    great breakfast variety, perfect view of the city. Great room, and best part was the host leaving me a breakfast snack as I would miss Saturday breakfast. My expectations were exceeded.

    It is not often that I am "wowed" by a location, but this one definitely did that. The accommodation, staff, view, food, attention to detail was just exceptional. I cannot fault them on anything and will most definitely be back.

    So villa Castollini is charming but the decor is a little dated. Faded grandeur. Lovely welcoming staff. Views to die for. Good breakfast. Comfortable massive bed! We had a lovely stopover.
