The Experience
This is a family affair and long-term friendships may be formed. Anna’s interiors are immaculate, with oak beams, ancient brick floors, family antiques and floral fabrics – all kept spick and span. You have your own sitting room with a frescoed ceiling and the bedrooms are delightful. Original frescoes were discovered in the Sala da Pranzo (dining room), formerly a monastery refectory, during the restoration.
Enjoy the large garden and terrace and ground floor loggia. Anna’s dinners are regional and delicious, breakfasts include home baked bread and homemade jams, local cheeses and fresh yogurt made by Jacques. Cooking classes, wine pairing, and guided tours along the lake and through the countryside can all be arranged.
Clearly they pour their hearts into the operation and their enthusiasm is contagious. You are in a peaceful street near the town centre, off the beaten path yet perfectly sited for forays into Brescia, Verona and Venice. Lake Garda is only ten kilometres away. Historic and very special.

Bike tours for all levels (bikes provided) or just sit, read and relax in the beautiful gardens. An ice cream or an aperitivo in the main square is only 2-min walk away. Enjoy this truly Italian experience.

We just returned from an eight night stay at this wonderful B&B. Part of a 500 year old convent, the building is full of beautiful old details but has been lovingly modernized to make it very comfortable. Especially comfortable are the many outdoor places to sit and enjoy morning coffee or an evening aperitif. It is also conveniently located to get around the Lombardy region. The best thing about the B&B though, are it's hosts, Anna and Jacques. They go out of their way to make your stay special, offering wine tastings, cooking classes, and guided tours to nearby sites. Our stay was perfect.

Anna and Jaques made us very welcome and our few nights stay was a great end to our holiday, they really know how to host a B&B well. They provided us with good balance of family welcome and privacy. We had a delicious meal with them the night of our arrival cooked by Anna from her family recipes, and our trip to Patrizia's winery with them on our last evening was both fascinating and enjoyable. And thanks Jaques for the great breakfasts.

The neighbourhood
Montichiari is on your doorstep. Have a coffee in one of the many bars in the main square or an ice cream at one of the two gelaterias, Cremeria Mozart or Giada's bar. A two-minute walk will take you to Enne Bistrot - an excellent bistrot specializing in north Lombardian plates with a twist. Lake Garda is a 30-minute drive, Brescia, often overlooked, is lovely.

Introducing
Jacques & Anna Ducroz
Anna, warm, vivacious and multilingual, and Jacques, French and charming, returned to Anna's family home after travelling extensively. He enjoys competitive bike riding and she is a published author of over 20 books about history and cooking. Their shared passion is to welcome guests from all over the world for what they call "an Italian experience."
I had a wonderful stay of at Villa San Pietro. I did 2 cooking classes with Anna and a visit of surrounding villages with her and her husband Jacques. Anna is an excellent cooking teacher and it was great to share the meal with them, as if I was a family member. Perfect for a solo traveler! The B&B is beautiful: a historic house with a garden, in the middle of a cute non-touristic village. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a different touristic experience.
