Omg! What a most fantastic fabulous place this is!
We LOVED the house, it was beautiful, large areas, A/C was perfect, sofas were so comfortable we both fell asleep wondering if we really had to move to the bed… bed is actually amazing. I hadn’t slept that late in ages! I could have spent my whole day sleeping 🙌☺️
Huge kitchen table and everything you need, yes espresso coffee machine, yes tv, yes wi-Fi, yes Amazing Hosts, yes huge balcony, yes hot water, yes beautiful view!

The buildings are beautiful, the art displayed is amazing,

And oh! The breakfast is out of this world! I had never been to an hotel where you get plenty of fruits and veggies and juicing machines so you get to create your own blend, then plenty of breads to choose from, amazing cheeses, fresh tomatoes, there was so many different things i could not taste them all✨

If we’d have known, we would have stayed many more days!

The staff was so kind! We loved all the animals and being able to roam the property. The zebra just walks right up for petting! The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we've ever had - fresh fruit/veggies drinks, homemade bread, eggs to order. So thankful for this stay! Our only (really, just 1) improvement would be the beds were too squishy so it felt like getting out of a couch. So, we didn't sleep great, but everything else was over the top amazing so 5 stars!

Lovely place to stay

My family and I had a lovely experience staying at La Cucchetta. We only stayed for one night but I would recommend this accommodation for a weekend or longer.
The grounds and the views of the lake are spectacular, and the staff is lovely and friendly.
I will book again if I have the chance to go back to the area.

Fantastic spot for kids + horses & great breakfast

Unique bed abs breakfast, located in a huge mension, with horses, cats, dogs (even a zebra!) you can meet wondering around. The kids loved it! The breakfast is also fantastic, and the price is very fair, especially compared to the Dolomites or the Garda area. Staff was very very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended!

The most relaxing, beautiful B&B ever

This place is absolutely amazing. We stayed here after a long trip touring various cities. It was such a nice end to our Italy trip to relax. Our weather was not great and it had just turned cold, but we enjoyed wandering around the farm watching the horses and taking in the incredible view of the lake. The hosts, Terrance and Fernando, were the absolute nicest people and made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was so delicious with fresh orange and pear juice. Fernando makes the best french press coffee you will ever have! FYI - The guest houses are up a narrow and windy driveway and it would not be feasible to walk into town so either rent a car or prepare to call taxis. The Red Beef restaurant in Dormelletto was one of the best meals we had in Italy, highly recommend it!

The bathroom was too dark. Impossible to see how clean it really was. The shower box was open which caused a big mess EVERY SINGLE TIME. Since the floor was “rustic”, water puddles formed all around the toilete bowl. Come on!

The sheets and towels were clean. The mini fridge was not working properly.
When we checked in there were three coffee capsules for 2 adults, for 4 nights of stay. The horses are just to be watched. We could not get close.

Pictures online were deceiving in our case. We expected more.

Vi kom derop i en stor tesla, der også kunne lade deroppe.

Wir haben aufgrund der vielen guten Bewertungen hohe Ansprüche an die Unterkunft gestellt. Diese wurden sogar noch übertroffen. Wir hatten noch nie eine so außergewöhnliche Unterkunft.
Die vielen Details hatten es mir schon bei der Buchung angetan. Vor Ort war alles sehr sauber, hochwertig und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir waren \"leider\" nur einen Tag auf der Durchreise dort, aber haben es sehr genossen. So ruhig und idyllisch. Die Kinder konnten sich stundenlang mit den Tieren beschäftigen. Es gibt hier neben Pferden noch Hunde, Katzen, Vögel, Schafe und sogar ein Zebra. Man kann vom Gelände auch direkt in den angrenzenden Naturpark laufen.
Das Frühstück hat mich beeindruckt, da es - obwohl nur so wenige Zimmer vorhanden sind - sehr große Auswahl vorhanden war. Es gab neben diversen Backwaren noch 4 verschiedene Kuchen (schmeckten selbst gebacken) und eine Auswahl an Wurst, Käse und Aufstrichen und vieles mehr. Eier (und Speck) werden auf Bestellung frisch zubereitet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall irgendwann mal wieder.

The location is a one and only thing that is really beautiful in its details. Just wow. Waking up within this location is so beautiful. Also the view to the lake is amazing.
The rooms itself are really big and are luxury. But I need to say that the actual state (at least for our room) for furnuture (sofa couch) and also bathing area has reached its age.

Propriedade deslumbrante. Reservei apenas para pernoitar e fui surpreendida com um lugar incrível, uma vista deslumbrante para o lago. O meu chalé era maravilhoso. Melhor hospedagem que passei pela Itália. Infelizmente, oferecem apenas café da manhã, pois minha vontade era nem sair de lá para fazer refeições de tão lindo é o lugar. Parabéns aos proprietários.

Location Bellissima

Struttura bellissima immersa nel verde e con tanti animali che girano liberi intorno . Contesto antico a tratti fiabeschi che ti fanno staccare proprio la spina . Unica pecca il freddo, le camere con soffitti alti forse più di 4/5 metri e col pavimento in mattoni su terrapieno non possono riscaldarsi decentemente se hanno dei piccoli termosifoni. La temperatura più alta che abbiamo ottenuto con il riscaldamento al massimo è stata di 17 gradi. Cmq ci torneremo In primavera o in estate perché merita davvero !

Juste parfait... What else ?

Excellent, parfait... une suite de rêve dans un cadre de rêve ! Les décors reflètent les passions des propriétaires pour les chevaux, pour l’art, pour l’histoire séculaire du lieu... visiblement une dynastie d’éleveurs de chevaux de courses. Le petit déjeuner est à la hauteur des décors. Le personnel est attentif, sympathique et efficace. Les prix sont tout à fait abordables. On sent que la priorité des propriétaires est de partager l’émotion du lieu.

Bref... j’ajoute volontiers une sixième étoile !
