Patio Bellavista — Local services in Providencia

………As the name says it all “Patio Bella-Vista” Courtyard of beautiful view. It is a corner walled in courtyard just at the foot of Cerro San Cristobal with two entrances one each in a different road.

In any case, there are other options too where I got helped. However, Ive eaten here a number of times now and I have to say that nearly all restaurants here charge high prices and dont really give anything great in return. It is a bit of a...

Contemporary modern and chic shopping mall.👍 Loads of eateries, pubs, lounges and restaurants to cater to all kinds of taste buds and age groups.
