“Super accommodation and location!”
We really enjoyed the breakfast provided and the view is amazing! A tiny suggestion, maybe let us know at the start of the breakfast that fresh omelettes are also available, otherwise everything was great and all the staff were wonderful.

“Charming find with charming staff”
Charming guesthouse in a charming village - run by charming staff, led by Signora Monica and her son. Delicious breakfast (including eggs) that is even better when served on the roof terrace in summer. The look of the interior is delightful, with exposed stonework in an ancient building in the heart of the village, close to good restaurants and views of the river and castle. A welcoming place we happily return to, and in a village that retains its character.

“Fantastic place”
Super breakfast, great bed, great location, really nice place. The stairs make it the charm of the place and the city. Dolceacqua is a medieval city completely built on rocks, so if you don't like a little bit of exercise, this city is not the place for you! Super comfortable, warm and welcoming place. Totally worth it!

“A really nice place, well worth it 10/10 for me.”
It was beautiful. Staff nice, breakfast with stunning views from the terrace, great and a location to die for. Great restaurants are a stones throw away.

Gorgeous B&B and fantastic design work throughout the property thanks to Monika the landkady. Breakfast is served on the rooftop with the lovely view over the town, castle and bridge. Homemade cakes and scrambled eggs made to order. Stefano came to show us the way to parking as it is difficult to find spaces and then walk in the narrow streets to the place as there's no straight access to the property.
