Review of Il Parco
Amazing location in a medieval religious village with spectacular views of lake varese and the city, however the room had very little natural light( no windows, just the doorway,) and smelt dank and unventilated.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018

Historical house well outside city centre
The hotel is located entirely well outside Verona and hard to reach without a car. There is nothing up there in the winter: no groceries, no restaurants open on the evening we stayed, no coffee shops, etc. The "B&B" does not actually include breakfast in the room rate, but the hostess is accommodating and quite ready to prepare food if needed (for a price=. The villa, on about 5 floors, was built in 1902 by sculptor and decorator L. Pogliaghi, who retired to it and built a collection of ancient art, shown alongside models of his own works. It is massive and certainly with its own character and style — not one I'd choose for my own home but one I can appreciate. It's full of exposed, chiseled wood and medieval-inspired decor, and the only downfall is that the remainder of the house (including heating and bathrooms) could use a makeover (but how do you update a historical home while keeping to the original feeling and style?). We stayed in one of the rooms on the first floor which was comfortable and well appointed. Don't expect a mini fridge in the room or a telephone. It's a 115-year old villa from a gone era. There is a ground-floor suite that must be stunning in the warmer season. The views from the upstairs are spectacular. Overall, this was a good choice for our purpose, which was a romantic stop-over while en route to farther destinations. I'm not sure I'd spend longer unless I was looking for a do-nothing stay out of the way.

A very friendly B&B to provide warm hospitality
The stay at the castle pretty nice. It has the amazing view at the top of mountain, it's worth to spare some time to walk around the area. The lord of the castle is a very very kind old lady. She was so care about our desire/expectation for the breakfast we were going to have. She would be pleased to introduce you the food she prepared you during breakfast and talk with you about everything like her castle's story and travel guidance. It's wonderful to be there feeling like living with family. There is also a lovely cat, also friendly. I would go back to visit my friends--the old lady and her cat if I go to Italy again;)

Wie im Märchen
Das Haus ist kein Hotel sondern ein Erlebnis. Nur 2 Zimmer, Einrichtung individuell (gemeinsames Bad, gut ausgestattet). Hoch am Berg (850 m), Blick ins Tal zum See von Varese, am Rande eines kleinen Wallfahrtortes.

Uakseptabelt og misvisende
We had booked a room in what on the Hotels.com site looked like a beatiful old mansion with style, With indication "last room avaialble", When we arrived around 19.30 (in a narrow street very hard to find) there was no signs or light. We finally found a path and had to tap through the darkness of a garden to an unlit door, The lady that opened sad she had not seen that there was a booking for that day and did not let us in but asked us to go to another building , a kind of low-quality appartment that seemed not to have been used for a while.. She turned on some heating and insisted that we pay immediately as she was going away for the evening. No breakfast was possible at this "B&B" Place. which only had a hard double bed and few towels. Next morning we realized that there was only cold water running and when we called the owner and walked down to the main house no one opened. We left in disgust .

Außergewöhnliche Lage in historischem Ambiente
Historisches Ambiente, nahezu unverändert seit ca 100 Jahren. Hochherrschaftlicher Stil, eine Zeitreise in die Zeit vor dem ersten Weltkrieg. Nahe an ausgezeichnetem Restaurant und historischer Altstadt eines Dorfes mit Blick über Mailand hinaus bis zum Apenin....

Romantisk, noget helt specielt
Vidunderlig gammel villa med smukke rum, senge og en fantastisk udsigt ud over dal og sø fra værelsets balkon, stue og spisestue. Fin morgenmad. Ejerens barnebarn tog i mod os og var meget sød; viste rundt, bestilte bord på restaurant, fulgte os op til restaurant og tilbød hjælp med at bære kuffert. Eneste minus var, at der ikke var aircondition og måske var der lidt støvet. Der er parkering ved villaen.

Architektonischers Traumhaus
Das Haus wurde vom Architekten des Mailänder Domes entworfen. Wer historische Gemäuer mag ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Der Garten ist wunderschön angelegt, wir hatten die Suite mit Terrasse gemietet, dies ist als Hotelzimmer mal etwas ganz anderes. Die Vermieterin spricht perfekt englisch, ist weit gereist und sehr Welterfahren. Das Frühstück war einfach aber typisch italienisch angerichtet, es ist eine familiäre Atmosphäre.

Hel unik oplevelse
Denne B&B kan ikke beskrives, men skal opleves. Huset er helt unikt, udsigten uovertruffen, værten meget opmærksom og der var en lige så genial restaurant på toppen af bjerget.
