Villa Boscardi

Top choice in Belize City


Set in a secure middle-class suburb, this guesthouse and its charming hosts will smooth away any stresses that Belize City's rougher edges might induce. The eight rooms are large and elegant, built with Belizean materials and decorated with fresh, bold colors and prints. Some rooms have kitchen facilities, while guests of the other rooms have access to a shared kitchen.

Breakfasts of eggs and pastries are served in the cozy sitting area, and in the backyard there's a newly installed pool/Jacuzzi with color-changing lights. The guesthouse is about 4 miles northwest of the city center, but there are at least five restaurants within walking distance and it's safe to walk there.
