Guest Reviews
- Francesca*.tonetti@gmail.com (6/5): - Purtroppo a colazione sono stati serviti a mio marito celiaco prodotti per la colazione scaduti nel 2024.
- Bjørg (8/5): Anbefales for gjennomreise - Det er et hyggelig og rent hotell. Ytre fasade og beliggenhet trekker ned. Ligger like ved motorvei og praktisk for gjennomreise. Men få tilbud i nærheten av hotellet. Rimelig og fint hotellrom og god frokost. Mye for pengene-
- Sami (8/5): - Helppo saapua autolla ja hyvä sekä turvallinen pysäköinti. Aamiaisella puutteita tuotteissa, mutta henkilökunta täydensi puutteet pyydettäessä. Mukava yhden yön yöpyminen.
- Mari (8/5): Very good -
- Mr.kostov (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paola (5/5): Good location, comfy bed, no sockets, no essentials - Breakfast was excellent.
Location very convenient next to the highway.
Premises wonderfully maintained. Only one bedside lamp in a double room.
No available sockets for phone recharging except in bathroom.
No courtesy water.
No courtesy essentials except soap dispenser.
Upon arrival room smelled stuffy.
- Mislav (9/5): Superb - The hotel is a beautiful blend of old manor and modernity. Spacious rooms and a beautiful garden to have your morning one or more coffee (to the amazement of the staff who didn't want to charge for the extra cofee's). If you are quiet enough and in tune with the surroundings, you may be accompanied by a rabbit running across the garden or curious pheasants. The hotel is near the exit from the highway, so it is a bit noisy if you have the window open. Across from our room window was a parking lot and an industrial plant that started to make noise every now and then, but that was something the hotel could not control. A minor complaint about the bathroom, which, although spacious and functional, has seen better days. My wife found a stain on the bedsheets that I didn't notice without explicitly pointing it out to me.
Breakfast was something for everyone, the only thing we found was a spider in the cereal and gave up on it.
- Uroš (8/5): Very good -
- Lidija (9/5): Superb -
- Abel (5/5): The best is that is close to the main road if you are taking a break from a long trip - The breakfast was really good but the night before when I arrive I was told the restaurant was closed for the night. The private parking that the description mentions is an open space that gives no sense of security.
- Wendy (7/5): Good -
- Christian (8/5): Very good -
- stephanie (10/5): - Nous avons passé une nuit très agréable dans cet hôtel. Le lit est confortable et la chambre propre et agréable.
- Sergej (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice place, especially the restaurant. the guys from the hotels speak English👍.
- Kata (10/5): Beautiful, romantic oasis - Amazing decoration inside, vintage-style, romantic. Right next to the exit of the highway it is a little oasis with a nice garden and a yummy restaurant. We couldnt stay much in the garden because the mosquitos were having a feast on us:-) Maybe more measures aginst them would make it more enjoyable outside
- Magali (9/5): Superb -

- Dzmitry (10/5): That's great!! Romantic!!! Delicious!!! - This is an amazing hotel in a beautiful and picturesque location. The interior is very beautiful!! We were greeted very politely and friendly. The hotel has an excellent restaurant, be sure to visit it. the menu was very tasty, the salmon and pasta were excellent!!! Special attention is paid to the delicious wine, we liked it so much that the sommelier gave us a bottle of wine as a gift, it's so nice. The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere and a high level of service. Thank you for the pleasant atmosphere. I RECOMMEND this wonderful hotel to EVERYONE!!!!
Dmitry, Tallinn-Estonia Everything is wonderful in this hotel!! I didn't see any flaws.
- Liborio (10/5): Pleasant surprise in the middle of Italy. - It is a very pleasant surprise. Outside it doesn't look like much, but inside the decorations and the atmosphere is fantastic. The garden is the real "piece de resistance". A wonderful oasis. I was worried that being so close to the autostrada it will be noisy. But the windows were exceptionally good and sound proof. Maybe a stronger A/C. But it was enough for one night.
- Sharon (9/5): Would recommend to anyone & stay again - The room was clean & bed was very comfortable.
Staff were really friendly too.
- Semiak (7/5): Good price quality ratio, suitable for short stay - Personnel was very friendly, location is good - near the highway, breakfast is ok, pretty standard, nice yard Rooms are not luxurious but nothing wrong about them.
- Niels (8/5): Good clean hotel - good for One night stay. Exceptionel restaurant at the hotel. Staff is very nice and helpful, breakfa - Clean! Very nice staff. Good breakfast. Good location for 1-2 night AC was horrible, could not keep up with the heat
- Dan (9/5): Very good and relaxing stop - A pleasant hotel, in an old building, with an elegant restaurant. The room was large and comfortable.
The Italian breakfast is excellent, with a good choice of cakes and sweet pastries.
The motorway is very near, we are going to choose the hotel again in the future. Nothing to complain about. The rating cannot be the highest, but overall, our stay was as good as expected.
- Agne (10/5): A very pleasant stay. - Everything was very nice- the hotel was clean and lovely, the restaurant inner and outer places very nice and cosy, the receptionists were very polite and friendly. Spacious room and bathroom, a huge restaurant, breakfast.

