The breakfast is an enriched continental breakfast. A good choice of baked goods, cereals, some fruit, some ham, preserves, and good coffee. It’s not like the breakfast buffets of larger places (no eggs, no hot dishes), but a good start for the day. The owner, Francesca, is exceptionally helpful with advice about restaurants and nearby attractions, and is herself a charming conversationalist. Restaurant tip: don’t miss Gabbiano in Corte dei Cortese—Francesca can get you a reservation. It’s a 6 minute drive. The hotel itself is the wing of an old castle/ palazzo. The paintings on walls and ceilings are stunning. The rooms are very large, and well-heated. Our bathroom was the size of most hotel rooms, and the hot water was instantaneous. I could go on and on about the grounds, the breakfast room, the “living room” (with a huge TV and comfortable couches). We want to return in summer, when the immense swimming pool is open.

We really loved the place, so I have no negatives. But people who want TV in their rooms better bring their own laptops (the WiFi is good, but the rooms don’t have TV). Also, there is no elevator, and all the bedrooms are up a flight of stairs.

Absolutely gorgeous place. Fantastic host who makes you feel at home. Short drive to a lot of sights.

While we had a private bathroom it wasnt an ensuite which wasnt clear from the description and we would have probably chosen another room. However, we were the only guests on that floor so it was fine. Farmer trucks can be a bit noisy. None of the above spoiled our stay!

Amazing villa with beautiful park. Pet friendly, our dog was running freely whole day around. The host, Francesca, will help you with everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic ambience. Very private. Nice park with nice pool. Very friendly and helpful host. Nice living room with streaming-capable TV. Absolutely authentic Italian countryside restaurant within walking distance.

Remember to bring mosquito repellent. Wi-fi speed was modest.

The villa had amazing frescos and was of great historical interest

The villa is a little isolated which meant we had to drive into Cremona for a restaurant which was a 25 minute drive.
