Anna and Jacques are delighted to welcome guests in very large and comfortable rooms: the Salmon Room, the Pink Room, the Blue Room and the Attic Room.

Each has its own independent entrance, and all have tea and coffee facilities.
At the guests’ disposal there is a frescoed ceiling lounge with a fridge and satellite TV, private parking, a secluded garden with benches and tables, and a marble-columned loggia ... ideal for relaxing with a book on a summer night.
Anna and Jacques speak Italian, English, French, and Spanish fluently and are glad to chat and let you know about local traditions and culture; they will also advise about daytrips to Verona, Lake Garda, Mantua, Sabbioneta, Cremona, Venise, the Botanical Garden at Sigurtà and much more.
