No, I did not exaggerate; impeccable cleanliness and quality/price ratio hard to beat (with the prices as they are now, 40 euros for two in a decent hostel are not enough; a bunk bed and shared facilities...). The location is unique, at the end of the village of Civate and at the beginning of the path (also well maintained, through woods and shade) that leads to the Monastery of San Pietro al Monte, a masterpiece of medieval art (and more). Civate's location in particular is ideal for touring Lake Como, but in half an hour/an hour you can also reach Bergamo Alta, Como, Monza, Milan (the railway line from Lecco is ideal here), and many other 'minor' places (in practice you can stay there for a week without getting bored). The mountains in the area are perfect for various excursions. Owners ready to solve any (remote) inconvenience. The room was practically a studio in a modern-rustic-alpine style, I felt like I was at a friend's house, in the guest room. AMAZING BREAKFAST, well-cared for, abundant, with many homemade items. Another added touch is the typical tavern (crotto, as they say around here), just below: you eat well (all seasonal, almost always typical of the place), you leave without feeling like something is missing, and the bill is ok. Note that in the room you don't hear any noise from the tavern (and at night there is absolute silence). Important note: a narrow passage in the village does not allow the passage of many current cars (at most the Panda and similar, but no more), so there are free parking spaces reserved for guests, and if needed (rain, heavy luggage) there is a shuttle ready to take you to the B&B. What can I say? I've been to many B&Bs and similar places in half of Europe/the world, and this is one of the absolute top. Thanks to Barbara and her husband, we'll meet again!

THANK YOU SO MUCH - Such friendly people in a wonderful place with great food in a cozy tavern next door - delightful. Thank you very much.

We immediately felt at home in the beautiful B&B Al Pozzo. The room is spacious and beautiful, and breakfast - when the weather is nice in the garden - is sensational. We thank Barbara and the family (and Lucio) for the fantastic stay. Not to forget the opportunity to eat well right next door. Anne and Frank.

Lovely place, just what I was looking for. Large room with kitchenette, essential for us (for the picky child). Having two dogs, we were really happy to find a place that welcomed them without any problems. Possibility to do many things, walks, visit nearby villages, lake, etc. Absolutely recommended! Also 100 points for the breakfast! We will be back!

Stay characterized by the kindness and friendliness of the managers.

Beautiful structure, very characteristic, comfortable and well furnished. In my room there were exposed beams, a very comfortable double bed, a kitchen area with a fridge and necessary for cooking, including herbal teas, coffee. The breakfast in the (beautiful) lounge downstairs was spectacular! Everything excellent from savory to sweet. The owners are very courteous, helpful, generous with information, and of great human warmth. The atmosphere is very peaceful and familiar. I would love to go back there. Thank you!

Barbara and her daughter are very welcoming. The room is large and also has a kitchen in the room, good for long stays. Barbara's house is located in the middle of nature, you have to park the car outside the property, but not far. Barbara prepared a wonderful and plentiful breakfast, all very good. We will definitely come back in the summer.

The structure did not disappoint our expectations, breathtaking view, superb breakfast in the garden, Barbara and her husband are very affable and attentive. Excellent location for excursions.

I like this property because it is really close to the mountains, cheap with good quality. It was here all what I needed.

Barbara welcomed us impeccably in her beautiful house immersed in nature. We will definitely come back to enjoy breakfast again with a view of the lake.

If I were to run a guesthouse myself, it would have to be just like this one.

Excellent structure. Lovely place. Exceptional, caring, kind, capable managers. \nA big kiss to Barbara. Thank you for everything.

We can only recommend this wonderful B & B! Barbara is the best host one could ask for and makes the most delicious breakfast! We spent 2 weeks there with two kids and it never got boring. Barbara had so many good ideas what to visit or where to go swimming/hiking/etc. We would definitely come back. Thank you!

My rhyming review: At the B&B Al Pozzo in Civate we were very satisfied with an excellent breakfast prepared with great care by Barbara, a very welcoming Host who takes care of every customer immersed in the green nature where you find fantastic creatures: goats, cats, dogs, a place to return to, someday!

