Residenza Bibiena - Lake View -

People were great, breakfast very good

Very noisy- road traffic continuously, difficult to sleep

Perfect location; easy to arrive by car and a parking space directly opposite. In the historic centre but also right by the lake. The hosts were welcoming, the rooms were spotless and comfortable. There was some noise from the road, but that is to be expected given the location.

Nothing - all good

The very friendly owner greeted us. The room had a modern bathroom and a comfy bed. It was spacious and clean and had a view of the lake. The breakfast was delicious. We were able to leave our bags there after checking out. It is in a great location in a lovely little town with some interesting sights and walks.

The breakfast was delicious, with a great choice. And the bedroom was spacious & comfortable, and importantly, the staff were very friendly!

Nothing! It was all fabulous!

Kind and helpful staff who gave us a quiet room which was spacious and clean. Good breakfast with excellent fresh fruit and other lovely options which we really appreciated. We were also happy that we could leave our luggage for a while next morning.

A tiny thing - I don’t think we should be putting the towels in plastic ideally.

The following aspects have been appreciated: - Staff - Big and cleaned bedroom and bathroom - Services in the bedroom and bathroom were good (minibar, hairdryer,…)

Nothing to mention among the negative aspects.

First of all please note this is a B&B, not a hotel - but in an ideal location for visiting Mantova. I was given an apartment at the first floor, facing the lake. (Please note there is an ongoing building site right in front, so beware the construction noise during working days.) The apartment was very good in size but somehow underfurnished - some shelves were missing from the wardrobe, and a small table would be useful in the hallway. I cannot fault the cleanliness, and I was pleasantly surprised by the daily room service, given it's a B&B. I also appreciated the fairly large minbar.

Breakfast - it's what is called an "Italian breakfast", so beware if you prefer a hearty, full breakfast to start your day. Then, and mainly, is the fact the elderly lady that manages breakfast can be rather impolite, and it's not that she does not speak English well, as she understands the language well. Guests are rudely instructed where to stay in the very small reception that also serves as breakfast room, and not allowed to choose their own food! That may be a remanence of pandemic restrictions, enforced dictatorially, but is really displeasing in the morning. Not only is the variety at breakfast limited, they run out of goods - "we don't have another cream croissant" - they had only one! Again, maybe it's not necessarily the scarcity of breakfast but the attitude of the elderly hostess. Other things include only Italian channels on TV, and the mattress that I felt uncomfortable.

My room with a separate private bathroom was very attractive, spacious and clean. The staff were welcoming and helpful The breakfast was great. The location was very good, a few minutes walk from the center and close to the lake. I fully recommend it. (Try to visit the amazing Theatre Bibiena across the road)
