What guests say

Guest reviews praise the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the host Celestina, noting her kindness and helpfulness. Rooms are described as very clean, spacious, and quiet, and the peaceful location is still convenient to Arona's center and the lakeside (about a 10-minute walk). Breakfast is consistently reported as plentiful and of good quality. The value for money is seen as excellent. Some guests mention the lack of air conditioning (though rooms are generally cool) and minor aspects of the furnishings. Overall, this property is recommended for its homely feel and attentive hospitality.

Lovely accommodation run by a very kind mother and daughter. A little bit of a walk from the centre of town but otherwise exceptional. Highly recommended.

Mrs. Celestina's B&B is a little gem in Arona. Very clean, tidy and in a pleasant setting. Excellent and abundant breakfast prepared with love by Mrs. Celestina, who is so kind that she makes you feel as if you were at a relative's home. A 10-minute walk takes you to the lakeside. Highly recommended!

Spacious, spotless and quiet room, just steps from the center of Arona, with convenient parking right in front. Sweet breakfast, abundant and tasty. But what makes the stay special is the unique hospitality of the landlady: kind, attentive and able to make you feel like a guest, not a customer. I will return without hesitation and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

My children and I spent only one night plus breakfast for a mini vacation on July 25. We called only the day before. The lady is wonderful. Very kind, helpful, and welcoming. We felt very good in her very tidy and very clean structure. The simplicity and freedom with which we were welcomed made us feel at home, but also on vacation! The nighttime silence is great since it is not centrally located, but easily reachable on foot. We were not traveling by car. We hope to return.

The place is very convenient both for the price and for the location. Outside the center but convenient to reach the center or Lake Maggiore in a few minutes by car. Parking on the street in front is always available. Room in antique style, like the embroidered sheets, excellent cleanliness. Basic breakfast, cookies, packaged products and a pastry brioche for each person. Juice, cappuccino as requested and at the time one wishes to have it. Independent entry and exit with the keys. Mrs. Celestina, who manages with 100 and praise, is kind and gives you all the available advice if you ask. The only drawback: there is no air conditioning, which we did not need because the environment is very cool. But consider depending on the season. (At least we did not see it) excellent value for money.

On our way through Arona, we booked this room at the last minute, but no choice was luckier. Accommodation in a quiet area, not far from the center with public parking available in front of the house. Comfortable and quiet room. The real added value is Mrs. Celestina, who welcomes you with her kindness and availability, making you feel like a welcomed person and not just a customer. You will gladly return and I would recommend this B&B to anyone.

It is not a 5-star accommodation. The duvet constantly slips away because it is connected by a duvet cover. The floor tiles are very slippery. The armchairs and the couch in the living room are sagging. There are no German-speaking channels on TV. There is no radio. The mini table in the bedroom is so slanted that a bottle falls down. However, the hostess is very friendly even though she does not speak German or English. The area is quiet and not far from the center or the lake.

Very nice host, breakfast super, clean and spacious, nice balcony with garden view. The location is quiet, but if you have guests staying in the next room you could hear them. Great value for the price ratio. I would recommend it!

We spent two nights at the B&B Il Rododendro. It was a very pleasant experience. The house is located in a quiet area, not far from the center of Arona. The landlady and landlord were very friendly without being intrusive, the room was spotless and the breakfast plentiful and tailored to our desires. In short, nothing to complain about and we will definitely return when we are in the area. We wish them all the best.

I was looking for rest and silence during the night. Here I found it. Like being at home. The host knows how to make you feel comfortable with simple and down-to-earth ways. If you're looking for rest, you'll find it here. If you're looking for 'lake view,' go to the lake. Excellent.

The apartment is very clean, the rooms comfortable with a private bathroom in each room. The breakfast was abundant and served with a beautifully set table with elegance by the hostess. We were asked at what time we wanted to have breakfast and what we preferred, but there was everything: tea, coffee, milk, juice, yogurt, biscuits, cereals, jams. In short, a lot of hospitality, cleanliness, and silence as the house is not in the center but a maximum of 10 minutes walk from the lakeside. There is no kitchen available, but there is a nice fridge in the living room that we could use to store fresh food and drinks. In short, recommended.

Wonderful structure located near Arona station and conveniently close to a supermarket.\n\nThe managers are really friendly, helpful, and professional. As soon as we arrived, they warmly welcomed us and we felt like we were at home.\n\nThe room, complete with a private bathroom and terrace, was simple but perfectly suited to our needs. It was really very clean, like the rest of the house.\n\nThe breakfast was fit for a king, with a wide range of options, plentiful and everything was delicious.\n\nWe will definitely return on our next visit to Arona.

I found a family-friendly environment, great cordiality and availability. The decentralized location compared to the center of Arona is still excellent to ensure tranquility for the stay and at the same time it is close to the communication routes to the other locations of Lake Maggiore.
