B&B Le Gemme

This is a gem at the edge of the town not only because of the quality of the rooms and other facilities but more importantly for the friendliness and attention and flexibility and adaptability and generosity of the hosts Bettina and Mario. As is natural for the village everything is accessible with steep stairs and Le Gemme is no exception. This is the charm of staying and 'living' the village air. So, be prepared to climb stairs and be in paradise. Thank you Mario and Bettina for making our stay such a unforgettable experience. Jacqueline (France) and Minas (Canada). October 2024

Beautiful rooms, very clean, the bathtub was such a lovely thing after a day of wandering through the villages close by. The hosts are lovely and the breakfast very good (especially the home made jams and cake and the good coffee). The location is ideal next to the beautiful medieval Bridge. Every place has its imperfections and for transparency, I'll share the very minor things that some guests might find less enchanting but none of these kept us from having a wonderful experience. You have to walk up 20 or so steps to get to the room. This was not an issue for us but good to know for guests with limited mobility. The sound travels through the doors so you'd, want to be respectful to the neighbors and not make too much noice. During our stay, all three rooms were booked but the house was very calm at all times so this was not an issue for us. The hot water in the shower came and went, sometimes we had to wait a few minutes for the hot water to come back but this was not an issue either, especially not considering the very reasonable price per night. As mentioned, non of this took away from a great experience. Overall, this is one of the best stays we've had. We highly recommend this gem to other travellers!!

Wonderful hostess Bettina and her husband who have turned this B&B into a fairytale. In the beautiful streets of Dolceacqua. We felt really welcome here. Bettina serves breakfasts that you will never forget. Her own baked pie and dolces ... mmmmm :)
