Hey from Marina

Member since May 2011 | 47,070 hits
After 25 years of work in chaotic Milan, in 2007, with my husband Gian Luca and our daughter Carlotta, we decided to move to a small hamlet in Bobbio, an art city in the hills of Piacenza where our vacation home was located, which in the distant past was a border house.

After careful renovation in 2008, we opened our B&B and two years ago we added the apartment, which occupies the southeast part of the house.

Here we are surrounded by nature, the sounds that can be heard during the day are some agricultural tools passing by to go to the fields and at night the sound of silence. On sunny days, the sky is turquoise and the nights are starry. I would never tire of sitting by the pool on one of our sun loungers reading a good book or waiting for a shooting star.

I love living here, each season has its own colors, its own scents, and its gastronomic recipe: at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, mushrooms, which are abundant here, fried, with tagliatelle, in salad; at Christmas, Bobbio-style snails, and all year round, tortelli, agnolotti, and Bobbio-style maccheroni, for those who love pasta, this is a must-stop.

Of course, every now and then we also take a break and then off for a vacation by the sea, in the mountains, in some art city, it doesn't matter where, for me, it is important to travel, to get to know new cultures, traditions, and people.

We await you,
Marina, Gian Luca, and Carlotta.

Wonderful bed and breakfast in stone near Bobbio. We were sleeping in the Torretta, a comfortable and spacious apartment with a living area. Gianluca, the owner, is available, present but never intrusive, and provided us with excellent advice for visits, roads, and places to eat. The pool is a plus. The Italian breakfast is basic.

Unfortunately, many expectations were not met. A pool was advertised on the website that we would have liked to use with 33 degrees, but unfortunately it was not yet operational at the end of May, they could have informed us during the reservation. Breakfast was described as "abundant", but consisted only of the usual dry Italian toast + jam. The coffee creamer packets were expired and dried up for months. Particularly annoying: the landlord was not seen throughout breakfast, so guests had to figure out how the coffee machine worked on their own. The room was quite small, there was not enough space for a three-day stay with the corresponding luggage. Overall, the value for money was not particularly good, if the expected comfort had been there, we would say that the price was appropriate.

If you want a quiet place to stay, a stone's throw from Bobbio in the heart of the beauty of the Trebbia valley, this is a good option. Very helpful managers for providing information and everything else, cozy room, found very clean, and all around peace and silence. Large beautiful garden and a very pleasant small pool. Varied breakfast, served 'single portion' due to Covid guidelines but complete with everything needed for an Italian breakfast with good quality products. Overall a valid choice for a stay in tranquility.

