Lovely but be proactive about how you check-in
Our room (Chicago) was a spacious, clean, and welcoming suite, overlooking the streets of Crema and facing a church (note: bells begin around 7am). The decor blends modern comfort with traditional Italian charm, highlighted by wooden beams and doors opening to a picturesque view.
Do take care with rugs on wooden floors, as they can slip easily.
Breakfast, delivered to the room, was excellent—a generous spread of fresh fruit, bread, croissants, jams, juices, tea, and coffee.
B&B San Clemente is perfectly located in the heart of Crema, just steps from shops, restaurants, and historic landmarks. Fans of Call Me By Your Name will enjoy nearby filming locations, and the train station is only a 15-minute walk.
Be aware: Access can be tricky if you arrive unannounced. Confirm your arrival time as instructed in your booking, as we still waited outside about 15 minutes despite doing so. Unlike hotels, you cannot simply walk in. Once checked in, the host was warm and welcoming. We were also given a different check-out time than listed on our Hotels.com confirmation.
Overall, despite a couple of small points to improve, our stay was delightful. San Clemente is an excellent base for exploring Crema and a highly recommended choice.
