Review

We had a lovely time there, the view is great, place is peaceful and calm. Perfect for vacation and get always. I totally fell in love with the place. The mornings are my favorites waking up with a lake view. The meals are wonderful. My favorite was the barbecue. And Mark was of great help

Cherishing

This lodge has everything I have ever looked for as a well traveled woman. 
Location and view are 10 out of 10.
From my room (nr3) I see crater lake and mountains on either side. The lake is swimmable but only if you are really confident swimmer , it reaches to 500 m deep and has no sloping shores. Otherwise just stick to the very nice and heated pool.
Pietro and staff will do everything in their power to make your stay fantastic and relaxing. If you are an active person go on hikes with guide Alex over the hills to discover more crater lakes and villages. Chimp tracking or hotsprings are an hour drive. By own means or thru a touroperator in Fort Portal.
It helps if you have a solid car to reach this place . Although I took the Linkbus from Kampala. Get of at the village and the bodaboda will take you to the lodge for another 2000sh. Works fine!
The cuisine is Italian, never did rucola taste so good. Ofcourse you can order local as well. Whatever the choice is make sure you order in time so they can prepare your meal and serve it at your convenient time. The story of the Duke of Abruzzi getting to the top of the Rwenzori mountains in 1906 is well on display in the restaurant so stop by for this interesting piece of history. Also there is beautiful African Art in each room.
And...during my 6 day stay I had wifi, electricity and warm water around the clock. That is rare in Uganda. I will come back. 

Serenity

This place is the best thing that happened to me in the month of feb ! They have the best pizza❤️Accommodation is on point❤️They are located in the crater lakes region 🌍😳Customer care✔️Rates✔️Try them today for any sort of trip!

This Lodge has the advantage of being close to the highest peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. With a little luck (haze in dry season, sometimes clouds in rainy), you can enjoy sitting in the front porch of your room looking out over the swimming pool to the peaks (though the highest are further behind). Recommended for breakfast! The rooms are very comfortable and imaginatively designed. From your rear porch you sit right above the crater lake - maybe 100 metres belwo. Great for bird-watchers. A beautiful aerial dance of brown kites over the water this morning. The staff were all very helpful.

Comfortable, friendly and with amazing views

It's a beautiful place with lake views and tranquility.  Hot water. Ambient. Clean. Friendly service esp the receptionist called jammy and another called mugenyi. Place is goof for that quiet time after game drives and intense touring.

I recommend it . You check out late. You are given time to fully sleep 😴 😆 

Breakfast was okayish not the best limited options but  hey its the least of my worries .

Will surely go back

I will go back ....

You would pay hundreds of dollars in other lodges for the views you get from rooms here - but the smaller prices don’t represent a huge compromise in quality. Rooms are well appointed, bright and comfortable with views out to the lake on one side and the pool on the other. 

There is a good menu of Italian influenced food. Food is very, very slow to arrive even by more relaxed Ugandan standards. Best to order well in advance and go about your day while you wait. When it does come, food is very good! 

I travelled with my 1 year old daughter and was welcomed and looked after - but it’s perhaps not somewhere I’d recommend for those with toddlers as there isn’t anywhere for them to run around that is free from steep drops down to the lake (or next to the pool). Not a criticism- just an observation for those considering bringing very young children!  

The lodge is fairly isolated so don’t come expecting an action packed time - it’s more a place to relax and unwind in superb surroundings. A small selection of activities are available including a nature walk around the lake. You’d have to go further afield for other excursions. 

Pool could probably do with being cleaned a little more regularly - its was perfectly useable but a fair amount of floating debris from the trees- perhaps just the result of a couple of particularly windy days. 

Overall a lovely little place and really excellent value for money.

Unbelievable Value

The stunning panoramic view of the lake and the mountain was so incredible and so much we enjoyed staying here. i am sure we are looking forward to go back and stay at lodge bella vista. great thanks to the staff who did everything possible to make our trip amazing,we had nice food nice rooms with the view of the lake.

Beautiful and Comfortable

There is a great view from the lodge overlooking the crater lake.
This is a good place to relax, do some bird watching and have nice strolls. You can swim in the lake.
Staffs have always been very helpful. We were in a group of 35 and did not have any hiccups while staying there the whole weekend.
The lodge is also close to other attractions (Rwenzori, hot water springs) etc.
You can also walk up the the close by hill, though steep. Pool was cleaned every morning. Service was ok. Awesome and very comfortable beds. Our room had the view of the lake and we just enjoyed it.
you can also hire mountain bikes from the lodge.
A nice discovery.
