The property is spread over 3 levels. We live on the ground floor, on the first floor we have the Lucy Room, a charming one-bedroom apartment, and on the second floor, there is the Sunflower Room, which is spread over two levels and has a large attic quadruple room. On the lower level, there is a small lounge area and a private bathroom.
Guests staying in the Lucy Room have access to a large terrace equipped with a table, chairs, and umbrella for sunny hours. Here, they can have breakfast or enjoy dishes cooked by themselves, as the room is equipped with a kitchenette, refrigerator, and dining area.

Breakfast
The breakfast, always abundant, is included in the booking price.
What could be better in the morning to start the day with a rich and varied breakfast, this is our thought, prepare homemade products every morning, trying to give preference to organic and good quality products.
The breakfast is really plentiful, milk, coffee, tea, (depending on your needs), fruit, yogurt, bread, butter, jam, croissant. If you prefer a savory breakfast (ON REQUEST) we offer a variety of egg dishes (Omelette), wraps, cheeses and sausages with a supplement of € 2. 50 per person.
We serve breakfast in your room due to the Covid emergency.
Breakfast is usually served from 8: 30 to 10: 30 but if you want another time just make arrangements with us.

Hey from Rosy & Massimo
Member since June 2016 |

Hello, it's us in the photo, Rosy and Massimo. We enjoy going on hikes in the mountains, by the sea, anywhere we go. We really like cycling, especially on nature trails. We often have our grandchildren with us, so we organize trips near home, go to the river or the lake, and it opens up a whole new world for the little ones. We love practicing yoga, and we've been doing it for several years now.. it's wonderful. Rosy is a vegetarian and a masseuse, and our guests often take the opportunity to get a treatment from her. We really enjoy traveling, but we often find ourselves unable to do so due to lack of time. Both of us love reading and the tranquility that our "home" and your home provide. We started this experience out of necessity, as Massimo lost his job, and so we decided to reinvent ourselves in life, reorganize, and study the languages necessary for this activity. Honestly, we can say that it is a truly unique experience. Thanks to our guests!

Our B&B is located in a hilly area (Cossogno) near Lake Maggiore (10 minutes away). It is the perfect place to relax, away from traffic and the chaos of the city. It is a village surrounded by nature, and the road ends here, so there is no traffic noise like in other nearby towns.
We are on the doorstep of the Val Grande National Park, from where you can start walking to explore the park. For hiking enthusiasts, this is the beginning of the adventure.
Even for our more tranquil guests, there are definitely more touristy walks available. As an alternative to the effort of hiking, you can reach Verbania and visit the city, take a walk along the lake shores, visit the botanical park of Villa Taranto, or take one of the numerous boats that will take you to visit the Borromean Islands or go on cruises on the lake.
Within a 50 km radius, there are countless places that can surely arouse your interest and curiosity (Lake Mergozzo, Lake Orta, Santa Caterina del Sasso, etc).
We are at your complete disposal for any information you may need.

A bed and breakfast like never before experienced. From the price, to the welcome and comfort (the view of the mountain from our hammock and the magical surroundings) passing through the setting, B&B Il Castello proves to be impeccably clean. Rosy and Massimo go all out to delight their guests (a nod to the sumptuous). A huge thank you for everything, breakfast is gargantuan (bring Tupperware to not waste anything;). Only one regret, that of having left! See you soon we hope, Céline and the children. Hello and kiss.

Lovely location, perfect for tranquility. The house is a real gem and is ideal for relaxing weekends. The managers are two delightful people, to say the least. What can I say? I can only give the highest score. We will definitely be back.

Ospitato nella struttura per due giorni, posizione tranquillissima, ambiente molto curato e pulito e gestori gentilissimi, non per dovere, ma per carattere e disponibilissimi per qualsiasi bisogno o informazione.
Se ripasserò da quelle parti andrò sicuramente a salutarli.

Appartamento accogliente, caldo e dotato di ogni comfort. Sarebbe il massimo avere un microonde, per poter essere autonomi. I proprietari sono persone splendide e genuine che si preoccupano di far passare serenamente qualche giorno di vacanza agli ospiti. La pulizia di tutti gli ambienti è eccellente, i materassi sono comodissimi e la luminosità dell'appartamento è ottima. Il Wi-Fi (gratis) trasmette un segnale eccellente. Sicuramente ci torneremo.

Esordisco con il commento di mia figlia di 2 anni "questo posto è magico" non voleva venire via neanche con la promessa di portarla da babbo natale, penso di aver detto tutto ma aggiungo che non mi è sembrato neanche di dormire fuori casa. Atmosfera super accogliente. massimo e Rosy gestori e papà e mamma con i piccoli e grandi ospiti. ci hanno coccolato e viziato. grazie ancora di cuore. da provare. E riprovare.

È a dir poco stupendo, come i gestori. Accoglienti, disponibili e molto simpatici. La struttura è l'ideale per chi ha bisogno di tranquillità, in mezzo alla natura. Ed è a 10 minuti dal lago. Colazione stupenda, tutta artigianale e sana, con la stupenda compagnia degli stessi gestori. Io e la mia compagna ci siamo sentiti come a casa. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente. E finisco con il dire che molte volte le cose e le persone più semplici valgono molto più di qualsiasi altra cosa.

Vom B&B aus erreicht man den Lago Maggiore in nur wenigen Autominuten. Wer gerne wandert oder mit dem Mountainbike unterwegs ist, der hat sich den richtigen Schlafplatz ausgesucht, denn viele wundervolle Orte des 'Val Grandè sind gut zu erreichen. Bei ausreichender Schneelage und geringer Lawinengefahr besteht auch die Möglichkeit, Skitouren oder Schneeschuhwanderungen zu unternehmen.
Max und Rosy sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie empfangen ihre Gäste herzlich und lassen jeden Aufenthalt unvergesslich werden. Max kennt sich sehr gut in Verbania aus und gibt gerne Tipps zu interessanten Ausflugszielen.
Das Frühstück ist eine Bereicherung für den Start in den Tag. Wer Abends gerne auswärts essen geht statt die Küche zu benutzen, bekommt gute Tipps von Max und Rosy.
Das Appartment 'Lucy' ist optimal. Man hat sehr guten WLAN-Empfang und kann somit problemlos seine Touren online planen. Die Küche ist super, wenn man sich das Essen lieber selbst zubereitet als zum Essen zu gehen. Das Badezimmer hat eine wunderschöne Dusche. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt.
Übrigens: Max und Rosy holen ihre Gäste gerne am Parkplatz ab, damit jeder Gast ohne Probleme zum B&B findet. Google Maps stellt Cossogno falsch dar, weshalb man sich nicht darauf verlassen sollte.
Fazit: Top Unterkunft mit unschlagbarem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und sehr netten Gastgebern. Danke für das tolle Erlebnis, Rosy und Max!
