The Cock of Pills, born from a dream that we have pursued for a long time. It hasn't been easy to combine the many aspects of life that interested us, the joy of living, the simple atmospheres of a life lived in harmony with nature, and the enhancement of the beauty of places; we believe we have succeeded and we want to share all this with our cherished guests.

What guests say

Reviews emphasize the warm hospitality of the hosts, especially Michela, who is attentive to guests’ needs and always ready to give useful local tips. Rooms and common areas are tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and meticulously maintained. The breakfast, often homemade and generous, is frequently praised as a highlight. The property’s location is ideal for visiting Lake Garda and nearby attractions, while also offering peace and a relaxing atmosphere. Positive notes also go to the pool and scenic views. Occasional mentions about access or minor infrastructure details do not affect the overall very positive impression.

Congratulations to Michela who manages the B&B really impeccably, from the rooms furnished with taste down to the smallest detail, to the order and cleanliness everywhere you go, including the well-kept lawn, and, finally, the breakfast which is a triumph of variety of products and in quantities that make you skip lunch. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay.

All the attentions given were kind. Every detail in this lodge is pure joy. Michaela is like a good fairy. We stayed 3 nights but could have stayed 3 months. Beautiful area, on the wine route, close to Lake Garda. So many things to do and see... we will keep in mind the exceptional breakfasts. We will definitely return!

We would have also given praise because this structure deserves it all: from the care of every single detail of the structure in general (external spaces, rooms, etc.) to the abundant, fresh and complete breakfast, to the friendliness of Michela, a truly honest and pleasant person. It will be our reference point when we are in the area. Truly a gem of a B&B. Marianna & Family.

We have been here for the second time this year and felt very comfortable again! The hosts are very kind. The breakfast buffet is very rich and delicious! Michela, the hostess, likes to chat with the guests during breakfast and gives them valuable tips about Italy, the country, and the people. I can recommend this great guesthouse with a clear conscience!

The structure is very beautiful. Everything has been recently renovated and every aspect is well taken care of. The only negative thing I must point out is the absence of a bidet, which for us Italians is an integral part of our DNA.

Michela and Mario welcomed us to their property with great kindness and sympathy, making us feel at home right away. They assigned us a fabulous room, very clean, tidy, carefully arranged in every detail with taste and originality. In the morning, we enjoyed an excellent and abundant breakfast prepared with care and attention to the guests' needs. We thank the hosts again and recommend this experience to everyone. We will definitely come back.

1 dream weekend. Spectacular location, every little thing taken care of to perfection. Spacious, welcoming room equipped with every comfort. Convenient parking for the car inside the fenced courtyard of the B&B with an automatic gate. Owner, Michela, the real gem. Friendly, kind, always ready to give advice to guests on what to visit, what to do, where to eat. In short, extremely prepared for any question you may ask. The breakfast is plentiful, with quality products both savory and sweet. The sweets are made by her. In short, a structure that I recommend to anyone who wants to stay in the area and appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the hills. We will definitely come back. And this time we stayed 1 night longer than the original booking. Luckily we found our room available. Thank you Michela and see you soon!

I stayed at the 'Gallo delle Pille' property for 6 nights with my husband and 7-year-old daughter.\n\nThe place is wonderful, the rooms are well-kept in every detail, furnished with taste and sophistication.\n\nFrom the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the hostess, Michela, with affection and this made us feel immediately at home.\n\nThe breakfast is spectacular: rich, abundant, and served with elegance and taste. Everything seems immersed in a fairy tale..we felt pampered throughout the stay. The B&B's location is strategic as it is only a few km away from the main points of interest. We visited the Sigurtà Park, Villa dei Cedri, Gardaland, Movieland, the Natura Viva Park, the beautiful Lazise, and the lovely village of Borghetto sul Mincio.\n\nWhat can I say: wonderful vacation!

Stay dedicated to physical and mental well-being, the rooms are dreamy, carefully curated in every detail. There is a feeling of being in another world thanks to the care of Michela; very kind and helpful in everything. The breakfast is abundant and impeccable, here too we find great care in presentation and taste. They offer multiple alternatives to satisfy every need. Highly recommended experience and definitely to be repeated soon for us!

With my husband, we stayed during the weekend of the Bed and Breakfast taking advantage of the promotion. It had been a long time since I wanted to visit Mantova and this was a great starting point. The location is easy to find, very beautiful from a landscape point of view, and the structure is very well-maintained even in the smallest details. Michela and her family are very sunny, helpful, and pleasant to chat with and exchange tourist and non-tourist information. I highly recommend it for those seeking relaxation, culture, nature, and a lot of family warmth. Thank you for everything.

