The History of Bella Collina

Bella Collina < - Click on Title for photos

Bella Collina, or "Beautiful Hill", is a log home that sits atop a red rock hill above the fog and with a breathtaking view toward Yosemite National Park.

Built in 1991, and located between the Sierra gold rush towns of Sonora & Columbia State Park. The main house required a Montana builder 6 months to complete.

Small details were born from those days camping on the property. Skylights positioned to expose Full Moon evenings inside the home, rows of 75 yr. old Canyon Oaks provide a wind screen for the south end of the property, southern exposures lends to cozy evenings with plenty of warmth.

The property was sold after 7 years to a local real estate investor who used it as a week-end retreat for clients and friends. In 2000 is was purchased by the present owners. Casa Di Amore was completed in the fall of 2001.

The 2 acre property is extremely private, with no neighbors in view, allowing you unparalleled peace and quiet as you unwind from the hectic pace of home and work.

Many of our guests claim they never sleep more deeply or restfully as when they visit Bella Collina!
