Bellaterra Bed and Breakfast

I stayed in the wonderful Borealis room from whose bath tub you can have a wonderful view over the lake. Ellen was a very friendly and nice host who always was concerned about me having a great time and also made every "extra"-request possible if being capable of it. I´m from Germany and as I was only staying for two weeks, I didn´t have that much time to explore the city entirely on my own, but through her useful tips it was very easy for me to get quickly around town and find different locations quicker. Oh and the breakfast was very delicious, too. I only can recommend staying at Bellaterra!

My roommate and I were attending a Murder Mystery party on New Year's Eve in Portland on Macadam Ave. We were looking for a place to stay within walking distance and found Bellaterra. After talking to our host Ellen, she let us stay later (due to no occupancy the next day) and offered to cook us breakfast later than normal (noon). Her generosity as a hostess was amazing. The old Victorian House had been remodeled and converted into an exquisite bed and breakfast. Ellen gave us a tour of each room upon request. She named each room with a different theme which gave each room a specific feel. I recommend this place to everyone. The hostess is amazing and the view of Mt. Hood on a clear day is spectacular.

a bonus was how close it was to the bus system and our host was able to help us find the correct bus to ride the food was delicious and convenient to our schedule

This was a fine bed and breakfast...fairly local if you have a car...but a bit pricey for accocomations and meal.

Stately old home in SW Portland just minutes from downtown and access to I-5. Beautiful room, comfortable bed and linens. Food and service was very good and we would highly recommend it to others. The pumpkin pancakes were delicious and appropriate for Halloween weekend!

Wonderful location, quiet street, clean, relaxing, felt like home.

Price was pretty low, so can't really quibble. This is a very old Victorian home which is probably undergoing gradual improvements, but you should expect the place to appear in very antique condition. I only saw my own room, which had some fun twists--the owner clearly has her own unique vision, which I enjoyed. My bed was comfortable and had everything I needed for a brief stay. The neighborhood is a bit complicated to find by car, but once you've driven the route it's not difficult. I didn't stay for breakfast.

My husband and I stayed here for our 22nd anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it. We have never been in a more beautifully decorated room especially at this price. Much attention has been paid to detail and we are sure at an expense. This is the only place we have ever stayed where there were colored sheets on the bed that felt like Egyptian cotton. And the trim in the room is a work of art. We stayed in the sunrise room. The breakfast was most ample although my husband would have liked more meat. The proprietor was very friendly. We found this place looking under "most romantic B&B's in Portland and it certainly is!

When we arrived the proprieter was there to greet us. We felt very welcomed and very at home. The B&B has been lovingly restored with great attention to detail. Close to downtown and located in nice older established neighborhood with coffe shops within walking distance. This is a real find and wont be a secret for long. Highly recommend. - 5 stars

It's not often you find a place like this. Our room here (the Woodland suite) was a rare combination of comfortable & aesthetically noteworthy. The location is favorable, the food is good and the details are charming. Everyone we met on the staff were helpful, relaxed, and very friendly. I highly recommend it.

Uniquely attractive and cozy rooms (better than the photos portray, I felt), wonderfully friendly and informative hosts, relaxed atmosphere, healthy food and a location that is central yet clear of the downtown hubbub. A great place to stay for visitors hoping to get to know Portland and it's environs. I recommend it. And I miss that river rock shower basin.....
