Bellasera Review

This place is just far enough "off 5th" to be away from the shopping-and-dining foot traffic and noise but close enough for convenience. Right off a Tuscany postcard, it feels quite villalike with its red-tile roofs and burnt-ochre stucco. The privately owned studios and suites, with earthy hues and terra-cotta tiles, huddle three-stories high around a beautifully tiled pool, fountain, and courtyard. Private cabanas line the pool on two sides, and Zizi restaurant flows out onto the patio on another. The studios have in-room whirlpool tubs with plantation shutters opening onto the master bedroom so you can watch TV from your bubble bath.
