Piccola Torre Maison

Location and room and personnel are excellent. Stayed two days, couldn't make a better choice in Vigevano. I arrrived late in the night and had a special request and called in advance and the service was excellent and spoke good english. The deluxe room I took was really something to remember.

I spent two nights at this B&B in May in the Dimora del Teatro building. (The building next door houses the B&B's reception area.) My room was spacious and quiet. It had an unremarkable view of the courtyard and other buildings, but I was very pleased to find that I could park my car in the courtyard of the Dimora del Teatro. There appeared to be about 5 bedrooms in this building, all on the same floor. You are given a key to the courtyard gate. The rooms are one flight up once inside the courtyard, and you have a key to this door as well. Once inside, there is a small breakfast room. The breakfast is simple (yogurt and a croissant). Coffee, tea and biscuits are available at anytime. The bed in my room was a little hard for my tastes, and the shower was accessed by about 3 steep steps. This could be a little precarious for some older travelers. It is nicely decorated (modern). The location is excellent as it's very nearby the sites and main square but provides a tranquil place to stay. The rates are very reasonable. The restaurant next door, La Drogheria, (independent of the B&B) is good. The Leonardiana museum about Leonardo da Vinci is very good (with original sketchbooks and drawings - amazing).

Overall it was nice…do need more shelving or storage for personal items in bathroom. Front desk check in was helpful and friendly but when checking out cold and almost rude.
