Hotel Bellinzona Daylesford

Stopped in for a late night drink. Espresso Martinis all round. Delicious... It was quiet with only a few having drinks, it was a Monday night after all. The room has many moody little spaces for a drink, comfy overstuffed leather couches and chairs. Tastefully decorated in dark colours. I loved it and I'm looking forward to staying at the hotel my next trip to Hepburn.

Had dinner at The Virgin Restaurant. Fantastic staff. Delicious food. Wonderful service. Amazing experience. It's been a long time since we have had such a pleasant experience for dinner.

Overall we enjoyed our stay but I do have some feedback. I found some of the staff a bit abrupt, however some were amazing. The property itself is gorgeous and has a lot of potential. But the decor and artwork let it down massively. The abstract artwork of naked women was excessive, it really doesn’t need to line every wall and take up every corner. Pair this with the dingy/dark setting and it gave off the impression of an “adult” venue. Mix up the decor/large amount of bulky leather furniture/ dark lighting and it would be a faultless venue. I will add that I didn’t feel like the executive suite was worth the price point and was a bit disappointed. I do see that weekend rates are higher, so for anyone looking to book. I’d advise to go during the week as rates are a lot lower or the same but include dinner/drinks packages.
