  : Breakfast was a classic continental style buffet, with bread, pastries, fresh fruits, ham / salami. To drink there was also a wide selection of fruit juices, as well as the option of tea or coffee. The breakfast room itself was also fantastic. Corrado and the other staff were wonderfully kind and helpful, and always smiling. The pizzeria in the cellar of the B&B serves absolutely phenomenal pizza, definitely the best we had in Bellagio, and it was such a relief to have something right at our doorstep that was of such quality. We even did "takeout" one night, and brought the pizzas up to our room -- on checking my receipt, I realised that from the time I placed the order, to the time I got back to the room with the food, only SEVEN minutes had passed! The pizza uses real sourdough too, and even the most basic "Margherita" is extremely memorable.
  : The only downside for this place for us was the location. Google says it's a 30 minute walk into the town, which is true, but it ignores the gradient of the climb, and the poor quality of the old cobbled path. If you can, I would recommend renting car for the trip, because we found it impossible to get a taxi / uber, and the nearest bus comes only 3-5 times per day, with the last one returning around 8 pm. This meant after every meal in the town, we were faced with a long, tough walk up the hill, with plenty of opportunities to roll your ankle, especially if you were wearing something open-toed. This combined with the temperatures during our stay (pretty much always hovering around 30 Celsius) made it practically impossible for us to say, go for a swim in the lake in the afternoon, and then come back up to change for dinner. Thankfully, on arrival, the wonderful Corrado was kind enough to pick us and our bags up from the ferry in his car; but as he happened to be out when we checked out, the walk down with our bags was pretty intense, and certainly not the most relaxing way to end a holiday. We are both under 30 and relatively active, but this walk will definitely linger in our memory of the trip!

  : Booking sold us a room with the balcony ! Received a room with the window .The bed is a little hard .Bath tub, little uncomfortable to shower in , need to be very careful not to fall when getting out of the tub.

  : The owner and the staf are very nice and friendly, the villa is very beautiful, the breakfast is good and the cappuccino is amazing. The rooms are very spacious and clean.
  : We only noticed this because we were travelling with a baby, otherwise it wouldn't have been an issue. So the only thing we didn't like was that the rooms are not well soundproofed, so we could hear what was happening on the hallway. That is definitely because everything is kept and preserved as it was in the past, which also brings the charm to the villa.

  : The Bed and Breakfast was a lovely older home with charm. the room was quite large and comfortable, providing a balcony, storage room and a large bathroom. The inside of the hotel was very clean, and the cleaning staff were very nice, and friendly.
  : The location was too far from the center of town, it is advertised as being 0.3 miles from the center ( 3 city blocks) but maybe in a straight line, NOT a true walk. the walk is dangerous ( not from a crime point, it is very safe) , but you are walking (especially in night) along a road with no sidewalk for a few long stretches on a narrow two lane road. This walk would be impossible with luggage going to-and from the Ferries. For this reason, would not recommend staying here (remember there are no taxis, uber etc. unless you drive here and will use your car to transfer you anywhere you wish to go). We visited in late September, likely the end of the season so the management must have been getting prepared to close for the off season, this reflected in the way the outside was maintained, the outdoor lights were not working (this meant walking with your phone flashlight on to see where you are going. It is perplexing to understand why an owner would not change the lightbulbs on the outside walkways. Finally, there was a safe box in the room, but you needed a card to access this, and there was no one at the reception desk to provide assistance.

  : Large room not really suitable for two friends as it had one double bed and only a narrow bed in a side annex with no curtains or blinds for the other person.
  : One unpleasant member of staff (owner?)

  : Really comfy and relaxing stay at a beautiful hillside villa close to Bellagio. We enjoyed the garden with pool, the view as well as the short walking distance to the beach and center. + The Pizza from Corrado is the best (at least) in town!
  : The breakfast is - besides some prosciutto - only sweet stuff, but it's Italian Breakfast and the Cappuccino was great! Nevertheless: Please use glasses instead of plastic cups and reduce plastic wherever possible. Grazie!
