Hey from Barbara

Member since August 2013 | 35,488 hits
Hi everybody, we are Barbara and Giovanni, and for years we have been supporting a life style respectful of the environment and of life.

Thanks to our sacrifices and those of our families, we have been able to realize our dream: building an ecological House with wooden structure and opening a Bed and Breakfast.

Our dream is located in the heart of Valtenesi hills, a land of vineyards and olive groves overlooking the beautiful shores of Lake Garda.

The House is built with a bioclimatic wooden structure, which has a low energy impact.

Other choices we made in relation to the environment are:
-The use of solar panels for heating and sanitary water
-The use of a thermic process without glycol (problematic disposal), but directly with water.

-In the House there is a heat system that allows, during the winter, a healthy air circulation in the rooms without energy waste.

-We reuse the rainwater to water the garden and flush the toilets.

-The House is surrounded by permeable paving to allow the rain to enter naturally into the ground.

-We chose deliberately not to put air conditioning in order to respect the environment and not harm our health.

-The electrical system of the whole House is designed to receive the electrical circuit breaker.

For years we have been supporting organic agriculture. We only use organic products, from small local producers we know and support.

To reduce waste we try to minimize the packaging of products and do separate waste collection.

We use exclusively environmentally-friendly products not tested on animals to clean the house, to do the washing and for personal hygiene.

During the course of this project we would have liked to do more in relation to the environment, but unfortunately the budget didn’t allow it and we didn’t have any kind of support from organizations or institutions. Every day we fight hard (in all respects) for a healthier and more altruistic life and for an environmentally friendly attitude but we realise that people who think like us are still very few.

This is the reason why we opened a Bed and Breakfast, to transmit our thoughts and lifestyle.

The location of the property is extraordinary with a breathtaking view of Lake Garda. The breakfast on the terrace in the morning amidst the olive trees and with the lake in front is extraordinary. The care that Barbara puts into pampering the guests is extraordinary, the breakfast is truly organic with everything one could desire, both savory and sweet. Thank you for making our vacation truly special.

We had 4 wonderful days at the B&B Vivere la Vita. Barbara is a great host, super friendly and helpful. She gave us great tips for activities in the area. The rooms were beautifully decorated and extremely clean. You immediately felt very comfortable, the entire decor and decorations were very nice. Breakfast on the sunny terrace overlooking Lake Garda was the perfect start to the day every day. The breakfast buffet was excellent, fresh fruit every day, delicious bread, cold cuts, cheeses and great jams, homemade cakes, yogurt and of course espresso. Nothing was really missing. The BIO B&B is highly recommended. Thank you very much Barbara, we will definitely come back.

Newly designed structure and created with extreme attention to ecology. The Bio B&B Vivere la Vita is surrounded by greenery and away from traffic. It offers a terrace with a spectacular view, where you can have breakfast or simply relax. Elena is an excellent host and makes you feel immediately like a welcomed guest. Beautiful idea to offer organic breakfast with local products and homemade preparations. Highly recommended for those who love nature, relaxation, and a biological and slow life philosophy.

Barbara and Giovanni are lovely people, the property is brand new and beautifully maintained, the Terra room is comfortable and respects the description of both the furnishings and accessories. My wife and I really appreciated the eco-friendly and vegetarian lifestyle of the owners. As a vegan, I felt great and fully satisfied with the excellent and abundant breakfast, specially prepared for me; my wife greatly enjoyed the delicious cakes made by Barbara. The location offers a great panorama and Polpenazze is a very cute and quiet village. The main points of interest are easily reachable. The cleanliness is excellent, but what I will always remember is the kindness of Barbara and Giovanni. Excellent value for money. We will definitely return.

My family and I stayed over Easter weekend. We had a great time. The managers, Barbara and Giovanni, are friendly and nice. Comfortable rooms and impeccable cleanliness. Rich and plentiful breakfast. Everything blends with the managers' Bio philosophy: from the wooden structure to the organic soaps, from the natural cotton towels to the breakfast with homemade cookies, cakes, and bread all made with organic products and local ingredients. A peaceful environment dedicated to relaxation and in full respect of nature. We will definitely come back!

We found this property by chance on the internet and were impressed by the fact that it was built with respect for the environment and offered the opportunity to taste organic products. We decided to spend the Easter weekend at the Bio B&B Vivere la Vita. The warm welcome from the owners made us feel at home immediately, the environment is clean, the rooms are comfortable, and the view from the terrace is truly pleasant and relaxing. Not to mention the delicious and genuine breakfast that the owners serve between one joke and another! In short, a place to return to be pampered and enjoy the splendid scenery that Lake Garda has to offer.

