Hotel Ristorante La Torretta — Restaurant in Bianzè

We arrived just as staff were clearing up after a big Sunday family lunch. No-one seemed to be expecting us, despite us having reserved well in advance, and eventually someone with a little understanding of English arrived to check us in. We were asked to pay the modest €50 for the room there and then, which was no problem, and were then shown across the courtyard to our room on the first floor.||||The room was spotless, with air conditioning for which we were thankful as there was a bit of heatwave at the time of our stay.
