We have stayed at Balcone Fiorito Bed & Breakfast twice for several days and both times we have really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, and the breakfasts are excellent. There is also good "off-the-street" parking and high speed WIFI. Eleanor is a wonderful host who speaks English, Italian, and French fluently. She knows the area... More

We have just completed a week's stay at Balcone Fiorito and in our three month holiday, we would unarguably rate this hotel as the best we have seen for both service and comfort. On top of that, the hosts Eleanor and Adriano (as other reviewers have commented) provide an outstanding and really unique level of hospitality. They provided very good... More

The B&B she runs with her Italian husband and family is... More

We travelled Como - mennaggio (first night stay) and then passed to Sinalungo (Toscane). Two year later we did the same trip. This summer we discovered another piece of Italy. Balone... More

I have known the landlady for several years after my first visit back in 2009. When I came again in 2011, I didn't hesitate to stay at her bed and breakfast again. Beds are comfortable, there is ample parking space, good location and some excellent views. Most impressive is the level of service - freshly cooked breakfasts everyday - and... More
