CoGoGo welcomes to the market La Bella Vita which stands in the historic centre of Hitchin, offering a unique Italian dining experience. Established in 1978, this is a Hertfordshire Restaurant & Hotel with a difference. Our client is now looking forward to retirement.
Its traditional setting and Italian charm provide an ambience which our client firmly believes cannot be found elsewhere and he calls it a Hitchin fine-dining gem! The delicious menu is heavily influenced by our clients Venetian roots, using only the very best fresh ingredients. Our client and his team will go out of their way to ensure that the customers have an Italian meal to remember and become one of La Bella Vita's many regulars.
The restaurant has a seating capacity of up to 120 and also has an area for conferences, parties etc with a fully licensed bar and stage. There are seasonal and A la Carte menus and the restaurant specialises in fine Italian wines.
In addition, La Bella Vita also offers something very special in accommodation having 28 en suite rooms, all finished to a very high standard. These offer Italian elegance combined with modern comforts. Ideal for a business stay in Hitchin, or for a romantic Hitchin break, La Bella Vita's Hotel provides guests with luxury at a very affordable price. The rooms are fitted with oak furniture, many have 4 poster beds, which were purchased from Bylaws furniture makers. 8 of the rooms are situated within a new wing of the hotel.
The rooms are let out privately, to workers but also via the local authority giving an occupancy of circa 75 – 80% throughout the year. The hotel is rated 3* and has rooms at circa £65 per night.
The business is being sold with the website www.bellavitahotel.com, the restaurant has 4* reviews on TripAdvisor from 167 reviewers, and the hotel is rated 4.5* on Booking.com from 250 reviewers.
