Villa Cantoni

It is an interesting historic building in a pleasant little town.

The door to our room had a lock but it was not very secure due to the style of door. Beds were not comfortable. We turned on the jets in the spa tub and a lot of dirt came out. Could not enjoy the courtyard outside due to many, many mosquitos.

Good location. Helpful staff. Attractive building. Gardens.

Had a very big garten

No kitchen

The location is a disaster and there is no breakfast.

The pictures on the website have nothing to do with the reality. This is a hardly accessible place (many stairs!) without proper windows at the upper floor- the cadastral plan surely does not have the attic as habitable- and no common lounge at all, not even a hall. One needs to open gate and several doors in and out. The village is the most depressed in I have seen in Northern Italy.

I stayed at the Villa Cantoni while hiking along the Via Francigena. I found it a convenient and comfortable B&B, located in a huge renovated villa, with a large garden. My single room was on the small side, but clean and well-equipped and the hostess was helpful and welcoming.

This Villa is a delightful surprise, a wrought-iron gate located on a village high street opens up to a stunning house, beautifully preserved complete with frescoes and a very large and lovely garden. Its history is with a leading academic Carlo Cantoni, who lived and died there and whose studies included philosophers such as Kant. Our room was huge with lovely original decorative details, nicely styled with drapes and a large bathroom with a very welcome jacuzzi after long travels. It is not a bed and breakfast but more of a residence though Giovanna, who is responsible for rescuing and restoring the building, is a wonderful host and was always at hand to meet and talk to us about the area, history and to make recommendations. It was a lovely stay and we would like to return.

The Villa Cantoni is located in an old building in the center of the city. It is about 10 minutes by walk from the train station and near by a lot of good restaurant. Very big room and also the bathroom very big. Thank You to the staff for the nice stay. Really quiet place.
