    Lack of communication of check in details. The staff do not answer messages. Guests should receive this info as soon as cancellation is no longer available, sent as a message rather than us having to call for it. For visitors from abroad the need to call is a problem. The whole building is wrapped up like Christo has come by. So there's no natural light inside. WiFi signal is weak.

    Really clean, lovely room with ensuite, desk area, nice bed linen. Other than lack of natural light it was like a hotel room. Kitchen available where you can make tea/coffee. As others have mentioned, the lady who serves breakfast is very nice. The location is ok, but is up a long hill. Next time I'd choose a place closer to the rail station.

    No reception. No one there to let me in. Had to get locals to phone owner. A code to open front gate would have been nice. Rosie who served breakfast was wonderful.

    Breakfast fine. Half hour walk to train station but I knew that.

    Very kind staff, very helpful also with last minute booking, we could stay overnight with our dog and they offered me a gluten free sweet bun in the morning (I am coeliac) and chocolate croissant for my husband.

    I did not see any person when I arrived. Only until next day I sow another human.

    Disappointed with this booking.

    This was the worst facility we booked during our Italian trip. The facility was not in a good shape because the building was under some sort of construction. The private bathroom described in the booking's website was not really "private". There were two bathrooms being assigned to different guest rooms. We had to pass the public area to reach the one that was assigned to us. We were given a key to open/lock your bathroom, but we fount that the two bathrooms actually use the same kay, so there was really nothing to prevent other guest to open and use the bathroom assigned to us. In addition, the host was not easy to communicate with. We were not given an instruction about how to enter the facility. When we arrived, we couldn't get in. We sent a couple of messages but received no response. We eventually made a phone call to reach the host. Breakfast was included but only prepackaged croissant and snacks were provided.

    Room was in a fairly good size and clean, A private parking place was provided.

    The B&B is located in a rather shabby suburban area. The rooms available for booking do not have en-suite facilities. The breakfast was poor and the building is currently undergoing external refurbishment, which means that it is surrounded by external scaffolding covered by plastic sheeting that does not even allow the windows to be opened. What I dispute is that this information did not appear on the Booking website, so I found the description on Booking completely misleading.

    i didn't like anything about the B&B

    We booked a room with private bathroom. The bathroom was outside the room and what was called ‘private’ because you need a key in order to enter, however any other room had access (same key opened other bathroom as well) The breakfast was really bad, only coffee and 1 croissant as an option

    Wifi in the room
