BELLA VISTA
Bella Vista is an Italianate Villa built on the banks of the Mighty Murray river in 1999. It was the private home of Anna and Domenico Carazza whose families originated in southern Italy. Their combined vision contributed to their success in business and also in building this unique home.
The Villa is the centerpiece of a classic garden designed by Paul Bangay, complete with his trademark design features including walled “ rooms” ,bronze fountains and reflective ponds. Extensive hedging rose plantings,a cool cedar forest , orchard trees and seasonal vegetable garden complete the picture.
Further amenities include a large terrace riverside pool and cliff top spa overlooking the Murray, plus spacious lawn and terrace areas, and indoors, a billiard suite and stunning 1920s formal dining room for those black tie occasions.
Bella Vista is also central to a range of local attractions including boutique wineries such as the Gold medal Trentham estate winery on the river. Restaurants abound to suit all tastes. Stefanos 2 hat cellar restaurant is world renown and may require forward bookings.