It's impossible not to feel at home at Barbara's place. We already miss her breakfast so much. We really recommend staying here if you plan to visit the area, you won't be disappointed by the tips provided by Barbara. Thank you!

Top B&B in a quiet location. Italian could not be more authentic. Restaurant directly included. Small village where visitors are welcomed.

Very warm welcome, attentive person and very beautiful location of the B&B.

Positively impressed by the landscape, the location, the surrounding nature; having said that, it truly feels like being at a friend's house. Welcoming friends ready for a chat, if one truly desires to have a harmonious and sincere conversation. There is no business, profit before any other priority. There is a family. Good. Genuine. For those who love to stay in silence and peace, Al Pozzo remains certainly one of the bucolic places par excellence, which I recommend with all my heart.

Very cozy place managed by very kind and helpful people both towards people and four-legged companions. The house is really nice, excellent cleanliness and services, absolutely superb breakfast. We stayed here for two nights to visit Lake Como staying in a secluded and quiet place and we discovered that we are in a perfect place for a holiday in the green. A special thanks to Barbara from us and Gilda.

Particular structure tailored to those who love a bit of rocky forest like us. We will be back next year.

Très, très beau.

Caratteristico Bed and Breakfast vicino al lago di Civate, con belle passeggiate e un ottimo ristorante vicino. La proprietaria si è dimostrata gentilissima nel soddisfare le nostre esigenze di famiglia con una bambina piccola, ben oltre le nostre aspettative. La colazione è superlativa, con prodotti locali e freschi, varia e molto abbondante, servita nel caratteristico portico che dà sul giardino.

Posto incantevole immerso nel verde sotto le montagne. I proprietari persone fantastiche.

Charmant rustikale Unterkunft mit liebevollen Details. Unten im Haus empfehlenswertes Restaurant. Frühstücks war sehr reichhaltig und lecker. Kurz vor der Unterkunft nur 1. 80 Meter Durchfahrt Breite. Am besten Auto unten Parken. Top Lage zum Wandern. Fühlten uns bei Barbara Herzlich aufgehoben. Toller Urlaub.

A wonderful place to stay. The house is located on the top of the hill, so you will enjoy lovely views eating amazing breakfast outside. The host might surprise you with a fresh baked cakes and will give many useful trips to spend a great time in the surroundings. Highly recommended.

Auch wenn das B&B nicht leicht zu finden war, waren wir sehr positiv überrascht: wunderschönes B&B mit sehr gutem Restaurant im gleichen Gebäude, an einem tollen Wanderweg gelegen. Unsere Gastgeberin war sehr nett und hat sich super um uns gekümmert. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und lecker! Das nächste Mal bleiben wir garantiert länger als nur eine Nacht!

Ottimo sotto tutti punti di vista! Un po' imboscato, raggiungibile solo a piedi (in salita) per via di alcuni lavori in corso (che finiranno naturalmente), ma per 25€ hai addirittura l'angolo cottura oltre ad una stanza matrimoniale carinissima. Tv al plasma, bagno confortevole e Barbara (la titolare) è una persona squisita. consigliatissimo se avete qualche caro ricoverato a "la nostra famiglia" di Bosisio Parini (come capitato a me) o in una qualunque struttura sanitaria della zona. Dista una decina di minuti ed evitate di spendere minimo 80-100 € negli hotel della zona. P.s. la colazione è prevista, ma io non ho avuto il tempo di farla quindi non ho potuto valutarla.

Nous avons été très bien accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse par Barbara et son mari. La chambre est spacieuse et les petits déjeuner très bon et copieux!

Super accueil Convivial de la part de Barbara et de son Mari, bonne situation géographique, même si le chemin est très étroit! Beaucoup d'échanges beaucoup de conseils (avisés) pour les visites et cerise sur le gateau restauration très très proche.

Fantastic location, great food, great hospitality, thank you for a wonderful stay!

Ottima la posizione, il contesto e gli interni. Fantastica la colazione e soprattutto grande persona la gestrice.
