Riccardo Il Gelatiere In Novi ligure

18/05/2026: I stayed at this hotel for four nights as part of a bus tour and cycling holiday. The grounds were well-maintained and beautifully situated. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the owner was often present. The room was spacious, functional, and clean. The shower curtain was a bit of a hassle, but the shower had a great massage jet. Breakfast was good to very good; I missed having Bircher muesli, some vegetables, and real butter. Dinner was very good, and seconds were available for those who wanted them. I can highly recommend this hotel.

02/05/2026: I stayed at this hotel for a few days as part of a bus tour and was generally satisfied. The grounds are very nice, and there are two pools in the summer (although we were there before the season). The views are lovely, and the rooms, spread across small houses and the main building, were clean, tidy, and spacious. All the staff were very friendly. I deducted one point for the very limited food selection at the breakfast buffet and the sometimes tiny portions at dinner. Everything tasted very good, but there simply wasn't enough of it, especially for the men.
