The rooms are very spacious and well furnished and are maintained by very friendly and... More

We chose the Locanda as our site for our wedding after meeting the manager, the chef, and the owner for lunch. Jenny, the manager, is wonderful, and made my wife and I feel welcome. We made our decision completely based on how personable and friendly everyone was. Jenny and Mr. Calderoni did more to help us than our own wedding... More

This is a very nice hotel in a gorgeous, remote setting. We enjoyed our stay overall and you can't beat the view, but a few glitches colored the experience. The first problem was that while the website boasts free transfers from the Marino train station, when we inquired about that, we were told to take a cab. There are no... More

Superb luxurious accommodation with direct views of the lake. It was easy to find, after we checked the location on the Google street view. We arrived around 9pm and the owner kindly offered dinner at their restaurant. The room was spacious and looked brand new with luxurious antique furniture. It had a small kitchenette and bright and spacious bathroom. Each... More
