Cascina Rodiani - Green Hospitality

Samuel is an excellent host and the farmhouse is a stunning place to stay. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Delicious fresh local produce for the meals, welcoming staff, and excellent recommendations about local sites and restaurants. The area is also beautiful from every angle.

The best place we have stayed in Italy. Samuel is a thoughtful and hard working host. Breakfast on the terrace was a delight, and a hastily prepared lunch when we arrived early was much appreciated. Clearly, much hard work has gone into making the Cascina the place that it is today.

Delightfully restored building with comfortable and spacious rooms. Good simple ecologically sourced food. Samuel makes one feel a very welcome guest in his home. Looking forward to the natural swimming pool on our next visit.

We discovered Cascina Rodiani, from the Sawdays website and made our first contact with Samuel by email via Sawdays. It is a delightful old beautifully restored farmhouse high up a hill above Como. Everything about our stay was excellent and relaxing, including a lovely dinner and superb breakfast. Samuel and his wife are excellent hosts. We had a large comfortable bedroom with a modern bathroom with large walk-in shower. How delightful to sit in the early evening outside looking down the valley with a glass of wine before the delicious dinner. A small criticism is the price of the wine €18.

Everything about this place and the hospitality is wonderful. The setting, even in deepest winter, is memorable. Samuel and Mimma have restored the property with enormous enthusiasm and sensitivity. The plentiful food is simple, traditional Italian, but beautifully prepared with the highest quality ingredients, much of it locally produced. Rooms are very nicely furnished, spotlessly clean and well-equipped. If pushed, the only improvement that we could suggest would be a little stronger lighting in our bedroom.
