Hostaria Da Lino — Restaurant in Borgo Maggiore

Room 70 – 3rd floor, many stairs (50 plus) up a narrow staircase||We spent on night on our way from San Giovanni Rotondo to Venice, we had hoped to organize our luggage into small carry-ons in San Marino. Since the stairs were so daunting we carried our luggage up one flight and used a window sill and the floor to rearrange our luggage for the following day. ||The parking situation was very confusing. Purportedly the parking was included but since it was Wednesday and on Thursday there is a market, we had to move our car down the hill to the public parking lot and pay to park. We were told to only pay 1 euro but the ticket only gave us parking for an hour or two – we were concern and put more money in. ||The room was very simple with twin beds, a desk and chair, fridge and cabinet for clothes. Bathroom is renovated, the shower is very nice but the light near the shower is out. ||We could feel the springs in the bed, quite uncomfortable. Also uncomfortable was the neighbours talking and having breakfast (?) at 0430. There was apparently no sound proofing between their apartment and our bedroom.||Church bells ring until about midnight and there is some noise from the people in the square until about midnight – we didn’t find this overly bothersome.||The view from the room was ok and looking down the hill. We had a view of the market in the morning. ||Breakfast was fairly good, ham, cheese, breads, fruit juice, coffee and yogurt. ||All in all, I wouldn’t stay here again. It was, at...

Ho trovato per caso Hostaria da Lino su booking in offerta, neanche ci dovevo andare a San Marino, ma ho colto l'occasione al volo e ho prenotato la camera 40 gg prima ad un prezzaccio (€57 doppia con colazione, cane gratis). Ci siamo trovati benissimo. Intanto si trova a due passi dalla funivia, si può parcheggiare vicino sll'albergo e raggiungere San Marino in funivia. Con la "tutto San Marino Card", che viene rilasciata su richiesta al momento del check in, si possono avere grandi sconti su funivia, musei pubblici e privati, negozi e ristoranti. L'Hostaria sembra che sia lì da una vita, da fuori sembra un piccolo albergo ma ha una trentina di camere, alcune sopra il ristorante, altre nelle case di fianco. Ci ha accolto una ragazza davvero gentilissima, come tutto il resto del personale. Ci hanno riservato una camera più spaziosa perché avevamo il cane (ben accettati i cani in tutta San Marino), separata dalla struttura centrale. Camera molto grande, struttura un po' datata, arredamenti senza troppe pretese, bagno nuovissimo e bellissimo con doccia grande, acqua caldissima, tv, e tutti i comfort. Il letto era anche comodo, per me che sono abituata al mio materasso in lattice. Tutto molto pulito, non un granello di polvere - io sono allergica alla polvere, neanche uno starnuto. La colazione si fa nel ristorante, c'è di tutto: the, caffè, cappucino, toast formaggio e prosciutto, pane, yogurt, latte, cereali, marmellate, nutella, burro, succhi di frutta... La cena fantastica, come promesso dalle recensioni e come anticipatoci da un signore che lavora all'azienda promozione turismo. I prezzi sono nella media, come da tutte le parti, ma la qualità ottima. Abbiamo preso due primi, un raviolo con asparagi mi pare, che mi hanno detto buono, e linguine al salmone, ottime, con salmone zucchine e panna, ma la panna era talmente poca e delicata che dava la cremosità senza appesantire, il contrasto zucchine salmone azzeccato, e il salmone insaporito a parte, non messo così nel piatto. Due secondi, una tagliata con funghi che mi hanno detto fantastica, e una bistecca di tonno davvero favolosa, io una così buona non l'avevo mai mangiata, cotta perfettamente senza rimanere stopposa, anzi morbidissima, su un letto di valeriana e podomorino. Quantità giuste, non ci si alza con la fame. Due dolci, un sorbetto al caffè e una crema catalana che sembrava fatta in casa, densa e con il sapore deciso dell'uovo, buona, più acqua.Tutto per circa €65. Menù molto vario ed originale, prezzi nella norma ma ottima qualità e cortesia. Ci torneremo sicuramente, San Marino è davvero una favola, vorremmo tornare e...
