I couldn't recommend BellaVida any higher.
My wife and I travelled from NY to watch the F1 racing at COTA and had initially planned to stay in Austin. I'm so pleased we didn't. Wimberley is a small quaint town with a range of tourist shops and restaurants (the mahi tacos at Chill's are great!). Its around 45 drive to Austin. You need a car in Texas so why not stay somewhere a little more authentic than the city.
BellaVida puts the treat in retreat. This large (its Texas, of course its big) well kept ranch could warrant a 5* review alone. But, the real USP's here are Belinda and Steve. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed like old friends rather than paying guests.
We stayed in the Magnolia and Denton rooms. The Magnolia is the premium economy of rooms, exceptionally clean and comfortable. However, the Denton suite is the full VIP private jet experience. It has so much space with a large bed and ensuite complete with a bath/shower. You could quite happily snooze your alarm and relax in here all day were it not for breakfast. Oh my days, breakfast is amazing! We stayed for 4 mornings and breakfast was first class each day. Breakfast was shared with other guests as Steve plays maitre d' alongside his hens and their little sausage dog. Meanwhile Belinda works her magic in the kitchen. I only wish I'd taken more pictures.
If you're still reading this review please STOP. Do yourself a favour and just book a trip to BellaVida already! You won't be disappointed.
