It was comfortable, clean, and very homelike

No TV in the bedroom but this wasn't really a big deal. No other issues.

We needed a location close to Grazie Di Cartone and this was perfect. We didn't really explore the area since it was a work related trip. Simple breakfast. We liked it. Room was spacious, clean and the AC worked amazing!

I had a great stay. Super kind and helpful father and daughter. I was completely out of Euro in cash, Marina drove me to the bank for exchanging money!!! I wasn't thinking she would help because it's way out of the ordinary thing for anyone would do, but she did. So appreciated her doing that. Father is also a super nice person. He lent me his bike to town!! We communicated through Google Translate, and everything worked well. They have a very homey place. It's a older home but super clean and the room is big with a good size bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept very well. I love their backyard so much. It's so beautiful. It had a stunning view that morning when the sun came out. There're two swans in their backyard, and one of them started to pose for pictures when I said, "You're so beautiful!"

The place is very cosy, comfortable, and calm - great for both work and rest. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful all along. If I am ever back to Mantova, I will go back without hesitating. Grazie mille, Roberto et Marina!

A nice stay in a cosy private house was like staying in an Italian family with a fantastic host Roberto who was more like a grandfather to his guests. The vintage room was spacious and convenient, beds very comfortable. The breakfast room was nicely furnished. Breakfast was served with much care.There is a guest kitchen if needed. A bus to Mantova centre takes 7-8 minutes.

Very nice little guesthouse with a family atmosphere with a great location right on the lake. PS: Best regards to Roberto - thank you for the nice evening and the Sbrisolona also tasted great to my friends 😋

I was travelling light and I like to walk a lot, but the journey from the train station to the location was a bit long and seemed to stump google maps on a couple of occasions. If you arrive with a suitcase on wheels, you might want to consider taking a taxi. Also, I came mostly to see the museums and historical center of Mantova, and again it's a bit of a walk from the b&b into the historical center. Still, you can't have a setting like this one and expect it to be right by the train station and the historical center. If you have a car, then none of this will be a problem. As for the place itself, no complaints whatsoever.

A family-run bed and breakfast in the very best sense. It's a fairly big house on one of the lakes surrounding Mantova, and has a lovely, peaceful garden with a couple of fruit trees running down to the lake. The man who runs it with his daughter is the kindest, sweetest guy. I stayed the night of the Champions League final, and when I asked if there were any bars or cafes around, he immediately invited me to watch the game with him. The next morning, he made a fabulous breakfast. He was telling me about his garden, and when I mentioned that my daughter--who had stayed behind in Bologna--loved apricots, he immediately went out and picked a half dozen for me to take back to her. He doesn't speak English, but he was very indulgent towards and forgiving of my intermediate Italian. His daughter's English is good, but she wasn't around as often. If you want to stay at a traditional b and b in a fairly quiet and out of the way setting, this is the place for you.

safe place on the lake, you will live with Roberto (very nice, friendly, cooperative guy) although he doesn’t speak English but he will try to help for whatever you need

(Minor) cons: - no small desk to work with a laptop in case of remote working - the bidet had no water jet, you could only use it by filling it up - no coat hanger in the hall - the single bed had a light mattress, and the small wool covers were insufficient when the night was chilly, luckily there was an extra cover which I added to the main one - no cup in the bathroom to hold your toothbrush or rinse

Pros: - friendly and organized staff - big roomy two-floor house with ample kitchen and facilities - extra perks in the fridge (fruits and water) - cleanliness - quiet location in front of the lake - free parking nearby - good value for money - position not very far from downtown

The owners were very friendly. it was a charming property in a beautiful location on a lake. There was a lovely route into town along the waterfront, although I hadn’t realised how far it was from the station. The owner kindly picked me up from the station and lent me a bike, which was fabulous.
