The Experience
This is a family affair and long-term friendships may be formed. Anna’s interiors are immaculate, with oak beams, ancient brick floors, family antiques and floral fabrics – all kept spick and span. You have your own sitting room with a frescoed ceiling and the bedrooms are delightful. Original frescoes were discovered in the Sala da Pranzo (dining room), formerly a monastery refectory, during the restoration.
Enjoy the large garden and terrace and ground floor loggia. Anna’s dinners are regional and delicious, breakfasts include home baked bread and homemade jams, local cheeses and fresh yogurt made by Jacques. Cooking classes, wine pairing, and guided tours along the lake and through the countryside can all be arranged.
Clearly they pour their hearts into the operation and their enthusiasm is contagious. You are in a peaceful street near the town centre, off the beaten path yet perfectly sited for forays into Brescia, Verona and Venice. Lake Garda is only ten kilometres away. Historic and very special.

We just returned from an eight night stay at this wonderful B&B. Part of a 500 year old convent, the building is full of beautiful old details but has been lovingly modernized to make it very comfortable. Especially comfortable are the many outdoor places to sit and enjoy morning coffee or an evening aperitif. It is also conveniently located to get around the Lombardy region. The best thing about the B&B though, are it's hosts, Anna and Jacques. They go out of their way to make your stay special, offering wine tastings, cooking classes, and guided tours to nearby sites. Our stay was perfect.

Anna and Jaques made us very welcome and our few nights stay was a great end to our holiday, they really know how to host a B&B well. They provided us with good balance of family welcome and privacy. We had a delicious meal with them the night of our arrival cooked by Anna from her family recipes, and our trip to Patrizia's winery with them on our last evening was both fascinating and enjoyable. And thanks Jaques for the great breakfasts.
