My wife and I stayed in Casa Bellavista for a month in February-March and had a grand time in that part of San Miguel. The house is very well named, with spectacular views of the ocean on one side, green hills on the other and pleasant cows as neighbours. One can hear the silence. The house itself is as nice as it is described: spacious, comfortable, well laid out, a wonderful kitchen with ample counter and storage space, and huge balconies. It was a bit cold when we first arrived but a couple of heaters made it comfortable. Weather kept us out of the lovely swimming pool, and daunting hills from using the bicycles but they are there to be used. The internet worked very well and the TV carried English language stations. There are pleasant and challenging walks from the house, and many others are accessible by car. Mario and Marcilia are charming hosts, kind, caring and attentive to all our many questions. San Miguel is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited, with spectacular colours, views and vistas at every turn. We must return to Casa Bellavista at some point for later spring flowers, and will highly recommend it to our friends.
