B & B located in a quiet street. About 500 meters from the airport, no noise only 1 plane heard each day around 6am. Railway station 900 meters straight down the road. Start of the town center under the railway station & another 300-400 meters away. Leaning tower about 4.1km. Bus 3+ right outside B&B. Beautiful old world B&B with rustic furniture, good size high ceiling rooms, tight bathroom. Very good size small fridge. Comfortable bed. They do not like eating in rooms but all full use of breakfast area on the ground floor. The B&B booking platform does ask you to advise of arrival time, which we did not do as we are traveling all over Italy for 90 days & stop regularly so have no idea of our journey, on arrival at 1pm. They were resting, eating time, we did interrupt their lunch, but they were kind enough to book us in. Sorry. If driving, pull up across the road in the loading zone. Buzz in, unload, then drive around the block, about 1km stopping around the corner just before the Hotel across the road, unlock the gate & park, short walk to the B&B. The breakfast area has many old furnishings, a collection of miniature cars, some bikes etc. Breakfast is managed to limit the amount on show to guests to keep it fresh & is topped up as needed. Tea, English breakfast, coffee machine/ Two types of bread, toaster, croissants/ pasties etc. A couple of meat slices & a cheese slice. Jams, two juices. Apples, yogurt in the fridge & 3 cereals. A tart & a large cake. Two brother-in-laws manage the business, the one with short ginger hair is very good & helpful, setting up a great breakfast & offering coffee set up by 7.30 as they state. The second one with dark curly hair, more relaxed, on day 2 we arrived at breakfast at 7.50, nothing set up he arrived at 8am, started setting up offered no coffee as he was more interested in having coffee & something to eat. Not a good impression to guests. I would have given a higher rating if the short-haired friendly guy was in control, he was so helpful and made sure we felt at home. Different personalities between the two. I guess people book for two main reasons, Parking (our reason) & price as they have a very high booking rate. The garden areas are lovely, we sat outside & enjoyed a nice drink & nibbles. I also found the Beer fridge prices at reception very well priced.
