Wow! My room was maybe the most beautiful room I have ever had. Spacious and sooo cozy. Great atmosphere this hotel has! The bed was incredible good and nice firm mattress. Bathroom spotless clean. Breakfast was only 10 euro and you get everything you need and also very fresh (even real fresh orangejuice which is often not in hotels;)). Very friendly people and one man speaks very well english too!

Excellent hotel, beautiful and full of rustic charm! A must!!!

One of my favourite hotels in Northern Italy! Beautiful hotel with rustic charm and character. Great location that has been run by the same people for nearly 50 years. Excellent food, great facilities, a definite recommendation.

Enjoyable one night stay on our big road trip.

On a big road trip from Spain through France & into Italy in a day, we searched on booking.com for a place to stay that had parking & a restaurant that wasn't too far off the main motorway. We found Albergo Ristorante Madonnina located in Cantello & enjoyed our first night back in our favourite country of Italy. With instructions where to park, in the large car park just across the road from the Albergo, we were warmly greeted & showed to our very spacious room. The Albergo is showing its age, but it was very clean & had everything we needed in the room. There is a restauarant within the hotel which again, we were made to feel very welcome in & were very well looked after, as well as enjoying our meals. A lovely quiet spot for a night on the road in a family owned & run Albergo.

The warmth and hospitality of the Limido family are truly unmatched. This was our second stay here, and once again, everything exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be more pleased and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. Thank you for creating such amazing place!

Romantic place in cute town with great potential. Fantastic gnoccheria nearby. Unfortunately is the place not taken well care of and the nice garden and outdoor space (on a roof not in the garden) looked like a storage rather than a welcoming oasis for guests

I stayed just one night, but it left a very pleasant impression. The hotel has its own charm — atmos

The hotel’s restaurant is a true gem. The food was delicious, traditional, and served with warm Italian hospitality. The service was attentive and friendly. Breakfast was simple but made with quality ingredients. An ideal place for anyone who wants to experience authentic Italy, even during a short stay. Highly recommended!
