Villa Calma Bed & Breakfast

We were looking for a place to stay for our sons gradustion from BSU and rooms were scarce. We scored the last available room at Villa Calma. What a joy. For the same price as a sterile hotel atmosphere we enjoyed the beautiful homey comfort of this B&B. Breakfasts to rave about. Friendly and welcoming hosts who were understanding when our arrival was delayed. Wish we had stayed here on our other visits to Bemidji. Lovely spot on Lake Bemidji. We will remember our stay fondly.

Loved everything, the lovely breakfast, the kindness of the innkeepers, Kim and Marty, the grounds, the view and the rooms. Everything!

We had a very nice weekend in Bemidji Villa Calma was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed and the cleanest. The house is a short walk to the campus and downtown restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed our short time there very much.

What a lovely B&B and wonderful inn keepers! The saying goes that "the difference is in the details" and Harold and Kim obviously know that! From a gorgeous room with chocolates and squishy bathrobes to snacks and wine in the evening and scrumptious breakfast in the morning, not a single thing was overlooked. They even purchased vegetarian sausage for me for breakfast - what a delightful surprise! We had a great time and will certainly be back!

My husband and I were so amazed and pleased at how wonderful Villa Calma is. Harold and Kim were so nice and wonderful to talk to. They go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time. There was so much to do. There are games and movies that you can watch. You feel like you are at home. The breakfasts were AMAZING!! I wanted to finish my plate, but was full after the very generous servings. I recommend this B&B to everyone. I will be going back in 2 months.

We stayed at this bed and breakfast for 3 nights. The service and food was excellent and the room large, comfortable and clean with a lovely view. Our only regret was that the weather turned a bit cold and we couldn't enjoy the large grounds. We look forward to staying here again.

This is a beautiful, well kept house and property that Kim & Harold obviously take great pride in. They're very friendly and are great cooks. The afternoon wine & cheese was a real treat. We'd recommend Villa Calma to anyone.

Wow, this place is phenomenal! Already planning my trip back. We had the biggest room, Florence. The moment we walked into our room, it was calm and relaxing. We had our own porch. BEAUTIFUL view. I can't rave enough about this place. Breakfast was amazing! If you're a big eater, don't worry about not getting your fill. The hosts were friendly, ut not overbearing in the least. You could stay in your room the whole visit or you could go downstairs and visit with them. So many little touches that made you feel at home. Locked the main door when they left, water and pop in fridge, wine and snack at 5p, etc. --Megan

Fantastic stay. One that I will never forget. The B&B was relaxing and wonderful, Will stay there again!!!!

We stayed for two nights and wish it could have been longer. To say that Villa Calma was well run is an understatement. The owners went above and beyond with helping us get situated in our room and finding things in town. We can't wait until next summer to return.

My wife and I visited Villa Calma in Bemidji for the second time and absolutely loved it. Villa Calma is our favorite B & B. They have an amazing breakfast, eloquent rooms, and great service. If you have yet to go there, put it at the top of your list!

We had the Florence room. Enjoyed the balcony with view of garden and lake. In addition to clean and comfortable room, the living/dining room, enclosed porch, outside porch were comfortable and inviting, encouraging friendly interaction with other guests. Fantastic breakfasts, wine and snacks in the evening, friendly hosts with recommendations for what to do and where to eat, beautiful setting convenient to everything. Bemidji, in general was great for biking.

We enjoyed our three-day stay here in the "Red Room" so much that we would do more than stay here again if we ever returned to Bemidji. We would make a point of returning to Bemidji so we could stay here. Kim and Harold are warm and gracious hosts; their breakfasts are beyond delicious; the house is spotless; and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. M & J -- New Hampshire

Kim and Howard made us feel like family. We stayed 4 nites and wanted more! Met interesting other travellers and had an amazing honeymoon! Will go back for anniversaries! First time bed n breakfasters - Villa Calma has set the bar high, but has definately opened up a whole new travelling perspective for us. Jodi and George Penner

My daughter and I recently stayed at Villa Calma and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. Kim and Harold were wonderful hosts, and the food was truly memorable! The entire B & B was spotless, and we loved all the books, games, etc. If you want a particularly relaxing place to stay in Bemidji, with lovely attention to detail, and an Italian flair, this is the place! We will definitely be going back.

