“La Fattoria presents a compelling blend of countryside tranquility and Italian culinary artistry, particularly appealing to couples seeking a quiet escape. The spacious, clean rooms and the owner's attentiveness stand out; however, some may find the parking, complicated by the popular on-site restaurant, a minor inconvenience. It is a place with clear strengths that, with a bit more refinement, could easily elevate the experience further.”

The room was very spacious with everything needed. The location was rural, so it was quiet. The Italian restaurant downstairs provided excellent food..
I stayed for a few nights and the tea and coffee facilities were not replenished. I also noticed that there were no clean towels . The waste bins were not emptied and the room was not cleaned either.
