Charming Country Escape Close to Canandaigua’s Live Music Scene

Nestled in the Finger Lakes countryside, The Bella Ella Bed and Breakfast offers a cozy, historic retreat with peaceful vibes.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet, restorative atmosphere after a high-energy night out. Located just under 4 miles from Sonnenberg Gardens and a short drive to Canandaigua’s main entertainment spots, it’s close enough to the action while staying peacefully removed. Flexible check-in from 4:00 PM gives you time to settle in before a show, and it's easy to catch a ride back from the venue with local cab services or rideshare apps.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a homey, shared space with outdoor hangouts
- Solo travelers wanting a peaceful, safe, and scenic place to unwind
- Couples making a romantic concert weekend of it
- Fans who need a break from the crowd and a good night’s sleep

Food and Drink Options

There’s an on-site coffee shop perfect for a morning pick-me-up. While there’s no full restaurant, guests can use the barbecue facilities in warmer months, and there are plenty of local dining spots just a short drive away. The fridge and coffee maker in each room make it easy to keep snacks and late-night bites on hand. Breakfast is served — a great bonus after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

Though the property itself is quiet, you’re just minutes from downtown Canandaigua's bars, taverns, and breweries that often host live music. After the show, head back for a more intimate vibe with friends around the outdoor fireplace.

What People Say

Guests rave about the serene setting, friendly hosts, and comfortable rooms. Many love the peaceful vibe and the charm of staying in a historic home. The outdoor spaces, especially the gardens and sun terrace, get high marks for relaxation. Cleanliness and attention to detail are commonly praised.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that it’s a bit of a drive from downtown nightlife, so having a car or arranging a ride is helpful. Also, the 10:30 AM checkout can feel early after a late concert night, so plan accordingly.

The Bottom Line

For a quiet, charming retreat within easy reach of Canandaigua’s concert venues, The Bella Ella Bed and Breakfast hits all the right notes.
