Nothing was too much trouble. On my last night stay I was invited to an evening meal at the Bed and Breakfast with some of the other residents by Mr Sussino who home-cooked some amazing food! It was lovely to meet and mingle with the other residents too. I would stay here again and highly recommend it's friendly service. ##### Adele Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Ombra 26 Jul 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### B&B carino a due passi dal centro zona tranquilla Il B&B è carino e ben curato, il personale è cordiale ed ospitale. La colazione è all'italiana con varie possibilità di scelta. La granita di mandorle fatta in casa è una delizia. Possibilità di parcheggiare facilmente nella strada pubblica che porta al B&B. Unica pecca è che la mia camera aveva la finestra su un pozzo di luce quindi un po' buia. In complesso il soggiorno è risultato piacevole. ##### Ombra ### 10/10 Excellent #### Expedia, Ravenna 18 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ottimo bed and breakfast Bed and Breakfast molto bello, l'appartamento era spazioso e pulito.Posizione perfetta e staff gentilissimo.
