The Malibu Bella Vista B&B - Calabasas, California

We came for a 50k trail race and this location was perfect- 5 min from the start. Michael was so sweet and greeted us and made sure we were comfortable, the room was super clean and cozy. It felt like we were staying with family. Michael was so generous with a late checkout while we recovered from racing. The views are gorgeous! Will be back ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of staying at malibu bella vesta bnb, and it was an experience to remember! From the moment I arrived, hosts went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I was warmly welcomed and asked for any drink if i need.

The room itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities one could ask for. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had some of the best nights of sleep I've ever had. The view from the room was stunning, adding to the overall ambiance.

What truly set this bnb apart was the hospitality. Host was friendly, professional, and eager to assist with any request. They provided excellent recommendations for local dining and attractions, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The bnb's facilities were top-notch, including a well-equipped kitchen, a relaxing rooftop jacuzzi with breathtaking views. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start the day.

Overall, my stay at malibu bella vesta was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend this bnb to anyone looking for a luxurious and welcoming experience. I can't wait to return!

We spent one night at the Mailbu Bella Vista and it was a delight.
I had not stayed in an actual Bed and Breakfast in years and forgot how you actually stay with the owners in their home!
The location is stellar, very quiet with spectacular mountain views and a very steep driveway. Our room was cool and dark, on the uphill side of the mountain and perfect on a very hot summer afternoon. We spent the evening at a reception nearby and returned late, slept in and were treated to a delicious hot breakfast (fresh fruit salad, eggs, bacon, toast & juice) served in their dining area. Michael, the chef and host, sat down with us after we ate and we talked for over an hour. Really lovely to get to know someone pretty well after one night in a BnB.
We will stay again. Thank you, Michael & Jani for a lovely stay.

When you arrive there it feels like coming home. Michael and Jani are so nice and try to make everything comfortable. It is so cozy and it feels like you are a part of their familie. The breakfast is a dream, it is warm, fresh and so delicious. If you have a question about the region or anything, michael always helps you with tips and makes sure that you have everything you need. It is a short way to Malibu beach. We could recommend it as one as a best.

My family and I did a staycation at the quaint and friendly Bella Vista. We felt very welcome at this perfect location spot. As a guest you'll want to call ahead and see if Michael can either assist you up the hill or you can park on the lower tier and walk up. However it is steep but the view is Mali-beautiful. One of the highlights was seeing our daughter have a blast with the two adorable and friendly dogs. Another great thing was spending a night in the hot tub and gazing at the stars. You definitely feel a family vibe at the Bella Vista.

Michael has been running his BnB for 20 years. He's a lovely person to talk to, and makes excellent french toast! During our brief stay, we found the perfect place to relax after the long drive to LA, to look at the stars at night and the mountains in the morning. The location is rural and quiet, but just 10 minutes to the beach and 20 to Santa Monica! Our room was sparkly clean and comfortable. Great place to stay.

Sitting atop a high hill, the Malibu Bella Vista is situated to provide stunning views and a nice atmosphere in the famous malibu climate. The driveway is steep, so take care when arriving, but it's worth making the climb. The rooms are very nice with all the amenities like cable tv, netflix, high speed internet and flatscreen tv's. Also, there is a nice jacuzzi for relaxing at night. Loved that too. MIchael was so helpful and just a great host all around. The breakfast were amazing! Very original cooking and very tasty. Malibu Bella Vista is a real bed and breakfast experience!

I just stayed here for four weeks and enjoyed it.|Looking at other reviews, I want to point out that this is not a hotel; it is a B&B, i.e. a private home with rooms or apartments. So, the atmosphere is very cozy and inviting, like staying with old friends. Michael and Jani run this enthusiastically, make feel you welcome and support wherever they can.|In the first place, I chose it as it is right next to one of my favorite trails, the backbone trail, and not too far from the places that are related to the main purpose of my trip (business trip).|My room, the "Champagne Suite" is quite spacious, with a big fireplace, refrigerator and own large bathroom. I enjoyed the quite evenings sitting next to the fireplace with my laptop (again- was a business trip ;))|Moreover, I was offered to expand to the dining room, which became my office in the mornings- by the way, the internet connection is reliable and fast. Also I was offered to use the kitchen- staying there is really like staying in the whole house- really cool. Basically I used the kitchen just for coffee, as I arranged B&B without &B (due to my schedule), except one day, and I can say the breakfast was awesome!|I should mention the location- it is awesomely quiet, and the views are very nice. The trail heads for both directions of the backbone trail are right there; there might even be a direct access through the vineyard, which I did not explore.|I only write reviews of good experiences. This was one of them, and I hope the room will be available for my next trips, which are always a couple of weeks. The B&B is for sure also a very pleasant experience for shorter trips, not matter what one intends to do in the region. If you like nice hikes with spectacular views, check out the backbone trail.|
