    Towels are not soft.

    Very good location. Center of the old city, but next to the church. If you mind bells ringing may be not for you. Clean. No TV in the room (we did not care). No shampoo provided. It's called B&B, but no breakfast. Sheets were plasticy-feeling, we were sweating, kept balkony open to cool down. Nice atmosphere of the old city. Loundry across a street - 4 feet, may be hanfy. Super interesting ancient door to it - we spent 30 minutes studying it!

    The room looked tidy, but I've noticed plenty of dust on the bed's wooden frames, quite visible as soon as you moved the duvet. Also dusty inside the wardrobe. There was quite a bit of mould between the bathroom tiles and on the shower glass.

    great and safe location, 2 steps away from the main piazza. Friendly owner, comfortable bed, and quiet at night.

    It was quite noisy, due not only to the construction, but also to the inconsiderate guests next door

    Breakfast was just packaged biscuits and cookies, nothing fresh. Bathroom had bit of black mould and no hand soap at the sink. No aircon or fan and only door to outside, no openable window so could get hot

    Good location, close to restaurants (although steep steps/slopes) Comfy and good value

    Many reviews mentioned a kitchen, with fridge stocked with food. We knew nothing of this. I think we were checked in by the owner's, sweet Dad, who didn't speak much English, maybe a unique circumstance? When we asked about whether breakfast was downstairs. He handed us coupons and walked my husband to a bar where we could get cappucino and croissants for breakfast. They were very good! But we would have liked to know about access to the kitchen. The door to the area, I think reviews are referring to always had a closed door.

    The location was great! Close to the square, sites, and good restaurants. It was very clean. And a short walk to the lake, even with my wrenched knee. The little balcony is nice and you can see a sliver of the water. The location is quiet, and the bed is comfortable.

    We were woken by very loud noises from a truck outside at 7am using hoses to extract something from the drains, but this was not the fault of the B@B so I didn’t note it in the score. The pillows were flat and uncomfortable and towels were a bit small and scratchy.

    The room was well located near San Giovanni close to restaurants. Interactions were pleasant with our host. The room was simple and clean with a small balcony overlooking the square, double glazed windows with blinds, a good firm mattress, and separate bathroom with some grout mould but pretty clean. Breakfast was dried biscuits or crackers, a jug of coffee and warm milk, and juice left for us to help ourselves. Reasonably priced for the area.

    Perfect location, clean comfortable room which was bigger than photos shown. The host was there to greet us straight away and provided a small breakfast each morning which was appreciated. Other reviews I’ve read mention the noise but we had no issue with that in the peak of summer. The wifi also was no issue for us at all. Would recommend staying here :)

    We had very little Euro as our ATM cards did not work. Owner was not flexible and would not take US $ even with a 20% bonus. We had been told Euros only, but would have stayed elsewhere if there had been another room available in Veranna. The furnishings were sparse, but appropriate with the price. Had to walk 2 blocks to get Croissant and coffee for the breakfast, both were adequate.

    The beds were very firm and area very quiet. Although the furnishings were sparse, they were in line with the low price.
