29/05/2026: My review will be different from the others, but I wanted to write one. Unfortunately, I didn't stay at this property because I was forced to cancel my reservation two days before my vacation. I booked through Booking.com, and just two days before my arrival, the reservation stipulated full payment for the stay in the event of cancellation.
I contacted the property by phone, and they very kindly canceled the reservation with a 100% refund—and, I repeat, two days before my arrival.
I'm deeply sorry I couldn't stay here; from my experience, I can see the kindness and professionalism of the people who run this beautiful agriturismo.
I hope to be their guest soon.
24/05/2026: Positive experience.
The photos are from this morning with the fireplace still lit (beautiful).
I'd start from the beginning, though.
We arrived yesterday afternoon after visiting the Certosa di Pavia (about an hour away on the main road). Is it worth it? I'd say yes. At reception, a lady greeted us and calmly explained the agriturismo to us and told us to wander around wherever we wanted to explore.
I'd say it was a good suggestion.
The pool (unfortunately, we forgot our swimsuits) is very nice, and some people even took a dip yesterday. There's a lovely park, and we saw where they keep the animals (geese and pigs). Overall, a lovely, relaxing experience despite the heat. Luckily, there were some benches (perhaps in need of some updating), but they did their job in the shade of the trees. The room was clean and tidy and was on two floors: the ground floor had a small living room and TV, with an adjoining bathroom with shower, a staircase, and an upper floor with an open-plan bathroom and bedroom. We dined there that evening. I believe it was a tasting menu. I'd say the quality of the food is beyond discussion; among the various tastings, the coppa was exceptional, and the first course with mushrooms was excellent. Unfortunately, I can't drink wine, but I could see the guests happily (lucky them) sipping and enjoying it. This morning, we had breakfast with a cappuccino (really good), but especially with the jams/compostellas (you can see the selection in one of the photos posted), which were described to us by a waiter and are all their own. I tried their cherry jam and blackberry compote on warm bread...to say they were both excellent is an understatement. The only downside I could find (though I still have to look for a needle in a haystack) was the parking. Here, too, like the parking lot near the Certosa di Pavia, gravel instead of asphalt. I don't know the results if it rains, but maybe I'm wrong. There are clearly visible signs where the management declines all responsibility for damage/theft to cars in their parking lots. In a context where we are surrounded by drones and cameras, perhaps 4 cameras, one per parking lot to monitor customers' cars, wouldn't be a bad investment (a small and impartial suggestion, debatable or not). Overall, a positive experience. Recommended.
