Description

Bella Vita is situated in a quiet and delightfully sunny neighborhood in Monte Rio. Skillfully remodeled, natural light shines through every room. Everyone will feel welcome to be together for relaxation and meals! You'll cook up a storm in the full kitchen featuring a professional-grade Wolf range and then enjoy dining alfresco on the private patio alongside a backlit waterfall. Families with kids and dogs will relish the sunny, fully fenced backyard, back deck, patio with BBQ and hot tub.

Cozy up in the living room to watch a movie or take a walk to the Monte Rio Beach, restaurants, locally made ice cream, and additional recreation. You're a short drive to wineries, coastal hikes, adventures in redwood forests, or floating down the Russian River. And after a day of exploration, luxuriate in the master bathroom's soaking tub or glass-walled shower. Contemporary furnishings and accessories grace this modern interpretation of a river family home.

Spacious, clean, beautiful home! Perfect kitchen for those who love cooking. Our pup especially enjoyed the grassy yard and swimming at the river beach (walking distance). Highly recommend!

Hello Cathy, We're glad you enjoyed the home, kitchen, and nearby river beach—and especially that your pup had a great time too. We'd love to host you again!

Lovely home with all of the amenities - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Dog owners be aware - lots of ticks in the backyard - but that’s to be expected, and our dog’s monthly drops seemed to keep them from attaching. We would definitely come back! The welcome bottle of wine was a very nice touch! -via Vrbo

Hello Sarah, Thank you for your review! We are surprised to hear about ticks and appreciate your letting us know- We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall and would love to host you again :)

Bella Vita was lovely. We were up each morning, headed to the beach, on a hike, to the Redwood Forest, to shop downtown. We loved your home in the evenings to gather together around the large table to share dinner, to talk and play games. This sounds rather old fashion but we came from across the country to reconnect our family. Your home provided the perfect setting. Thanks.

Though this lovely home was a bit further from our favorite wineries than we thought, we loved it. Unfortunately, there was a hiccup with the hot tub, so we couldn’t rate it 5 stars across the board, but the property manager did make up for it and we’re truly helpful and communicative. The home is very clean and well-stocked with essentials. We enjoyed the game room and the pups loved the yard. We will definitely stay again! -via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hello Holly, We are thrilled you enjoyed the home despite the sudden issue with the hot tub. It has since been repaired and is going strong. We hope you can stay again and have another chance to have a soak, thank you for being such understanding and kind guests :)

This house is wonderful! Husband and I, our two dogs, and two friends stayed for a couple of nights. Very roomy house. Nice well enclosed backyard with lawn (perfect for the dogs). The hot tub was so nice to use! The kitchen is well stocked, lots of towels, toilet paper, etc. The kitchen table is nice and large, we were able to set up our 'puzzle board' and a lego station and still have room for us to eat at the other end. House was nice and clean as well. One of the nicest vacation homes we have been too! Second time we have used River Homes Vacation Rentals. We will use River Homes again, hopefully we can stay at Bella Vita again as well! Thank you!

Great house! We stayed with our two young kids and it worked out wonderfully. Spacious, clean, walk to the river and two playgrounds (monte rio school and the beach/community center). House had chairs and an umbrella as well. Kitchen is well-stocked with high end appliances. Monte Rio beach is great just make sure to bring shade with you. The neighbors were all super friendly as well. Backyard is great for kids and adults, very private and quiet too. Lots of space in the house, could work well for multiple families or friends as well. -via Airbnb

The house is very clean, the management company, very responsive. The neighborhood is nice, but it is right next to other houses, so the privacy is ok, but not isolated, you're not surrounded by the forest or up next to the water. The wifi worked great, the kitchen is to die for if you're into cooking. The trash situation seamed odd, no green/compost or recycling bins, just 4 big trashcans outside, so I'm not sure why they aren't doing any recycling there. All in all if you need a fenced yard, hot tub and a real kitchen, this could be your place!-via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hello Jamie, The trash cans are picked up by a private service and there should be two cans for trash and two for recycling. Thank you for taking the time to review the stay. We're happy you enjoyed it! We would love to host you again :)

This home was so fresh and clean. The well-appointed kitchen was lovely and the beds were very comfortable. Lovely personal touches like a bottle of wine, postcard, and dog dishes made this a great place from which to launch our many local adventures. We did our best to sweep up the fur our dog tried to gift you, but since this is a dog-friendly home and was spotless, your cleaner probably has Jedi skills. Definitely recommend this host and home! -via Airbnb

Beautiful home with plenty of space for two young families. Wonderful gas fireplace and outdoor areas. The bedrooms and bathrooms have fluted windows in their doors so they're not particularly private, but they're comfy. Neighborhood is quiet and convenient with Guerneville less than 10 minutes away and plenty of fun spots between the home and the coast. Communication was frequent and fast, and we were able to check in a bit earlier. Thanks for a lovely trip! -via Airbnb

I went with a small group of close friends and my dog to celebrate my birthday after an especially difficult year. We were looking for an easy, peaceful, but fun time, and that's what we found. Bella Vita was exactly as described and pictured. We found the house easily and it's in a great location. You feel secluded, but still so close to so much. The house was immaculate and very well-stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the indoor/outdoor feeling, the yard, and the hot tub. I'd definitely love to visit again.-via Airbnb

Due to a miscommunication between property management and house cleaners the house had not been cleaned before our arrival on a Sunday afternoon. We cleaned everything ourselves and did the laundry. Property managers were responsive and comped us one night and waived the cleaning fee. Location is great for coastal access and to restaurants in Guerneville.-via Airbnb

Hello Larry, Thank you for your review. Our sincerest apologies again for the home, not being guest-ready upon arrival. We are glad the cleaner was able to come back and make the beds for you at the very least, and we hope to have a chance to impress you in the future!

