B&B Il Quadrifoglio

The riding side is just as impressive as the B&B. The stables and paddocks are really comfortable, and the instructors are highly trained. The B&B itself is beautiful and tucked into greenery.

The pool is the real treat, set in a remarkable natural landscape near lovely horses, with rolling hills all around. It feels like nature is wrapping you up. The place has an elegant, genuine feel, and it's spotless, with care taken over the details without being pretentious. The staff are kind, discreet, and attentive. Paradise, really. What more is there to say?

We came as a family with two young children, and the safety issues were alarming: loose electrical wires, a pool with no proper barrier, and large dogs roaming freely. On the first night, the breaker tripped when we switched on the oven. No one was around to help, and the number we had for the manager was out of service. The room's facilities didn't help. The shower was so tiny an adult couldn't stand upright, and the kitchen had no pots, pans, or even a dish towel. There wasn't even a bottle of water in the fridge to welcome us. The pool might have made up for things, but it wasn't maintained, and the owner's dog was in it with us. Cleanliness was questionable too. Everything was dusty and smelled musty, as if time had stopped 30 years ago. Breakfast was packets of cookies on the table, industrial juice, vacuum-packed sliced bread, and croissants wrapped in plastic. If you're hoping for Piedmontese food, look elsewhere. I can't understand the place's current rating. On the last day, the owner yelled at us because it was 10 a.m. and we hadn't left yet. It looks idyllic on paper, but the owner seems to cut corners everywhere, and our stay was disastrous. Avoid it.

The rooms have a vintage feel, and there's a stable where you can see the horses. It's a beautiful, peaceful spot surrounded by greenery. In spring and summer, the pool makes it even more relaxing.
