Very helpful staff !" - "Absolutely beautiful hotel. The room was incredible." - "My daughter and I had the privilege of staying at Antico Dimora for five nights. We consider it a privilege because it is such an amazing place, filled with the authentic history of the palace and its period and yet, married to all the modern amenities and comforts of modern living. Cristina took great care and love in restoring her ancestral home and one cannot but feel welcomed and at home in this enchanted place. We thank her and her amazing team for their hospitality, their great attention to every detail and their warmth. I cannot close without also complementing their onsite restaurant. It is lovely and the food and wine selections were excellent."

Guest Reviews:
- "Excellent location. Rooms very clean and spacious. Staff at the hotel have been truly amazing, friendly and helpful." - "Outstanding service and friendly staff. Very accommodating." - "Beautiful location on the lake, and next to old center." - "The hotel is in the perfect location right in town: not far from the train station (we took a taxi because we overpacked, but could easily walk), directly across the street from the lake, and a short walk to the ferry boats. Check-in was seamless in a well-decorated lobby. The room was spacious, very comfortable, and very clean. We went to the restaurant for dessert and then breakfast in the morning -- both were enjoyable experiences with delicious food. Finally, all staff was extremely welcoming and helpful! They gave suggestions on how to spend our day in town to maximize our experience, kept our luggage safe after check-out, and even called us a taxi when it was time for us to head back to the train station."