My partner and I stayed at Gallo delle Pille for 8 days, taking advantage of the Bed and Breakfast's location to visit some of the most beautiful places in Italy (Verona, Mantua, Ferrara, Padua, Lake Garda, the Mincio Park), all within easy reach. Michela and Mario were perfect hosts: helpful, kind, generous, and at the service of their guests, they pampered us and provided valuable information on places to visit and places to eat, with great attention to quality/price ratio. The Bed and Breakfast is a gem cared for in every detail, with love and passion. The place and the people who run it can only remain in the heart. Goodbye (hopefully) soon.

We stayed at this Bed and Breakfast during Christmas and we must say that we were catapulted into a magical atmosphere. The Christmas tree in the room was a wonderful surprise! The Bed and Breakfast is curated to the smallest detail, nothing is left to chance in the room decor. The breakfast in the morning is prepared by the owner Michela, all made with her hands, from sweet to savory. We had a brunch in short! Both she and her husband Mario are very kind and helpful, they gave us all the information on where to go and what to visit. The location of the Bed and Breakfast is fantastic because it is an oasis of relaxation, but with less than half an hour by car you can find yourself both on the shores of Lake Garda and in Mantova and surroundings. We will definitely return.

Very nice hospitality in a house with beautiful rooms, the breakfast was very nice and abundant especially if you like sweet for breakfast. But there was also plenty of fresh fruit every morning. Just a few minutes' walk from the B&B is a nice little restaurant with good food. As an additional culinary tip: Mario, the husband of the B&B operators Michaela works in a restaurant in Borgten, here the food was fantastic and the best part is that you can order all dishes as half portion and thus try several dishes at once. We will definitely come back.

Delightful structure, almost fairy-tale-like, meticulously cared for and very clean. The room, ours was the 'Bianchina', is spacious and welcoming. The breakfast is excellent, with pizzas, cakes, homemade sweets, and much more. Not to mention the endless friendliness and availability of Michela. We stayed two nights with a three-year-old child and we had a really good time. Thank you again!

A Bed & Breakfast simply delightful, furnished with taste and love, in an ideal position to visit many important places and cities without feeling the stress of it. Peace, tranquility, and beauty, pampered by the very kind owners and by the lush breakfast of Mrs. Michela. Even the house cat wanted to make us feel welcome in his own way by sneaking in and purring in our room! What can I add? To return as soon as possible!

Having been in the restaurant business for years, we wanted to thank Michela for her kindness and professionalism. The structure is taken care of in every detail. The breakfast is excellent, with all organic and genuine products. The room is welcoming and clean. There is absolute tranquility around the structure. The view is wonderful. Thank you, Michela. See you soon, Massimo and Angela (Puglia).

If you want to live a fairy tale, go to Gallo delle Pille: a place that will enter your heart and where you will have to return sooner or later. I went there in December when the bed and breakfast was decorated for the Christmas holidays: what magic! An old barn transformed into a charming maison by a friendly couple, down-to-earth and available to meet every request from the reservation onwards. Michela has a refined and very personal taste, Mario is a passionate collector of vintage cars as well as a great chef. The rooms are three: Bianchina in powder blue tones, Balilla in red and cream tones, and Lambretta in green. All romantic, spacious, with en suite bathroom in English style, hairdryer, toiletries, exposed beams, minibar and daily linen change: like true princesses and as clean as the rest of the property. Outside, there is a swimming pool, a porch with beautiful decorations for breakfast in the beautiful season which, otherwise, can be enjoyed in Michela's fairy-tale kitchen: a royal buffet! All of this at a ridiculous price, for a dream accessible to everyone. Furthermore, the bed and breakfast is in an enviable position between Mantua, Verona, Gardaland and Lake Garda: what are you waiting for? Go! I will return in a week and I also gave a voucher for two nights to my parents! A kiss to the whole family and to the sweet pony Pilla. P. S: they will all enter your heart and at departure you will leave with true friends.

The B&B Gallo delle Pille is a charming structure recently renovated with respect for the original architecture. The rooms are very romantic, carefully furnished and spotless. Michela is the sweet fairy who, together with her family, manages this fairy-tale place impeccably. The breakfast is abundant, the cakes are beautiful and delicious. If you go, please say hello to Pilla (the pony), the little turtles, the kittens and the little dog.

Tired of work stress and the frantic life, we decided, with my wife and my daughter, to spend a few days of relaxation in a unique and unspoiled location: the Gallo delle Pille. The excellent hospitality, the comfortable rooms and the attention to detail left us with a sweet memory. A place wrapped in the pleasant scents of the breakfasts prepared by Mrs. Michela; not to mention the vintage cars that the owner keeps in the garage of the farmhouse. It was a journey back in time. A truly special place.
