Clean, comfortable, great breakfast. The best part was our host. Daissy is a fascinating person. I'm glad our family had some time to visit with her. Talking about her travels, Iowa City, really anything, was very enjoyable. I'm glad my daughters got the chance to meet her. Look forward to an opportunity to go back.

I was looking for somewhere reasonably priced to stay while in Iowa City for one night on business - I found much more than just a cheap room. The owner, Daissy was waiting for me on the front porch with a smile when I arrived and made me feel not just like a guest, but like family. We spent over... More

We spent one night at A Bella Vista while driving across country. Though our stay was brief, it was wonderful. Daissy is a wonderful hostess and has decorated the place with photos and souvenirs from her international travels. The room was comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was shared but clean and filled with towels and other amenities. Breakfast was delicious.... More

We needed a place to stay while visiting family in Iowa City over Thanksgiving and came across "A Bella Vista B&B". So happy we did! It was extremely clean, comfortable and the breakfast DELICIOUS!

My trips home to my alma mater are made complete with grand... More

We have stayed at A Bella Vista Bed and Breakfast twice and both times was wonderful. Daissy is a great "hostess" and very interesting to visit with. Her photographs that are on display around the house and the items she has brought from her trips are fascinating. The breakfasts were very good and served in a comfortable and delightful manner....

I had never stayed at a B & B so I really had no idea what to expect or what I would find. What I found was less than satisfactory. I stayed in a very tiny room with two twin beds which had a shared bath. Since there was no one else at the B & B I thought the... More

We have stayed at this lovely B and B a couple of times and have enjoyed both of our stays quite a bit. It is in a convenient location on a quite cul du sac with a quaint neighborhood feeling.

A Bella Vista B&B is in a great location, nice neighborhood, in cul-de-sac. Comfortable main floor room with two beds, big roomy bathroom, lots of travel photos taken by gracious hostess Daissy. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys staying at a B&B.
