bonito, adjective:
pretty

You’ll come across bonito a lot in Spain. It applies to people and things.

Tiene una cara muy bonita.
She has a very pretty face.

el pueblo más bonita de Andalucía

You often apply it to things and houses, and the translation in that case is nice:

Le gusta comer cosas bonitas.
She likes eating nice things.

Tienen una casa muy bonita.
They have a lovely or very nice house.
