Hotel Morimondo — Hotel in Morimondo

Morimondo is a delightful village, and seemed just right for an overnight stop on our way to Liguria. The hotel was pleasant, probably a renovated village farmhouse. The overall impression was rather sparse, but quite acceptably so. This also fitted the price (€81 for B&B).||The real disappointment was breakfast. Lying in bed at 7 o'clock, I could smell the bacon frying, which seemed a good sign. But when we came down at 9, the bacon and scrambled eggs had clearly been kept (just) warm for over two hours.||Nonetheless, they were the high point of the breakfast buffet. Everything else (brioche, cakes, etc.) were stale. The only bread available was a few slices of incredibly dry white "toast" bread.

I had a pleasant overnight stay here on my way between Tuscany and Switzerland. It is ideal for a short stay in a quiet and charming rural town with a historic abbey very close to the hotel. The rooms appeared newly renovated within an old converted barn and were clean and spacious enough. The value was very good at only £33 for bed and breakfast. There was an excellent bar in the same square which brews its own beer, and is clearly very popular with locals. I would, however, echo the criticisms of other reviewers about the quality of the breakfast. There was a very small selection of items available, and the only bread was very unpalatable sliced white bread. Surely they can do better! However, this did not mar a pleasant...
