bella vita

Bella Vita, also known as Gusto Bella Vita, is a condominium community of 160 coach-home residences set across approximately 58 acres in Central Naples. Located off Whippoorwill Lane near Pine Ridge Road and I-75, the community combines Mediterranean-inspired architecture with lakes, preserve areas and mature landscaping. Its relatively low-density layout and small residential buildings give Bella Vita a more neighborhood-like atmosphere than a traditional condominium complex.

Residences are arranged in low-rise buildings and offer spacious two- and three-bedroom layouts, with many homes providing approximately 1,700 to 1,900 square feet of living space. First- and second-floor configurations are available, and residences include attached garages and screened lanais. Depending on building and orientation, homes may overlook lakes, preserves or landscaped areas. Because Bella Vita is an established community, individual residences can vary considerably in interior updates, hurricane protection, finishes and overall condition.

Bella Vita offers a straightforward combination of condominium convenience and residential-style living. The community provides a clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool and spa without the scale of a large resort or country club development. Its central location also provides convenient access to shopping, dining, healthcare, I-75, Downtown Naples, North Naples and Gulf beaches.
