Delizioso , cibo fantastico, un piccolo bistrò dove iniziare la giornata, con colazioni ottime, sia dolci che salate. Ci è piaciuto tantissimo, abbiamo fatto li ogni colazione del nostro soggiorno! Gentilissimi i proprietari.

We came here mainly for the scones after having seen it mentioned in so many reviews and have to say we were a tiny bit disappointed. The scones are not served warmed up (even after request) which makes the texture just feel dryer than it should. Butter and jam provided are not sufficient for the entire scone either. It's still 4/5 experience as the eggs benedict was great.