- ingvar (10/5): - Superb Hotel with fantastic restaurant.
- Keresztes (10/5): Nice stay - I liked the beds, the design of the hotel and the breakfast. A little dust in the room.
- Andrea (9/5): Good value for money and wide choice for breakfast in the heart of Italy - The hotel is very close the highway. It has its own parking space but you have to cross a road to the hotel. The building is old and charming, the hotel has a very good restaurant on site. Room furniture was nice. There is a bidet in the spacious bathroom. Our room had a view to the well manicured garden.
Lot of choices for breakfast. Scrambled eggs, panchetta, cheeses, three types of salami, five different kinds of fruits and some sweets. The staff serving breakfast was especially nice and helpful. When we booked the room only a three bed room was available so we booked that for the two of us. However when we got there in the evening we received a double room which was smaller.
- Anastasiya (9/5): Superb - A beautiful building, was near the motorway. Excellent breakfast included in the price.

- Angela (8/5): Friendly welcoming staff & superb restaurant. - The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was superb, we really enjoyed our supper. The room & bed were both very comfy. it was quite a noisy from the traffic and the bathroom ( especially the shower) was a bit disappointing.
- Trevor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jernej (9/5): Superb -
- Hilary (8/5): Very good - Beautiful old building with lovely garden Air con was not very powerful and occasionally stopped working
- Biljana (5/5): If they put sound barriers around the road and fix the ac, it will be a good hotel. - The room is ok, it's clean. The garden of the hotel is excellent. The girl who worked in the morning was super kind. The aircond doesn't work, and the window can't be opened because of the highway noise. You really can't get enough sleep. The restaurant was not open, which you only find out when you arrive at the hotel.
- Andreas (9/5): Superb - Excellent breakfast. Super restaurant— fabulous food in a lovely setting. Perfect for our stopover and visit to beautiful Cremona. Very friendly staff and the restaurant is well worth the expense.
- Goran (10/5): Super place - We arrive late (later than check in time). From the hotel made perfect directions how we can check in, and it work super

- Cristina (8/5): Very good -
- Nica (8/5): - Bel posto personale cortese.
- Sofia (10/5): - Molto disponibili
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The garden is lovely, and the restaurant looked beautiful as well, though I didn't have time to eat there. Most important for me is always the bed, which in this case wasn't so great. I don't mind hotels that aren't particularly modern, but there are some modern conveniences I'd rather not go without.
- Egya (10/5): Excellent - My stay was fantastic without no problem everything was good
- ST (6/5): - AC did not cool room very well. Mattress was terrible.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Veldig hyggelig hotel med sjel. Litt nøktern frokost, men veldig fornøyd ellers! 😀
- Verified traveler (2/5): Te lawaai, kan niet slaap, geen dekbed ... - Nooit meer boeking veel lawaai en hoor buur alles , geen dekbed , badkamer prachtig ,
- Dongseok (8/5): - 친절한 직원
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good rooms - Once you can find the hotel (it isn't in the town of Pontevico, but in the hamlet of Chiesuola nearby) you're ok. The rooms are very generously sized and wifi is available. The bathrooms are very good and the rooms have air conditioning. The hotel is located next to a busy road and there is near-constant traffic. It is easy to get to Cremona from there. Breakfast was quite basic but sufficient. The hotel is a family-run establishment but they seemed a little confused by how an internet booking worked and we had to wait around for quite a while when they were sorting our bill at the end of the stay. The carpark was not clearly marked out for us and so we parked on the road outside the entrance and were told off by one of the staff because it's where he normally parks. The evening menu looked good, although a little pricey.
- Mr. Black (10/5): Freundlich, zuvorkommend, familiär - Hervorragendes Essen, sehr freundliche Menschen, das Hotel selbst hat offensichtlich schon einmal bessere Zeiten erlebt, hat aber immer noch einen gewissen Charme...
