After a 24 day cruise we wanted to be away from 2000 people before flying back to Boston. We found the peace and tranquillity in Villa Clementina. Only 7 rooms, off-season, just us and 4 other people: perfect. From the moment we checked in to our departure we felt we were staying in someone's private villa. Candles lit along the walk to the small, intimate restaurant with fireplace, more candles and classical music made this stay also very romantic. The grounds have cozy areas to sit, lined with statues, sloping to a beautiful big swimming pool (with very cold water late October) and tennis court.
The staff couldn't have been nicer, welcoming and accommodating. With suggestions from where to walk, restaurants in town (we visited 2 excellent ones, Pane & Olio (lunch) and Taverna (excellent dinner with wine and food suggestions (fresh porcinis) from the young woman-owner) the museum castle in town, the Italian Air Force museum, to medieval towns along the lake (all musts when you're there). Good size room, big armoire for hanging, two drawers on bottom. Very comfortable bed. Big bathroom, very good shower (with curtain), high toilet, heated towels (nice touch). Nice buffet breakfast with fruit salad on request, juices, boiled eggs, cold cuts, great croissants and sweets. And cappuccinos of course. Dinners were very good, simple compared to the Taverna in town, but nobody has the romantic setting as Clementina. All in all a very pleasant visit, we highly recommend this hotel.
