My wife and I stayed at La Traversina with another couple as a stopover and it turned out to be one of the most pleasant visits of our trip. Check out their website--just Google it--to get a bit of the flavor of the place, which is lots of humor and enjoyment of life. It's well off the beaten track, but... More

My husband and I were at La Traversina for a few nights in September for our honeymoon, and it was the best place we stayed during our 3 week trip. With Rosanna and her family you feel like a dear old friend is welcoming you. We got a room with a kitchen, intending to cook while there. The room was... More

Run don't walk to La Traversina! Rosanna and her extended family are most gracious hosts. We stayed 3 nights and regretted having to leave. And you must dine with them. The food is freshly prepared using vegetables from her own garden. The aperitif made with rose hip syrup is outstanding. While we were there, we dined with guests from six... More

This year we stayed with Rosanna and family on our way out to Italy rather than on the way back to Scotland. In August La Traversina was busier with b&b plus self catering guests but the service and attention was as good as ever. I don't know how Rosanna manages to find such a wonderful selection of people but we... More

Our first nights of our recent trip to Italy were spent in this charming & welcoming but peaceful home.Rosanna & Domenico were delightful & we instantly relaxed. The sumptuous morning & evening meals,wine & conversations with them & their friends will never be forgotten.We decided on leaving to return & did so a couple of weeks later when we were... More

Great and friendly hosts in this VERY QUIET location. Remote, but still close enough for daily trips to visit the region's beautiful sites. We would definitely come back. They have the best wine- you have to try it! And you have to see their dog! (or was it a rug?)

What an honor to be invited to stay in a home filled with love, laughter and wonderful hospitailty. My reservation was for two nights and quickly extended to six. Rosanna, Dominico and their family make this a special treat. Dinner is family style and one evening we had guests from three continents with six languages all enjoying the language of... More

We read about La Traversina in an issue of Budget Travel just before we departed for a trip to Italy with a cruise to the Greek Isles. It is locate between Milan and Genoa and if you have a car a great quiet spot to stay, with friendly family like hosts, Roseanna and Domenico. There is an optional dinner each... More

This was not my first trip to La Traversina - I first stumbled on this mountain side paradise some seven years ago and keep returning. Nestled in the hills above Stazzano, just 40 mins from Genoa, this 300 year old farmhouse is run by Rosanna and Domenico as an agritourism - which means that it is a rural business and... More
