I really enjoyed my stay here at Montebello. It was a last minute decision to take a road trip and we literally googled this bed & breakfast place while still in the car! Luckily it must have been a low season and there was only one other room occupied besides ours. The rooms were superbly clean and well decorated to... More

We had the distinct pleasure to stay at the MonteBello Bed & Breakfast Inn in Ames Iowa Sept 30 and Oct 1st 2011 for Iowa State college family weekend. This is a place we really enjoyed. Having stayed at many different B&B's throughout the country this was one of our favorites. The innkeepers (Daphne and Jaime Reyes) were simply fabulous... More

My wife and I went here for our baby-moon, a last get away before our baby arrives. We live in Des Moines so we have about a 45 minute drive to get to the B&B. We got a late start and didn't arrive until 8:30pm. The parking lot was bursting and we had to walk pretty far for a small... More

What a wonderful discovery! We were greeted by our hosts on arrival from a long plane flight from New Jersey with fresh brewed coffee. Our room had wonderful views of the Iowa prairie... More

I was absolutely delighted that my family chose to have my nephew's wedding at Montebello this past weekend. His wedding was on the terrace by the garden's that are outside the kitchen. It was amazing - the flowers of the garden actually matched the colors of the wedding! A coincidence, but quite lovely. My favorite picture from the wedding shows... More

I attended a wedding at MonteBello June 6th. Upon arriving I ran into the Mother of the Bride in the driveway.

The mother was... More
