We stayed from 7th to 9th February 2018, here, at this beautiful Bed and Breakfast, during the 68th edition of the Sanremo Festival. Upon arrival in the city, we turn on Google Maps in the car, which leads us through a particularly steep road, but already allows us to savor a splendid location, with a view of the sea that is rarely experienced. After about 10 minutes, the difficulty of the drive is quickly forgotten at the sight of “Shakira”, a beautiful horse, who welcomes us with its big eyes. Right after, we are greeted by Vanda and Luciano, the two owners: very kind, capable of making us feel at home, without being too intrusive or too falsely welcoming. As many have highlighted in the reviews I saw before booking: grace and courtesy are the adjectives that distinguish their service. We immediately take some photos in the garden, impossible to resist. We enter the room, meticulously clean and characterized by antique yet essential and modern furnishings. A large beautiful window allows us to see a spectacular landscape early in the morning, between the hills of Sanremo and a crystal clear blue sea. A small detail that I loved: bathrobe and towel elegantly folded on the bed, with a lavender flower delicately placed on top, making you immediately want to smell and wear them. Also, two cute colorful cups on the desk with tea, coffee, chamomile, and bottles of water, all free: not a trivial detail. Large and bright bathroom, with a beautiful glass shower. After working in the chaos of the Festival, it's a nice feeling, believe me, to come back in the evening to such a quiet and well-kept place, away from the noise, but functional being very close to the center. In the morning, a plentiful and delicious breakfast prepared with care and love by Mrs. Vanda greets us. Wonderful to eat a croissant on a wooden table next to a gigantic glass window, through which morning thoughts get lost. What can I say, it's hard for me to find a Bed and Breakfast so meticulously cared for in every detail. Exceptional value for money, considering the period during which we booked: I tell you the truth, I was super happy and satisfied when I heard our colleagues say they spent 200 euros per night in horrible hotels, even though they were in the center in 5 instead of 10 minutes. Thanks to the two owners for their sweet welcome. We wholeheartedly recommend this Bed and Breakfast, which I wish also served lunch, dinner, snack, and aperitif: joking aside, I have no advice, except to keep up the good work and always stay updated, in order to make this structure more and more famous. Oh, I forgot: brand new TV and free wifi, but why am I telling you this, when you have such a spectacular setting around you.
