Guest Reviews
- Vincenzo (10/5): Ci rivedremo presto - La tranquillità e l’atmosfera storica originale
- Lieselotte (7/5): Goed verblijf met goede kamers. Paar dingen kunnen beter. - De schone kamers en de goeie badkamer en dat ze de kamers schoonmaakte. Het gebruik van de keuken kostte tien euro per dag. Dat is best veel.
Er is geen airco. De kamer waar wij zaten zat hoog en had maar een raam (geen doorluchtmogelijkheid, dus moeilijk koel te krijgen). Een ventilator om savonds door te waaien zal al fijn zijn.
Bed is te klein voor mensen die langer dan 1,85 zijn.
De buitenruimte kan mooier.
- Mauro (8/5): -
- marcel (9/5): -
- Dmy3o (9/5): - The location is very nice, calm and authentic. Nice interior design. Cosy, clean, nice and stylish room. All was good and we enjoyed our stay, but the breakfast was a bit disappointing :) Breakfast was very basic. Be careful about "Italian breakfast" It is just ☕+🥐 😊
- Mattia (7/5): - Posizione top in centro a Mel, comodo parcheggio. Struttura molto bella e suggestiva, camera ampia, pulita. Letto comodissimo. Non si può regolare in autonomia la temperatura della camera, deve farlo il proprietario su richiesta. Quando siamo entrati avevamo freddo e abbiamo dovuto aspettare. Inoltre su booking è specificato che il barbecue è a pagamento, mentre sull'uso della cucina non è specificato nulla pur costando 10 euro al giorno. Peccato queste pecche perché il resto è molto bello e funzionale
- Paul (8/5): -
- Vera (10/5): -
- Wilhelm (9/5): Überraschend gut. - Die Zimmer sind schön und es ist alles frisch renoviert. Der Aufenthalts/ Frühstücksraum ist ebenfalls toll gemacht. Die Kommunikation mit den Inhabern ist ebenfalls sehr gut und es ist alles reibungslos gelaufen. Es war alles super.
- NURIA (8/5): -
- Serge (9/5): -
- Ichim (10/5): -
- ALMUDENA (9/5): Marvellouse - The house Everything
- Michela (8/5): -
- Enikő (10/5): -
- Alban (10/5): On a passé un très bon séjour. Le logement est loin des gros centres touristiques des dolomites et c’est pas plus mal. - Propre, bon petit dej, calme
- Pablo (7/5): Muy bonito pero oculta información relevante - El B&B es realmente como sale en las fotos, muy bonito, elegante y limpio. El desayuno estaba bien, aunque el horario era bastante limitado, de 7 a 9. A la hora de hacer la reserva no se informó adecuadamente del horario para hacer el check-out, aparecía de 01:00 a 00:00, por lo que entendimos que habría flexibilidad. Pues el día antes de llegar recibimos un mensaje diciendo que el check-out tenía que hacerse forzosamente antes de las 10:00.
Nosotros teníamos el dia antes una boda y esperábamos poder estar en la habitación hasta cerca de las 12:00 y luego coger un taxi a feltre para coger el tren (donde la primera conexión a Padua para coger un frecciarossa a nuestro siguiente destino era pasadas las 13:00) así que no nos hizo ninguna gracia tener que estar más horas de las previstas en Feltre con dos horas menos de descanso.
A mayores el dueño exige que abandones la habitación de 10 a 12 si quieres que sea limpiada, algo que tampoco se informó previamente y a nosotros nos resultaba molesto por el horario de la boda (preparativos, etc), así que hubiéramos querido saber todo esto de antemano, seguramente hubiéramos reservado en otro alojamiento.
Además, tuvimos que pagar la tasa de estancia, que no es una cantidad relevante pero debería haber sido indicada a la hora de hacer la reserva, y además lo exigía en metálico, lo cuál es molesto si eres de otro país que no tiene euros e intentas pagar todo con tarjeta para evitar sacar dinero del cajero (que tampoco parece haber cajeros en Mel, por cierto).
La WiFi iba y venía en el cuarto, y la velocidad era baja, creo que debe ser un ADSL. Además el cuarto era muy caluroso y el ventilador ayudaba algo pero se hacía difícil dormir bien
- Michel (10/5): - Heel mooi ingerichte accomodatie, lekker en voldoende ontbijt.
