Villa Gagliardetta

We had a really good holiday, with plenty of space for 12 people, a lovely pool, and nice sights close by. The owners were super friendly. Highly recommended, and thanks to Pjetro and Davide.

The best part of this B&B was Mama, who looked after us and did everything she could to make us feel welcome. The house has belonged to the proprietors' family for 150 years and has a traditional Italian style. It's in a quiet area, with an above-ground pool in the garden's parking area.

I was disappointed to find out it was a room inside a house. I hadn't realized that beforehand.

I stayed there three years ago, and the experience has stuck with me. We booked what was advertised as two rooms, but it was really one open space set up to sleep five. The owner kept saying they were two rooms, though there were no doors or other partitions. We're in the countryside, with no mosquito nets. Opposite a tiny bathroom, a French window with clear glass opens into the living room, so other guests could see into our room. The much-touted pool is just an outdoor hobby pool. The large room has one air conditioner, which couldn't cope with the summer heat with five people in a building without thermal insulation. There was no TV in the room. Breakfast was discount-store snacks, in very small quantities. The much-touted car park was just a place on the dusty road to the house. If guests parked badly, neighbors would honk to get them to move their cars, at any hour. I could list more absurdities, but you can discover for yourself the thrill of a campsite marketed as a top-notch B&B.