For the third time in a year, we visited the B&B La Torretta. Already the second time, we had some doubts about the quality of the services offered, but this time it went really bad. We stayed in an apartment with a very nice kitchen, but it lacked basic items like dish soap, napkins, and dish towels. There was a low-quality microwave without instructions, so we had to move it near an outlet to at least heat water for tea. When we arrived at 6:00 PM (sic!), the room was not ready yet, and Mr. Gianni took 20 minutes to put the sofa cushions in the covers. The bed was so uncomfortable that it caused back pain (while in our first visit in a classic bedroom we had slept very well). The bed was not made, and the towels were not changed. Being a B&B, we expected breakfast, but at dawn at 8:30 in the morning, after unsuccessfully trying to contact the owners for an hour, we were told that the breakfast service was not available for those staying in the apartment, and we were not allowed to have breakfast in the common room with the other guests. After another half-hour of waiting, we were given a liter of long-life partially skimmed milk, a rehydrated orange juice in a carton, a piece of focaccia (why focaccia and not croissants maybe???) and two sandwiches. All this in a rude manner, with an extremely dry attitude. We paid a bill of 160 euros for two nights to the landlady, Mrs. Marina, who at least seems nicer than her husband, but who, in conversation, forgot to give us the receipt. It's a shame because the place is charming, but this management is unacceptable.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Elena, Mi sorprende la sua recensione così negativa visto che come lei stessa scrive era la terza volta che durante questa estate soggiornavate da noi e la seconda nell'appartamento. Se si ricorda, dopo il primo soggiorno in una delle nostre camere, avendo appreso dell'esistenza dell'appartamento alla seconda prenotazione ha chiesto lei di poterci soggiornare. Sicuramente gli spazi sono diversi, parliamo di un appartamento di 95mq, anziché i 25/30 delle camere nel B&B, che penso sia il motivo per cui lo chiede, io in quell'occasione sono stata molto precisa a dirle che il prezzo al giorno è uguale a quello delle camere € 80, ma non include la colazione. Ne sono certissima perché è la prima cosa che dico proprio per non creare false aspettative. Nonostante questo quando è arrivata, "dimenticandosi" del mio avviso, e per cercare di soddisfarla, le abbiamo comunque dato un welcome kit per la preparazione della colazione in autonomia e le abbiamo portato pane e focaccia freschi ogni mattina, il tutto senza maggiorazione sul prezzo dell'appartamento. Prezzo che sapeva e che prenotando ha di fatto accettato, perché allora lamentarsi dopo? La ricevuta, è stata data a suo marito, e lei era presenta, ma dovendo compilare l'assegno lui l'ha appoggiata sulla scrivania e lì l'ha lasciata. L'appartamento viene affittato normalmente per soggiorni lunghi quindi è attrezzato di tutto, frigo, forno, fornelli, tostapane, caffettiera, bollitore elettrico, lavastoviglie e microonde le cui istruzioni sono appoggiate sulla libreria. Aveva quindi tutti gli strumenti per potersi scaldare l'acqua per il tè e molto di più. Al vostro arrivo l'appartamento era pronto, mancavano solo le fodere del divano perché nella mattina mentre facevamo un controllo generale avevamo notato alcune fodere non pulite e abbiamo preferito lavarle. Immediatamente per farvi trovare un alloggio in ordine, non penso che i 10/20 minuti come dice lei possano essere il motivo di tanta cattiveria. Il letto nell'appartamento non viene rifatto, come lei già sapeva, visto che c'era già stata, perché non è gestito come le camere del B&b, e le salviette non vengono cambiate tutti i giorni in nessun B&B o appartamento del mondo, e questo viene fatto anche da tanti alberghi oggi giorno pensando alla salvaguardia di questo nostro pianeta. È' stata lei ha decidere di voler lavare le stoviglie a mano, non volendo seguite il mio consiglio di usare la lavastoviglie e prontamente le ho portato tutto quello che ha chiesto, ma non era un mio dovere, chi prenota gli appartamenti dovrebbe sapere che sono a carico dell'inquilino. Per concludere mi sento di suggerirle di cercare di capire prima di prenotare, che tipo di vacanza vuole fare, perché se lei prenota in un B&B il servizio che si deve aspettare e quello di camera e prima colazione con riassetto camera ogni giorno e cambio lenzuola e asciugamani ogni 3 giorni se il soggiorno supera appunto i 3 (questo è quello che dice la normativa che può leggere su internet). Se prenota un appartamento ha solo l'appartamento. Se invece per lei è determinante cambio lenzuola e salviette ogni giorno e servizi extra, per altro quasi sempre a pagamento, deve cercare negli alberghi a 4 e 5 stelle. So che in questo mestiere non si può accontentare tutti, e qualcuno potrà anche credere a quello che lei ha scritto, ma un lettore attento capirà che le sue rimostranze non stanno in piedi e che il problema non siamo noi.

First of all, La Torretta is a wonderful place: cool climate, beautiful and swimmable river, very clean and welcoming natural environment.\n\nSecondly, it is an exceptional choice for peak periods: tranquility, selected tourism, no crowds.\n\nTherefore, Bobbio is a very welcoming and interesting village and hosts cultural events of prime importance (during the week of August there is the Bobbio Film Festival with Bellocchio, a native of the place).\n\nLastly, La Torretta's structure is excellent from all points of view, price in line with the offering (even a small pool in the beautiful garden): highly recommended.