The first thing that struck us when we chose the B&B for the Easter break was the philosophy with which Barbara and Giovanni have created it, making it special. Our expectations were completely met. The Terra room is truly comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bed is comfortable with quality sheets and blankets. The bathroom is well laid out and has a convenient shower box. The organic soaps and natural cotton towels are a plus. The breakfast is a 10! Barbara makes cakes (we were lucky to taste the apple one and the almond and jam tart) and delicious cookies. There are no shortages of options, toasted bread with jam and butter, yogurt with cereals, and if that's not enough even packaged snacks. Freshly squeezed juice, tea, coffee. For those who want something less sweet, there are also cheeses from local producers. The managers Barbara and Giovanni are extremely helpful, friendly, and courteous. Their passion shines through and they convey it to the guests. I highly recommend it.

I had the pleasure of staying at this Bio B&B Vivere la Vita for the short Easter weekend with my husband. We were looking for a quiet place with a relaxing atmosphere, but Barbara and Giovanni, the young owners, offer much more! The structure is new, with three tastefully furnished bedrooms following the principles of Feng Shui, designed for the relaxation and well-being of the guests. The bathroom is in the room, equipped with organic soaps and very soft and pleasant natural cotton towels. The view from their terrace is beautiful, the garden relaxing, and additionally, Barbara has dedicated a part of the building to her holistic physiotherapy studio, with the possibility to book directly with her the session that best suits your body. Everything has been designed to be eco-friendly, not only regarding the furnishings but also the soaps, the products used for room cleaning, and the ingredients with which Barbara prepares the breakfast, fantastic! Her cakes and cookies are delicious! Furthermore, you can enjoy tea, coffee, yogurt, and freshly squeezed orange juices, all strictly organic. What struck us the most was knowing that the entire structure is made of wood, thus respecting the environment. It is a Bio B&B Vivere la Vita different from all the others I know, the owners' commitment is to live organically, and we can only thank them for their kindness and hospitality!

Outstanding structure where everything speaks of environmental sustainability: bio-construction, natural paints, furnishings, bed and bath linens, organic vegan plant-based detergents offered to guests, organic vegan plant-based detergents, and a good, abundant, healthy, organic and vegan breakfast.\n\nHospitality and cordiality of the hosts, in addition to the possibility of receiving physiotherapy treatments and shiatsu massages directly from Mrs. Barbara, have completed the offer and made the weekend spent with them very relaxing and invigorating.\n\nI went there with other friends and all four of us were very satisfied, so much that we will return in the spring.

I stayed with my girlfriend the penultimate week of October. The Bio B&B Vivere la Vita is new and clean, albeit bare in decorations. Breakfast is plentiful but with limited choice. We had a great time, although I find it expensive for the quality-price ratio.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Claudio, la ringrazio per la sua recensione, ci dispiace molto sentire che lei ha ritenuto la nostra struttura cara, ci piace ricordare che il nostro B&B nasce in una casa ecologica che ha avuto dei costi di costruzione ed impiantistica elevati, sostenuti volentieri da noi per una scelta ambientale, inoltre il B&B è completamente a conduzione biologica, dalla scelta della biancheria da bagno e da letto in cotone biologico e confezionata in Italia (di cui ovviamente il costo non è paragonabile alla biancheria comune), ai prodotti utilizzati per preparare la colazione, tutti certificati biologici e di produttori il più possibile locali, (anche in questo caso il costo, e ovviamente la qualità, ma qui si sta parlando dell’aspetto economico, non è assolutamente paragonabile ai prodotti della grande distribuzione), normalmente una persona che sposa e sostiene l’agricoltura biologica è a conoscenza di questo aspetto. Per non parlare dei detersivi e detergenti che utilizziamo per la pulizia degli ambienti, delle stoviglie e della biancheria, prodotti ecologici biologici certificati BioVegan di una ditta di Brescia che utilizza solo materie prime naturali e biologiche e soprattutto non testate sugli animali, anche in questo caso il costo è leggermente diverso dai detersivi in commercio che al loro interno hanno veleni per le persone e per l’ambiente. Tutte queste scelte riguardo alla conduzione del Bed and Breakfast, le abbiamo volute perché rispecchiano il nostro stile di vita e con la nostra nuova attività volevamo sensibilizzare le persone ad uno stile di vita più sostenibile, più amico dell’ambiente e degli animali, ci dispiace che questo nostro impegno non sia stato capito. Un’altra cosa che volevo sottolineare è la dicitura “poca scelta “ nella colazione., per la domenica mattina la colazione proponeva una crostata bio di mandorle con marmellata di mirtilli, una torta di mele bio, dei biscotti bio di pastafrolla, ovviamente tutto fatto in casa, delle crostatine e dei tortini di farro confezionati, dello yogurt con mix di cereali, della frutta, del miele, del formaggio bio, del pane integrale e bianco servito tostato con burro e 2 scelte di marmellate, del succo di mele bio. cos’altro avrebbe gradito? Avremmo il piacere di saperlo, grazie, per migliorare sempre di più il nostro servizio. La ringraziamo, e la salutiamo. Barbara e Giovanni.
