Villa Nina Relais Boutique B&B

cute little bnb right on the water. we stayed in the smaller guest house but the grounds were great and very accommodating. beautiful dock view very romantic stay!

The room, but particularly the location and view, was fabulous. The welcome was warm and, thereafter we were happily left to our own devices. The facilities were excellent and tasteful, and the private lakeside garden and jetty were peaceful and well equipped with chairs, loungers, a well shaded pergola. We had the large lake-view room, with an enormous bathroom (bigger than many hotel rooms) with a deep bath, excellent shower and super-abundant towels. It enjoyed a roof terrace with lounger, table and two chairs (with sun parasol which we did not use) and a separate balcony. In early September the lake water was pleasantly warm for a swim (on the surface - it gets pretty nippy a metre or two down). An idyllic spot.

To be clear, if I had read the reviews before coming, I would have been less likely to have booked, and less surprised and disappointed by the seemingly recent scaling down of the breakfast from the 'generously abundant' to the barely adequate. I am glad that I did not read those reviews about the breakfast, because if I had I might not have booked - and now I would have regretted that. However, the 'exceptional breakfast' (rated 10 by Booking.Com) comprises a jar of (good) muesli and a (plain) yoghurt on a DIY basis in the room. In the event, for a four day stay, this was adequate, if uninspiring but could so easily be game-changed with some bread/pastries and fruit. Does this appear to be carping? Absolutely. It was the tiniest tarnish to an otherwise impeccable stay, and I hope that it wouldn't put anyone off - though it would be nice if the owners could just up their breakfast game a little before our next visit. Also, be aware that the parking at the property is VERY tight for a large car and exit and entrance treacherous (not because of the traffic, of which there is hardly any, but because of the tightness of the space).

wonderful place to stay and Federico was the most generous and gracious host.
