Bella Vista Hotel and Self Catering suites is a company based out of Ireland. The Hotel is situated in the picturesque tourist town of Cobh which is not only a town full of history and culture but the hotel itself has several stories to tell from times gone by, all of which add character to such a cozy building. The Bella Vista Hotel sits in a very prominent location in the town overlooking Cobh Cathedral as well as commanding uninterrupted panoramic views of Cork Harbour which contains Spike Island, another island in the harbor, with over 5,000 years of history to explore. The building that is home to the Bellavista hotel has had many uses down through the years starting off life as a private manor house and home to Dr. James Verling.
