Locanda Le Macine Del Confluente In Taggia

This review is solely about the BUBBLE ROOM. I stayed with my husband and children in the bubble room. I booked online, and I didn't like the fact that the page stated that the pool was unusable until summer. It's true that guests can use it, but it's completely unclear in the "included" section, and considering the price, I'd say it's the least they could do. The location of the B&B and restaurant is stunning. Everything is well-kept, the brick houses, the lawn trimmed. Truly beautiful. We were greeted by the restaurant's maître d', a polite and friendly person who showed us how the gate to the garden where the bubble room is located and the air conditioning inside the bubble work. The bubble 'room' is made up of three bubbles: the first has an entrance with a sofa, the second has a double bed with a closet at the back (which contains towels, a teapot with tea and herbal teas, slippers, a hairdryer, and a bathrobe), and the third is the bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. Everything is transparent except for the bathroom, which is covered in white, so you can't see inside from the outside. There are NO curtains around the entire perimeter of the bubbles, only around the bed. The bubble is very tastefully and tastefully furnished, and there is air conditioning in the first two sections, but not in the bathroom. The main drawback is the presence of a lot of dust (this is absolutely unacceptable) and insects (you can work with it, but we're still talking about a structure without real walls in a garden, so I do NOT recommend the experience to anyone with a phobia of spiders, bedbugs, or various worms). Around the bubble is a small garden that looks quite nice, but could be better maintained. There are various tarps, poles, and random abandoned cables. Overall, it looks good; it would be worth the price if it had some special view. It's actually located in a garden enclosed by white tarps and wooden fences. Apart from the sky, there's not much to admire around. In the evening, the atmosphere is definitely more magical thanks to the well-placed lights. Breakfast is not included and costs €15 per person, but we knew about this because it was listed on the website. Overall, the experience was nice; for what I paid (€340), I would have certainly expected a little more care, cleanliness, and a minimum view. The last thing I found in terrible taste was when, handing over the keys to the bubble at checkout, I was asked if "everything was okay," and my response was interrupted with the phrase, "No, but I meant regarding the payment." What kind of manner is that? Furthermore, the lady then chased us to ask for the tourist tax (2 euros) while we were almost at the car. All fine, if it weren't for the completely wrong attitude. Not a smile, all you care about is money. Without asking customers how they enjoyed their stay, you chase them for two euros... if this is how they do business, I don't know if they'll go far. I went into a lot of detail in this review because when I was looking for information before booking, I didn't find much. I hope this comment can be helpful to anyone who's booking the experience, because let's face it, it's not exactly cheap. I should add that the location is in a mountainous area and there are several highly rated restaurants nearby, but there's not much else to do. I don't recommend this experience with children; it's definitely better as a couple.

Despite our special needs, we always appreciate the care and attention given to us by the owners and staff. A special shout-out to the maitre d' and a 10 out of 10 for the chef. Excellent Easter lunch. A heartfelt thank you from our friends in Sanremo. Scarella.

I don't even know where to begin. I think it is the most charming, cozy, welcoming place I've stayed. Nestled on the banks of a river in the hills of Liguria, this is a real gem. Fireplaces in the rooms, cozy Italian vibe that we must all be looking for in a small Italian village, spa, swimming pool, nature, and an INCREDIBLE restaurant on site for lunch or dinner, at great prices, and included buffet salty/sweet Italian breakfast. Very romantic, relaxing, peaceful, beautiful place for a getaway. And if you feel like moving (you may not want to leave the premises!), you're only a 15 minute drive to the coast where you can enjoy the sea, a walk by the beach, and all the beach side bars and restaurants. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Such an exceptional place that I went back within a month! The fireplace with everything you need to light a fire, the large room, the amazing bathroom... the tranquil atmosphere, perfect for getting away from it all and finding peace and quiet... What impressed me most was the service, the value for money, and especially the gourmet menu. There's a very talented chef. High-flying gastronomy at a very reasonable price. Everyone should try it! We also opted for the spa. It was absolutely worth it. It was magical. Best experience I've ever had. The cured meats and cheese spread was unbelievable, the view from the jacuzzi was so peaceful, private, and wild... Best find in a decade. Not an exaggeration.

A spectacular location, warm and inviting, blending the authenticity of historic and traditional structures with a touch of modernity. The staff, both at the reception and the dining room, were extremely professional and welcoming. Their manners were elegant, yet not overdone, something that is hard to find these days.

A place immersed in nature, dedicated to relaxation. The bubble room is definitely an experience worth trying. Watching nature move from inside the bubble, even at night, was truly magical.

Thank you so much for your warm welcome and kindness. We loved your dinner and your generous breakfast. See you soon!

We had dinner at the restaurant (we didn't try the rooms): very friendly and attentive service, excellent, high-quality traditional dishes, beautifully plated, and a good wine list with reasonable markups. The prices were reasonable for the restaurant, which is also very rustic yet welcoming. Highly recommended.
