can fool some of the people some of the time" I will exchange the word fool with please. You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time but not please all of the people all of the time. Thank you for your suggestions... More

We were surprised and delighted by this experience. Casa truly felt like a home even better than our home. Beautiful environment and decor. Wonderful breakfast and conversation. Even little Coco was a welcoming "hostess."

Five Star Rating is important to any business when the public depends on others to get first hand opinions before they try an establishment. We found it easy to acquire the Five Star Rating based on our philosophy to give to the Guest what we would expect if we were the Guest and then exceed that expectation. More

Had a nice stay (Home Stay not B&B) at Casa Bella Sera. John and Valerie were gracious hosts. Breakfast was really good, eggs and sauage one morning and french toast the next. We stayed in the Napoli room (king bed). Room is a little cramped but nice, probably could do without the chair and small table. Just had a nice... More

Our Bathrooms are private to each bedroom, not shared. We provide bathrobes to all guests to use while at our home. We just placed a chair in each room as an alternate to place one's luggage rather than on the floor and the table is there to hold our Temecula winery coupons and restaurant references.

You planned your Holiday well in advance to come to the United States to give me enough time to purchase the United Kingdom's flag so commonly referred to as the "Union Jack". Valerie didn't recognize that reference as to UK's flag; she thought I was ordering the Southern Confederacy Flag of the U.S. civil war. She soon understood the reason... More

Beautiful house and host couple. John and Valerie are very nice - we enjoyed our chance to get to know them. Rooms and bathrooms were top notch and the breakfast was wonderful. They have thought of all of the special touches that let you know you're not staying at a hotel. We would definitely stay there again!
