Hey from Elena

Member since September 2013 | 36,136 hits

Hello, I’m Elena. I have always had a passion for taking care of others, offering a warm welcome with an open heart and a sincere focus on the well-being of people. My journey began in the world of aesthetics, where for 25 years, I dedicated myself to helping others feel more beautiful and at peace with themselves. However, exterior beauty was no longer enough for me; I felt the need to go further, to guide people towards a deeper sense of well-being, one that embraces both body and spirit.

So, I embarked on a personal growth journey that transformed and enriched me. I became a certified holistic operator, deepened my knowledge of massage techniques, and practiced breathwork, a discipline that helps release vital energy through conscious breathing. My various experiences led me to discover Hawaiian philosophy, which changed my approach to life. One of the most extraordinary experiences I offer my guests is the Lomi Lomi massage: a true journey within oneself, an experience that provides deep relaxation and a perfect balance between body and mind.

It was my passion for well-being that led me to decide to offer my guests an experience that would enrich their stay, gifting them moments of pure relaxation and serenity. Every massage and treatment I perform is designed to restore energy and bring tranquility, turning each moment into an opportunity for growth and well-being.

Today, thanks to everything I’ve learned, I bring my guests a unique experience where every treatment is meant to recharge energies, relax, and rediscover balance. I would love for you to experience this journey with me, enriching your vacation with well-being that unites both inner and outer beauty.

We chose to spend 3 nights at this B&B during the San Lorenzo meteor shower. Very beautiful and relaxing place for those who want to disconnect and enjoy nature. You are welcomed by Ms. Elena, a very kind, helpful, attentive and friendly person with her guests. Breakfast was not too abundant, just right in my opinion and above all very good. We were very happy. Room clean, spacious and bed very comfortable; we slept very well during the three nights spent there. If I may give a suggestion it would be about the room: in my opinion it could be personalized a bit with paintings or something to fill the walls. Returning to the shooting stars, anyone looking for a quiet place to see the sky I recommend it; we managed to see many meteors in 3 nights. A place we will definitely return to for the hospitality, the nature and the breakfast. Thank you.

The Junior Suite is particularly beautiful and spacious. The possibility of massages by appointment is very interesting.

The structure is immersed in greenery in an area not far from the center of Acqui Terme, a town known for its thermal springs and very lively. It has a beautiful pool overlooking the hills and is surrounded by wonderful plants and rose gardens, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Our junior suite was perfect and the shower with chromotherapy, along with a comfortable hammock on the veranda of our room, were the cherry on top... relaxation guaranteed. We spent a pleasant weekend with the family in total relaxation.

We stayed with a group of 3 friends at Il Sambuco Innamorato, finding an environment of refined eco-sustainability and friendly cordiality. Ideal for a relaxing period in the harmony of the Monferrato hills.

Dear reader, \nNice and clean holiday accommodation, friendly people. \nWe definitely recommend this location. \nAs far as we are concerned, breakfast is very limited (for example, no eggs, no brown bread,...) and very monotonous (the same every day). \nSwimming cap for the pool! Not of our time, but they will have their reasons. Not mentioned on the website...they ask if you have a bathing cap...of course not...then you can use one (in my case completely worn out...no more elastic, probably already borrowed a hundred times)...for which you have to pay afterwards! It's not about the money, it's about the principle. \nKind regards.

stayed from 07/21/2021 to 07/24/2021

The answer from the host:
Good evening Jan, I am sorry that the breakfast we offer was not to your liking, the breakfast we make includes the best Italian and local products, as for the eggs there are not because the Italian law does not allow us as B&B to cooking for customers, if she had told us when she was here that she had different needs, we would certainly have satisfied her. We have many people from all over the world and all with different needs and habits we try to do our best but if we are not told what you want I unfortunately cannot know I'm sorry. As for the swimm cap, he is right, unfortunately I forgot to report it on this site, due to Covid regulations it is mandatory everywhere in Italy. Unfortunately it came at a time when I had the last one and I was waiting for an order that was supposed to arrive, I lent her 2 of our swimm cap and a new one which is the only one you paid for (€ 3), certainly I don't charge for used swimm cap, if there were any errors, please report it to me and I will return the money. We continually ask customers if everything is ok but if the different needs are not expressed, it is difficult for us to be able to satisfy you. Kind regards Elena.

For our mini honeymoon, we chose this Bed & Breakfast, enticed by the beauty of the structure, from the photos that showed a relaxing and harmonious setting, what can I say, once there reality exceeded the already positive expectations! If you have stress, problems, or anything else, leave it outside that gate because inside there is no space for this but only for yourselves! Thank you Elena, thank you Luigi, you will be our refuge from everyday life! A hug, Carlo and Michela.
