Hey from Ivana

Member since February 2021 | 5,300 hits

I spent several years abroad, working in the tourism industry. It has always been my hidden dream to open a bed and breakfast, and so it happened. In 2010, I opened "GRAPPOLO" in Bianzone, an old barn that used to belong to my husband's grandparents.

This job has given me the opportunity to meet many people from all over the world and continue to speak English, German, and French.

I am a lover of travel, photography, and cooking.

riccardo

We stayed at B&B Il Grappolo for 4 nights. Ivana and Riccardo welcomed us with great enthusiasm and we felt like part of the family. Ivana's breakfasts were abundant and very carefully prepared: she makes delicious cakes and the scrambled eggs with pesteda are a must not to be missed! They gave us lots of advice for dinner and on what to visit and see in the area. The room was spacious, cozy and very clean. Thanks again for everything!

The B&B is very beautiful and well taken care of in the details. Ms. Ivana is of exquisite hospitality, very helpful and dispenses very useful advice. We stayed only one night, but we would have gladly stayed longer. The room is equipped with everything you need and is excellently clean. The included breakfast is abundant, varied, and has excellent homemade cakes. It is 5 minutes by car from the departure of the Bernina Red Train. Highly recommended.

The structure is very well maintained. Excellent cleanliness. Breakfast with cakes and homemade jams. Both sweet and savory is not lacking. Beautiful view of the mountains. Ivana is very kind and caring, providing all the necessary information on what to see or where to go. Close on the state road, 5 minutes by car there are places to eat and supermarkets. Recommended.

We stayed with our 5-year-old granddaughter for 5 days at 'B&B Il Grappolo Valtellina' and felt comfortable right from the start. Ivana is a very warm and caring hostess. She provided tips for activities and was helpful with any questions. Our granddaughter also had a great time. The breakfast leaves nothing to be desired, especially Ivana's homemade items like cakes or jams. A perfect stay in every way. We will gladly come back.

We stayed 2 nights with 5 people. Beautiful and spacious rooms, especially the double room on the 1st floor. Large bathroom with a nice hydromassage shower. Excellent breakfast with quality products and a good choice between sweet and savory. Mrs. Ivana is extremely kind and always available to give advice. Less than ten minutes by car from the Bernina train station.

The property is located in a convenient position to reach Tirano, cozy and clean, very spacious and bright room, breakfast rich in genuine homemade products made by Ivana who is always very kind, hospitable, and helpful. We will recommend it to friends and acquaintances.

claudia

We stayed 3 nights at the B&B Il Grappolo Valtellina owned by Ivana and we felt welcomed like at home. Our room was independent from the main house: spacious, clean, and well-furnished, with two areas, one with the double bed and the other with the bunk bed for our children. The only downside is the bidet in the bathroom: it's not there. The breakfast is varied with homemade pastries. Ivana also accommodates special requests like the plumcakes for our children. In summary, highly recommended.

marco

Excellent B&B located in Mezzavalle, 8 minutes away from Tirano station. Recently renovated, very clean, with a variety of room types and a convenient secure internal parking. Mrs. Ivana, an excellent host, serves a rich and varied breakfast with yogurt, cakes, and bread with homemade jams. For gluten-free guests, she promises to better organize with cakes made by her rather than pre-packaged snacks and jam. The rooms feature antique furniture that smells a bit of their time, I mention this for allergic guests, as it might be fine all things considered. Very large bathroom with a whirlpool in the double room. The place is very deserving, just like Ivana's enthusiasm and availability. Fair price without frills and speculations for holiday periods.

We stayed at the Bed and Breakfast Il Grappolo Valtellina for one night, as a base for our trip with the Bernina Express. The B&B, easily reachable by car, is located just a few minutes from Tirano. Beautiful structure, well maintained and organized. We were welcomed by Ivana, who manages the B&B, a very kind, helpful, and well-prepared person, you really feel at home. Ivana always prepares breakfast in the morning, with typical products, but also traditional, from sweet to savory. If there is a nice sunny day, you can also enjoy it on the terrace with a splendid view.
