Nice place tho my room overlooked a community parking lot on Saturday night--some interesting activity, but no problems with noise or sleeping. Large room, large bath. No tv, comfortable bed. Great breakfast and very nice courtyard seating--great Sunday morning guitarist (Segovia style) accompanied food service. more

On a recent trip down the California coast we elected to stop in Ventura before heading into the San Fernando Valley. We chose the Bella Maggiore Inn because it had a downtown location and promised a bit of old-country atmosphere. It met our expectations and more. Our room, which was clean & comfortable, overlooked the out-door plaza (you do have... more

A bit faded and in need of an upgrade but charming in its way. Our room had a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard where breakfast's served. that was nice. What was less so was that our room was next to the cafe next door which had loud live music. A real pain. So the quiet room we requested turned out... more

I had read all the reviews before I booked and had sent my brother on a reconnaissance mission. I decided to book since nobody had said it was miserable.

My husband and I have stayed at the Bella at least three times. We originally stumbled upon it on one of our many "gypsy trips" over the weekend to Ventura. We were eating at the Busy Bee Restaurant, and when we walked around the corner we came across the Bella Maggiore, and decided to check it out. The lobby is... more

For an overnight stop in Ventura on a restful vacation, we were excited about the old world charm the Bella Maggiore Inn had to offer. Within walking distance of Main Street and the lovely Cafe Fiore, we thought we couldn't go wrong. The price was even right for one night with the generous business travel discount they offer. All was... more

I have stayed at Bella Maggiore three times, and always found it to be a wonderful, very European experience (I am from UK). My first stay, the restaurant was open for dinner which was a lovely experience, like dining in a courtyard in Italy with very good food. Later trips, Nona's was only open for the fabulous breakfasts, included in... more

Located in historic downtown, Bella Maggiore is a gem...old world hospitality from the wine and cheese social hour to the beautiful, free full breakfast served in the restraunt in the morning. The management and staff go over the top to make sure that your stay is more than comfortable, but also memorable. Each room is appointed with antiques that have... more

While visiting family in LA, my sister and I decided to escape the city and take a fun, quick trip out of town. We did some Internet research and found Bella Maggiore. Initially we had misgivings because it's supposedly haunted, but since we've never stayed in a haunted hotel, we decided to book a night anyway. Upon entering I was... more
