We only had a 3-night stay (and regretted that we hadn`t booked longer as we left) for our 1st vacation to the Scottsdale area, before moving on to other regions in the sourthwest. The condo was well-equipped and laid-out. Everything was as advertised in their listing and it quickly felt like home. We had to do some work while on the road and the Wi-Fi Internet service in the condo was excellent....usually a big disappointment at most other condos we`ve been to. The owners were quick with responses & solutions to the few queries we had. The Bella Terra is a beautiful, picturesque, very well-maintained facility. We`d debated staying closer to downtown, but in the end were glad we chose here for this 1st time. The grounds were golf-course green and the pool featured several towering palm trees surrounding the area. Soaking in the hot tub and gazing out over the pool area - especially at night - got us into a super relaxing vacation mode. There are some nice walking areas around the complex. Shopping and restaurants were nearby via car (loved the owners recommendation of Z'Tejas for a tasty, casual meal, and Fry`s was our go-to grocery store). Downtown Scottsdale was an easy, direct 15-20 minute drive and we enjoyed afternoon drinks by the water at Tapas Papa Frita, after strolling the streets and shops. We didn`t have the time to check-out many adventures in the Scottsdale area, but did spend a half-day at the nearby McDowell Sonoran Preserve, and thoroughly enjoyed our first taste of desert hiking. Overall, a great short trip and we definitely hope to return someday.
