Belsize Villas

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places that claim to be luxury, but Belsize Villas actually delivers on that promise without feeling stuffy about it. First thing that hits you when you walk in — it’s this perfect balance of elegant and livable, like staying at your incredibly well-traveled aunt’s townhouse, if your aunt happened to have impeccable taste and a serious budget for interior design.

The location is honestly brilliant, and I mean that in the best possible way. You’re tucked away on one of those gorgeous tree-lined streets that makes you feel like you’ve discovered some secret corner of London, but you’re actually just a quick walk from Belsize Park station. I spent most mornings grabbing coffee at the little café around the corner (locals will know the one I’m talking about), then wandering through Primrose Hill when the crowds hadn’t hit yet. The staff here gets that — they’re not pushy with recommendations, but when you ask, they’ll tell you exactly which path up the hill has the best views and what time to go for photos.

What really sets this place apart though is how they handle the details that actually matter when you’re traveling. The rooms are spacious enough that you don’t feel like you’re living out of a suitcase, and honestly, the beds are some of the most comfortable I’ve encountered in London — none of that rock-hard mattress nonsense some boutique places think passes for luxury. The bathrooms have proper water pressure (you’d be surprised how many five-star places mess this up), and there’s actually enough counter space for all your stuff. I also loved that they don’t blast the heating — you can control the temperature in your room, which seems obvious but isn’t always the case. Parking was surprisingly easy too, though I’d still recommend checking with them ahead of time if you’re driving.

The whole vibe is just… relaxed sophistication, I guess? Like, yes, this is clearly an upscale place with a 9.9 rating that it’s definitely earned, but no one’s hovering over you or making you feel like you need to whisper in the lobby. I actually ended up chatting with other guests pretty naturally, which doesn’t always happen at more formal hotels. The breakfast situation is fantastic — they do this spread that feels more like what you’d find at a really good local spot than typical hotel fare, and they’ll happily accommodate dietary restrictions without making a big production of it.

If I’m being completely honest, the only minor thing I’d mention is that because it’s such a lovely, quiet location, you might hear the occasional late-night reveler heading home from Camden or Hampstead, but it’s London — that’s just part of the charm, and it was never enough to actually wake me up. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to friends who want somewhere special without the pretension? Without hesitation.

Reviews

• Brydee from United Kingdom – 2 October 2024 (10/10)

  The views were incredible. The whole villa is extremely well thought out and comfortable.
  Hanya, Dobrila and Nikola were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

• Stephen from United Kingdom – 2 September 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent space and facilities like the infinity pool and hot tub on the spacious terrace . Think it’s new this year and really well maintained and cleaned. Views were exceptional.
  
  What could be improved: Could have had better instructions on the use of the facilities like boiler switch that we turned off as thought it was a light switch. Also the towels, linen were changed regularly and no need to buy toilet paper as was replenished. So just a bit better communication of what the facilities that are included.

• Vicki from United Kingdom – 16 July 2024 (10/10)

  The villa is beautiful with amazing views , a huge amount of space and so clean
  
  What could be improved: It is a little far out from the centre of budva but the owner was so helpful with arranging taxi numbers for us

• Iva from United Kingdom – 6 May 2024 (10/10)

  Absolutely wonderful place to stay!! Everything is new, a stunning space with incredible views, so tastefully & thoughtfully laid out. It was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were great & very helpful . We would definitely recommend it to anyone

• Natalia from Russia – 18 September 2024 (10/10)

  Вилла абсолютно новая. Новая мебель, техника, бассейн, сауна, джакузи. Все было очень чисто. Вообще на вилле есть все, можно никуда не выезжать) все содержится на очень хорошем уровне. Парень и женщина, которые смотрят за Виллой очень отзывчивы и полезны. Четкое соотношение цены и качества. В каждой комнате есть свой сан узел. В общем, первый раз фото полностью соответствуют действительности. Нам понравилось абсолютно все, за исключением совета хозяйки виллы посмотреть контакт ресторана в Гугле, когда мы попросили забронировать его для нас. Быть может это не входит в ее компетенции… Но молодой человек, который смотрит за Виллой, все для нас сделал. И помог еще не с одним вопросом. Все, что касается Виллы и нашего проживания на ней, было великолепно!

• Michael from Switzerland – 21 July 2024 (10/10)

  Die Lage ist traumhaft! Die Vermietung hat uns nach Anfrage mit einem Elektrogrill versorgt!
  Sehr unkomplizierte und nette Vermieter! Brandneue Villas, sehr gut gebaut!
  
  What could be improved: Meine Frau wurde von einem Hund in der Nachbarschaft gebissen und wir mussten leider früher abreisen!
  Die Kosten für die verbleibenden Tage wurden uns erlassen.
  Von der Mitnahme von Hunden raten wir ganz klar ab!