The innkeepers were very hospitable, the rooms were beautiful, and breakfast outstanding.

We had a Everything was outstanding at Villa Calma. Kim and Harold were a real pleasure and helped us with everything. Breakfast was out of this world! And the birds kept us company all day long. We'll definitely return when in the area.

We have stayed at Villa Calma several times and will never stay anywhere else in Bemidji. The rooms are quaint, lovely and very comfortable. The decor of the house is wonderful and homey. The breakfasts.... out of this WORLD. Harold and Kim are the most generous, friendly hosts we've ever had at a B & B.... Need I say any more??

The stay was amazing, the complementary wine and games were great. The family was warm and inviting. Food was delicious. The decor was very cute and in theme.

Having stayed in several European countries I can honestly say that Villa Calma is a taste of Europe with the perfect mixture of home blended in. Our stay was one of the best we've had as a couple and our only regret was that we only stayed one night. We are in the process of planning our next stay! Would recommend to anyone looking for a break from the every-day.

I can't say enough good things about Villa Calma. I've stayed at Villa Calma at least a dozen times and I would never stay anywhere else when visiting Bemidji. Kim and Harold have become such good friends, they actually feel like family. My entire family truely loves this place!

Wonderful stay at the Villa. Updated home, fantastic food, delightful happy hour wine and cheese, good DVD movie selections and a well-stocked hard-cover library. Welcoming but not intrusive hosts. Highly recommend it. Worth the drive. Just a short walk from BSU campus and downtown.

My stay at the Villa Calma was wonderful. Harold and Kim were friendly and welcoming. My privacy was respected. The home itself was beautiful with comfortble beds. I loved my view from my bedroom window. It was my first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast of that calibre. I would of liked to of been able to stay longer just to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the relaxing atmosphere.

Very nice stay at Villa Calma, very friendly and helpful hosts, amazing breakfast and wine and cheese tasting in the evening! Fantastic! And a very good value!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Calma. Harold and Kim were gracious enough to allow us a late check-in and we were greeted promptly at the door when we arrived. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed into the home. We were able to stay in all day and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful great room. Harold was able to give us local information for dinner and shopping. It was wonderful to be able to just relax. The breakfasts were exceptional and kept me full all day! We will definitely recommend to our friends and won't hesitate to stay again if we end up back in Bemidji.

We stayed at Villa Calma for a weekend in January 2011 with 2 other couples who are friends of ours - we had an amazing, relaxing time. The innkeepers (Harold and Kim) are incredibly helpful and friendly - they even cleaned the snow off of our cars! The house is beautiful, clean, has a great view of the lake, and is very relaxing. We felt absolutely pampered--they prepared elaborate breakfasts each morning, had a great selection of games, books and movies, were happy to give restaurant & sightseeing suggestions, and their special hot buttered rum will warm you right up after a snowy day. There is always plenty to do in the town of Bemidji no matter the season, and each room has very comfortable beds and is beautifully decorated in a charming Italian theme. You can tell how much thought & hard work Harold and Kim put into each detail of their B&Bt to make their guests feel at home!

I had a wonderful week at the Villa Calma, not only due to the lovely furnishings and comfortable rooms, but also due to the exceptional customer service provided by Mr. and Mrs Marty. I have already recommended this B & B to several friends and would happily stay there again.

Our visit at Villa Calma was absolutely delightful! Our room was perfect and the rest of the home was very welcoming. Harold and Kim were such gracious hosts. They really care about their guests and are so thoughtful with their extra touches. Also, the food was superb! We will definitely be back again!

Villa Calma is just what the name implies......a peaceful and serene getaway!! The house is beautifully furnished and obviously lovingly and painstakingly cared for!! The furnishings are beautiful and Harold and Kim couldn't be more gracious and helpful innkeepers! I would like to have seen more "traditional" breakfasts.......the sweet dishes, while wonderful, is just not something I would choose. Harold and Kim -thanks for a great making our weekend one to remember!!

This is a great place to stay! My wife and I have visited often since our first visit. The inkeepers are wonderful people and make sure each stay is just like the first. The location is beautiful as well.