My family had a ball at Bella Vita. Our only complaint is that there are no screens on the windows so that, if you wanna leave them open, you gotta deal with all the bugs that get inside. Other than that, it was a lovely, serene cottage with wonderful amenities. We particularly loved the Rose bushes in the front yard - so beautiful!-via Airbnb

Hello Marcia, Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Bella Vita! We appreciate your feedback, and we have reached out to the owner about possibly installing window screens. Thank you for being fantastic guests- We would love to host you again!

Our recent stay at the River Homes was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty, cleanliness, and spaciousness of the house. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the beautiful yard and front porch. We spent hours enjoying the serene surroundings and taking in the breathtaking views of the greenery and garden. The peaceful ambiance added an extra touch of tranquility to our stay. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat. It’s a short 5-minute drive to Monte Rio’s public beach, local restaurants, and convenient stores and about a 10-13 minute drive West to Duncan Mills and Jenner. Thank you to the hosts for providing us with such a wonderful stay. We hope to return in the future!-via Airbnb

Awesome home, wonderful location! Easy walk to the river, easy drive to Guerneville and Villa Grande. The river is cool on hot days, the hot tub is toasty on cold nights. Two friendly horses live next door and signs invite you to share a carrot or apple with them (which became a favorite daily activity for our family). Highly recommend!-via Airbnb

We loved our stay. Clean. Quiet. Well stocked - kitchen had everything - even some extras like spices, condiments, etc. Grill was awesome. Hot tub. Patio table. Beds were comfy. Nice linens. Bathrooms clean and well stocked. Tv was great. Laundry. Dining table meant we could all eat together. We were in town for a family wedding. Felt so comfortable and loved the area. The horses at the corner love carrots and apples. Def one of our best stays. I think it was even better than the photos.-via Airbnb

We can’t say enough good things about this home! The only bad thing is that you’ll have a hard time leaving and going back home! The home was spotless, smelled great when we walked in and you just can tell the River Homes Team cares about their properties, the exterior of the house was just as immaculate as the interior. The home was large enough for our family of 6 adults, the backyard was dreamy, lots of herbs and flowers, beautiful views of the mountains. The hot tub was extremely clean, the water was crystal clear and the water was already hot by the time we arrived, which is not always the case at some other AirBnBs with a hot tub. The outdoor furniture was simple and comfortable, the BBQ needed no cleaning before using and we had a lovely time in that space. You have neighbors on each side of the house but we never saw or heard anyone! Bonus… a few houses down, there is a green pasture where you can find two cute horses, the neighbor lets you feed them! 100% recommend-via Airbnb

Re: Russian River Vacation Homes - Bella Vita. We stayed for a few nights at this lovely, very clean & modern home. It's close to the river & Armstrong Redwood State Natural Reserve (easy hike), not too far from ocean (15 minute drive) & restaurants. Our family enjoyed the hot tub & had a blast with the game room. Appreciated the ambiance of the backyard fountain & gorgeous roses in the front yard (April 2022). The soft mattress top was OK for me (I like to lie on my sides), but not firm enough for my husband's back. Would definitely consider returning, but ideally, when the ice cream store (w/in walking distance) is open for the season.-via Airbnb

Absolutely great place! would go there again in a heartbeat. We rented the house for a weekend as family of four with two kids (5 and 2). The house was really easy to access and the description on how to enter was week described in the Hospitality app. take a screenshot before you go though as we had no cellular reception with AT&T. We really liked the spacious and bright house. The kitchen was very well equipped and had plenty of plates, pans, utensils etc. they had a toaster, micro wave, hot water boiler, coffee maker and the gas stove top even had a grill section. The bathrooms were very clean, modern, and well stuffed with plenty of towels. The bedrooms were spacious and what was great for our family with kids: all had blackout shades so it was perfect for naptimes. There bedroom with the bunk bed even had a kids nightlight and a really comfy seat which it kids enjoyed a lot. The living room has a huge TV with DVD system and speakers from the ceiling. Our personal favorite was the gas fireplace though. The garage is a game room with pool billiard and you can flip the table to play a different game. The outside seating on the porch as well as in the backyard are amazing. There is lots of light, fresh herbs which we used for cooking and two fountains which added to the calmness and peacefulness if the place. The hot tub was really nice and clean. We explored Monte Rio Beach, Downtown Guernville for lunch and the Armstrong preserve for a nice hike which is all within 10 min of a drive from the place. There is a school with a really nice playground about a block away from the house which was a big plus with the kids. I can highly recommend this place and will surely visit again. - Via AirBnB
