I have stayed at this property 4 times in the past 10 years. It is really clean, comfortable and well kept! It is close to the Seaside Drive with a couple of good restaurants nearby . It is wonderfully safe . All the amenities including a nice little dip pool to cool off after a day out. AND the breakfast is good! It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for!

Villa Boscardi was the perfect place for us to stay for our brief time in Belize City. Owner and staff were extremely friendly and extraordinarily helpful, including arranging transportation. Our room was comfortable and breakfast was good. Villa Boscardi is gated and we felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend!

First, don't be deceived by the name. These are not villas, it's a 2 floor bed and breakfast. It has 8 rooms (4 rooms on each floor). Arriving at a bed and breakfast when you expected a villa can be very jarring. It's a cute place, clean (Paulina does an excellent job), but I think the place can use a few upgrades. I always check the bed for bugs when I arrive anywhere...this place didn't have bedbugs, but they do have very tiny ants crawling all over the sink and sorry to say, they were on my bed. When I saw any of them, I swatted them. But, it is such a nuisance because you KNOW that they're gonna crawl on you while you're sleeping. The complimentary breakfast in the morning is a nice touch. Smokeez is around the corner and has YUMMY food! BELIZE sign is a 10 minute walk away in a cute park.

Hello Naomi, Thank you for your nice review. Let me address the misunderstanding. We are named Villa Boscardi, bed and breakfast. Villa Boscardi is coming from the Italian name of Boscardi's House or Home. I am Italian. You see, trying to be exotic,can bring a misunderstanding! Our apologies! For the ants on the bed!! We live in the Tropics and we know how hard it is to have a house free of any insect! So we request our guests not to bring any food in the bedrooms. We do have a nice dinning area, a lovely terrasse and tables around the plunge pool so our guests can find a beautiful spot to enjoy their food without attracting ants in the bedroom. We do constantly spray or use baking soda to keep the ants away!!! But no food in the bedroom will avoid the paragraph above. Appreciate Belize and all the beautiful, wild, untouched, natural life and nature, it has to offer. Best Regards.
