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!
