Bella Vista is a lovely one bedroom, top floor apartment, only a five minute walk from the centre of St Ives. It's very conveniently located, tucked away from any hustle and bustle but so close to everything and anything you might need in the town. With your own parking space, it's also a great spot for exploring the rest of the area, as you can come and go as you please. An unexpected benefit of this apartment is the small balcony, from which you can see the sea - it's a great spot for a cuppa in the morning, after a comfortable night's sleep on the Hypnos mattress provided. Come along at any time of year, for a short or a long break.
access through the communal door via 4 flights of stairs to the front door, entry into the hallway leading to:
sofa, armchair, TV/DVD, iPod dock/radio, French doors to balcony, two chairs.
table with seating for two, fridge/freezer, gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher.
double bed.
bath with shower over, WC, basin.
top floor apartment, gas central heating, allocated parking space in adjacent road (measurements: 6ft 5" high x 16ft deep x 13ft wide), please note that this property does not have a washing machine, WiFi, short breaks available.
Thursday time staying at Bella Vista and I will be back! It’s a great little flat, can see the sunrise from the balcony and the parking is amazing!

Lovely accommodation near to town. Undercover parking area very close by. Easy walk into town, but uphill back so may not suit elderly too well

Mr Prideaux Jul 2024
Really enjoyed our short stay in Bella Vista,lovely,spotless apartment,plenty of space for just the two of us,kitchen well stocked with welcome pack,comfy sofa in the lounge area & balcony was a bonus even though was small,were able to sit with a drink & have a distant sea view,parking space was a large bonus too,only an easy 5 mins walk into centre of St Ives,slight uphill back but was fine even for us 60+ somethings Only negative was the seagulls ‘squawking’ early in the morning & the shower head could do with replacing as sprayed sideways

Thank you for your review of Bella Vista. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay, and you made good use of the balcony. The property is perfectly located on the edge of St Ives, with the hustle and bustle of the town centre just a little walk away, though as you said there is a slight incline on the way back home after a long day exploring.
We are sorry if you experienced any issues with the shower - had we heard about this during your stay we would have been more than happy to get this addressed straight away so that your holiday could get back on track, but thank you for letting us know now. We can appreciate that the sound of seagulls may be an unwanted wake up call in the morning, but we hope you agree it adds to that seaside atmosphere! Katy, Customer Services.
This apartment had everything we needed for our holiday, location,car park, and quietness.5 minutes walk into the main part of St Ives.
Mr Ward Apr 2024
Lovely second trip to stay in Bella Vista, great flat, lovely location (especially for a post dinner walk back up from sunset on PorthMeor!) and rhe parking is a great help!
Miss Westgarth Sep 2023
Lovely apartment has everything you need just a short walk into town and the beautiful beaches.
Mrs Shimmell Aug 2023
Excellent little flat in the perfect location. Parking up the side was just big enough for my aygo. If you had a 4x4 you may struggle getting on and out.
Mrs Kercek May 2023
Nice clean flat with everything you need. The parking spot is fantastic and was big enough for our X5 with room to spare. Wouldn't hesitate to book it again.
Mr Siddall Apr 2023
Bella Vista was perfect in every way. Small but beautiful formed. Extremely comfortable, the parking space is a massive bonus. Just a 5 minute walk to the centre of St Ives and all it's delights. We would have no hesitation in stopping at Bella Vista again.
Mrs Scallan Dec 2022
Apartment was small but comfortable, in a great location and with a parking space, would stay again.
Mr Lister Oct 2022
Cosy and comfortable stay, easy access to all St.Ives has to offer, and the added bonus being parking space.
Mrs Mansfield Sep 2022
Lovely little flat, abit on the small side but we were happy for the price we paid at peak time of the summer. The parking space a huge bonus and easily fitted our Audi Q5. It felt very safe and secure and was quiet (apart from the seagulls!!)
Mrs Upstone Aug 2022
A spacious flat, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Having parking was a real bonus, as was the little balcony with distant sea views. The flat is set back from the main road so fairly quiet (except for the seagulls!) and very convenient for the Co-op and the Kettle and Wink. A 10 minute walk to the main shopping areas and beach. The living room floor was creaky and needs some attention.