- Jannis (10/5): - Ein wundervolles B&B, in dem Alt und Neu harmonisch aufeinandertreffen. Liebevoll eingerichtet, top ausgestattet und mit vielen charmanten Details. Das Frühstück war köstlich – wir waren rundum glücklich und zufrieden.
- Valérie (10/5): Peacefully located B&B with all necessary amenities, close to the Dolomites. - We found the rooms spacious, as well as the bathroom. The beds (mattresses), but especially the (in our opinion) ergonomic pillows, provided us with the restful sleep we needed.
Plenty of towels were provided, along with soaps, shampoo, and other essentials — nothing was missing.
There was ample parking in a quiet, dead-end street.
The kitchen is very spacious and thoughtfully equipped, just like at home. Although it's shared with other guests, we didn't experience any inconvenience.
You'll find everything you need to prepare your own meals.
Breakfast was generous and varied, including a coffee machine, citrus juicer, croissants, fresh fruit, cereals, milk, yoghurt, pear/peach juice — more than enough to start the day off right. There was really nothing about the B&B that disappointed us.
Tip: Maybe just add some lights on the terrace 😄
- Elisa (10/5): This property was very clean, had a wonderful view from the outside, and close to the center with historic church, coffe - Great location and beautiful view right outside the property. We enjoyed the fireplace and living roomom area. This trip was for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary, and we were able to book all three rooms. It was alll wonderful. Our taxi driver had a hard time with the directions to get there, but other than that. It was wonderful:
- Piotr (9/5): Superb -
- Marie (9/5): Superb - Great place, super cozy and modern at the same time.
The owner also does exceptional pizza from thursday onwards in the evening. The best we have eaten in Italy. Just a heads up that the bathroom wall doesn't go all the way to the ceiling. You still have your privacy and all, it's just something we couldn't see in the pictures.
- Kamil (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay in with the whole family. Very close to beautiful Dolomites but also great spot to visit Verona or Venice (only 1,5-2h drive). Breakfasts were very good, with variety of options. Il Fontego is a place worth returning to.
- Koraljka (9/5): Pleasantly surprised by the appearance, cleanliness of the room and space. Just keep going - Beautiful space, room and bathroom. Much more than expected.
The breakfast concept is excellent. Food offer is very diverse, from fresh fruit and croissants to the possibility of cooking eggs or scrambled eggs. The bed could be better. Plastic covers bother me, and the bed itself is not comfortable
The only problem is the dog that barks all the time at night in the neighborhood.
- Ernesta (10/5): a great place to stay - cosy, well-appointed hotel. good breakfast with excellent coffee. friendly staff.
- Rj80 (8/5): Very good - Nice place, great room, near the main Piazza. The wall of the bathroom did not reach the top, so basically it was open, in one space with the room. It was a bit uncomfortable.
The wifi was not reaching the room. There was no closet or other place to put our clothes.
- Panagiotis (10/5): Very comfortable and relaxing, perfect for a couple - Very neat room and the rest area was also very relaxing. The hosts were kind and took care of us without making us feel their presence. The location is very good with the Dolomites highligts in a bit more than 1 hour away. The breakfast could may have some more options with local cheese or deli.
- Aliaksandra (10/5): Stunning stay - One of the best places we have stayed at. The most beautiful restored old Italian house. Rooms are very cosy and beautifully decorated. The bed and the pillows were very comfortable. And I mention it because very often while traveling that’s one of the things I struggle with. The hosts were helpful and kind.
Also you can see Dolomites from the windows of the room. We were blown away.
The house itself is situated in a small, very old and cute Italian town Mel. I’d definitely recommend spending some time there! Nothing. Everything was perfect!
- Tabata (9/5): Superb - Wonderful place! The location was perfect for visiting Mel and the surrounding area. Free parking. The building has been very carefully restored. The breakfast was good and guests can use the well-equipped kitchen facilities.
- Katherine (7/5): Its a great place to stay but let down by a few details - The location was perfect for visiting Mel and the surrounding area and there was ample free parking avaialable. The building has been very carefully restored and the look of the place is wonderful . The breakfast was execellent and guests can use the first class kitchen facilities if they want to . The staircases have no handrails and anyone with mobility issues ( myself ) or small children would find them a challenge . I asked and was told it was the choice of the architect but it meant I had to ask for help when checking out . The bathroom we had was very small , a shelf under the mirror would help a lot . There was no TV in the room which wasn't a majot issue for us but might be for others . The fridge was stocked with wine and water but there was no indication of prices or if it was other guests property . We would have enjoyed a glass and paid for it but there was no information
