“Magical”
We stayed at Bettines's B&B in Dolce Aqua for several days, experiencing the Beauty of the Countryside & the rhythm of village life. It's a "vanished" rhythm - a nostalgia for something today that we've never really had, hardly touched by change. At night, only the sounds of an ancient building & dark narrow alleyways under a ruined castle. You will be submerged by ancient stones. And then there is Bettine, who greets you every morning with the most beautiful smile which says "Nothing is too much trouble"! Her breakfast is divine. She brings her newly baked fruit tart over "Monet's" bridge to you from her house across the river below. Through breakfast a piano tinkles away, the frescoes (discovered during renovation) complete the atmosphere. Italian voices break the stillness, & the river below splashes on the stones. Swallows are nesting in their walls. Go there. When you have to leave you will find it tugging at your heart strings. DolceAqua (& Bettine) are precious. Tina - (Art Historian) England

“Live the medieval village life with the 20th century confort with amazing hosts that still care...!”
The owners are extremely caring about the guests (this is a couple). They have done that for years and still care. Breakfast is amazing, generous, and with many choices (and you don't have to choose !! can have it all...). There is a fantastic terrace overlooking the castle and the river. As far as the location, well, you cannot live the experience of a medieval village better than this. Trust me, eyes closed, go there, you will not regret. My room was a paramount of silence, but no view.

What a lovely charming romantic BB. The room exceeded all expectations and was extremely comfortable. Our hostess was absolutely wonderful, kind and generous. We had a picnic lunch on a gorgeous rooftop garden with views of the castle and the river. Our breakfast was delicious, with a huge selection beautifully served. We just wished that we could have stayed here longer.

This is a true gem, the photos barely do it justice. Located at the heart of the old town, we felt right at home with the warm welcome by the host. The house's super cute decor and unique style made it such a memorable stay. Love to return!

“Wonderful stay in a truly unique place!”
We really loved this place. The location is wonderful, in the beautiful old part of Dolceacqua. The apartment had a nice view on the old bridge. We couldn't reach it by car but there are plenty of car parking facilities nearby. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast is amazing! Bettina had something freshly baked each morning and the omelettes are just perfect. I would recommend everyone who goes to Dolceacqua to stay in this unique place.
