This B&B was recommended for us by folks at a nearby winery we visited. We visited our last night in Italy here before heading back to Milano airport the next day (couple of hour's drive from here). We were basically looking for a place to crash but got lots more!

We were housed in the rose room on the ground floor. It was the perfect size for us and very pretty. Adriano was really friendly and we enjoyed talking with him half English half Italian.

Adriano booked us a table in the excellent restaurant (Belvedere) just 100 meters from our place. It seems he used his Connections(TM); while the place was totally packed we somehow got a table with the best view and both the owners serving for us. :-)

While we were waiting for the restaurant reservation Adriano was kind enough to take us to their private roof terrace to show the surroundings. There sure were lots of churches nearby (the bells toll every hour). It must be one of the best views in the village from this terrace. Adriano even opened a bottle of chilled white wine for us, too. What a luxury!

The breakfast was well worth a praise, too. We had an option to eat with the hosts or by ourselves. The hosts were such a good company so there was no question about which option we chose..

Credit card was not accepted but that didn't matter as there was an ATM within 100 meters.

The Antiche Melodie is a tiny B&B with only 3 double rooms, but these rooms are beautiful - decorated and furnished with care. Adriano and Grazia welcome you as if you are already friends and make your stay comfortable, memorable and very, very pleasant. The B&B is located in the little hill-town of La Morra, almost opposite the best restaurant in town with free parking available within about 50 meters.

Adriano speaks a fair amount of English and is very patient with those of us who speak no Italien. He recommended day trips and local walks, booked restaurants and arranged a visit to a cantina for wine tasting for us. (He also offered us mountain bikes but the hills looked too steep...). Breakfast is a generous buffet of breads, cheeses, cold meats, fruit, yogurt, croissants..... plus a boiled egg and we found it impossible to do justice to it. We had booked for 4 nights but liked it so much that we stayed for 6.

We booked directly - search for Antiche Melodie and you'll find them.