We are glad that you enjoyed it there. Thanks for letting us know about the floor. It has never been raised by anyone before, or noisy enough for any of the team to note it on inspections, but we will check the next time that we visit the property and have passed on the feedback to the owner for their information. Tanya, Customer Services
A fantastic stay .A beautiful apartment.A little bit of a walk up hill but not to far. From the harbour it's hardly 10 mins . Would definitely recommend.
Mr Clossick Jul 2022
Well positioned property only a short walk of 5 minutes into town. An incline back up to the accommodation though which might be a little difficult for some. Overall, very clean well kept property throughout and we would definitely recommend and if available when we next visit we will again stay there
Mr Prideaux Jun 2022
Bella Vista is a very comfortable, compact, and well appointed apartment. It has been a great place for our week in St Ives and the added bonus of an allocated parking space cannot be understated.
Mrs MacDonald Jun 2022
Just had a lovely 5 night stay at Bella Vista apartment & absolutely fell in love with St Ives (as most do!) As a solo female traveller the apartment was the perfect size, safe & secure in a good location only a short walk on the main street into town. The apartment had the added bonus of a parking space around the corner which was ideal (highly recommend places with onsite parking) The apartment was very nice & warm given the time of year (March 2022) but the weather had been great, it had a small balcony to the front which let in lots of light & got the sun most of the day, a nice spot in the morning to enjoy a coffee. Also if you wanted to wash clothes there was a clothes rack & a laundrette a few yards down the road which came in very handy, so drying washing wasn't a problem. This apartment might not suit people coming with surfboards or outdoor water gear as there is no storage for such items, but for me it was ideal. If I could live in this apartment I would, I wanted to stay longer...it was a real home from home. Thank you for a great stay in St Ives, I will be back!!
Miss Conlon Mar 2022
Very clean, comfortable, modern flat 5 minutes from the harbour and shops but in a quiet off road location.
Mrs Cade Nov 2021
Lovely location great to have the parking would definitely go back
Mr Frost-Wilson Oct 2021
Lovely flat, very central. Welcoming bottle of Prosecco. Would certainly recommend.
Mrs Davis Sep 2021
A well located property with the added benefit of a separate nearby parking area which avoids the need to park in the 'tight for space' courtyard. The small balcony has nice distant sea views and catches the sun during the day. Worth noting the hallway has quite a large storage area (with hanging rail) as this isn't clear in the property description and is very useful.
Mr Hooper Aug 2021
Location is perfect so close to town. Added bonus of a parking space although not directly outside is very close. Comfortable apartment with everything needed for a couple. We had a baby so was a bit of a squeeze but luckily the large hallway provided some room for travel cot. A very enjoyable stay.
Mrs Barker Nov 2020
Beautiful place everything you need in apartment. Very cozy excellent view from balcony and 5 minute walk to shops
Mr Bunyan Oct 2020
Lovely apartment, well worth the walk up the hill, the view from the balcony is amazing and the flat was super clean and really well equipped.
Miss Westgarth Sep 2020
I would definitely recommend this apartment. Lovely balcony and sea view.
Mr Cox Sep 2020
The Bella Vista is in an ideal location, just a short walk from town and the parking spot is an absolute bonus also a big plus is the balcony which had the sunshine for most off the day we had everything we needed in the apartment at a very reasonable price i would definitely recommend it
Mr Martin Sep 2020
Great location, only a little walk into town. Great for parking and easy access to get out of st ives and visit near by beaches and areas. Felt extremely clean, safe and comfortable. Would recommend and would stay again!
Miss Plant Aug 2020
Always excellent booking service. Very quiet location, short walk to town / harbour. Much nearer to town than I thought it was, and easy access by road. Dedicated parking space, under cover. Well laid out apartment, and well equipped kitchen. I would definitely stay here again!
Mrs Williamson Nov 2019
A lovely apartment in a convenient and quiet location. Well appointed and comfortable with good sea views from the balcony. I like a good powerful shower and the one in Bella Vista is much better than I expected.
The only slight downside is that after a long day on the beach it is a drag up the hill to the apartment. But as St Ives is built on hill its to be expected.
We had an excellent holiday in St Ives and thoroughly enjoyed Bella Vista; so good in fact I’ve booked another property through Aspects for next year
Thank you Aspects and thank you to the owners!
Mr Simpson Aug 2019
This is a lovely wee flat just a short walk to any of st Ives beaches or the harbour. Modern interior which was clean and contained everything that you need. There is a small balcony that you can sit two chairs on. There is also a parking space just around the corner in another street however it is not very easy to get in it as there are cars parked slightly over the opening and it might not be suitable for a large car.
Mrs Kane Jul 2019
Bella Vista is in a nice location, a short walk from the town and beaches, and close to the Coop if anything was needed. It has sufficient space for two people, with everything that is needed. This is our second year, and we would come back again .
Mr Croft Jun 2019
Enjoyed our stay in Bella Vista over the very sunny Easter weekend, we used it as a base as we were visiting family outside StIves, it was very central, a very short walk from the main part of town and good to escape the crowds, Everything you will need in the , a great sized fridge, proper freezer and a fan in the bedroom for hot nights, nice little 'cove' in the hallway for luggage and clothing that kept it out the way, loved the small sunny balcony with a good view of the sea over to Hayle, chairs provided. The flat was a perfect size for 2 people for a short break, parking space a real bonus, very close to the property and there is space inside the courtyard off the road to unload, the secure building is in a quiet area within really easy reach of everything in St Ives, it is a very clean and we enjoyed our lovely welcome pack.Thanks again for a lovely stay Aspects and your attention to detail, standard and cleanliness in your properties and approachable, available staff.
Ms Mitchell Apr 2019
Loved the apartment, as expected from brochure. Fab location, 5 minutes into town.
Miss Ryall Oct 2018
Great apartment,close to the harbour and all amenities.
Mr Burton Jul 2018
A lovely apartment with easy access to all the wonderful places in St Ives, we would highly recommend staying here, could find no faults.
Mrs Jepson Jul 2018
Bella Vista was an excellent holiday get away. The accommodation was of a high standard, location was fantastic only a 5 minute walk into the hustle and bustle of St Ives harbour with all the restaurant and bars. Would highly recommended the Sea Food Cafe and the Mermaid but make sure you book. The accommodation having its own parking spot was absolutely priceless giving us the opportunity to explore more of Cornwall without the worry of not having anywhere to park when we got back. Will definitely be going back again.
Ms Jackson Apr 2018
Cottage was excellent, well equipped and very clean . Excellent private parking space in the next lane. 5 min walk to harbor.Would deferentially recommend.
Mr Wood Oct 2017
