The way to the property can be better

Nice environment and peaceful

Stayed in December 2023

the only thing was a lack of hot shower in the evenings after our walks but they assured us this was a small fault that was rectified.

the setting was amazing. the accommodation was clean, comfortable and lovely to come back to each night. we liked the nearby restaurant with its delicious food and the walking trails too.

Excellent location

The mountain road to the accommodation can be daunting for those who are not used to Italian mountain roads. The wifi could be stronger, and mosquito nets on the windows would be appreciated.

Very beautiful and cozy place on the hills. The apartments have been converted from old stone houses. The view is amazing. A restaurant is also part of the building ensemble.

The cobblestone pathways are not the easiest things to navigate, especially with luggage, but we did not consider them a negative - in fact they greatly enhanced the charm of the property and we were so fascinated by the workmanship.

Totally immersed in nature on the side of a mountain, this is a little slice of heaven on earth. Superbly restored, this delightful property, whilst a little way from town, is perfectly situated to take advantage of the natural beauty of the valley and access the many walks right from it’s doorstep. The restaurant is exceptional, and we saw many locals coming to eat as well, but as tourists we were warmly welcomed and felt immediately relaxed. Francesca is the consumate hostess, professional but also absolutely down to earth; and behind the scenes in the kitchen, Ivan prepares top quality local fare - everything we ate during our visit was delicious.

The road in is a little rough and passing anyone could be difficult.

The location is excellent if you are looking for a quiet retreat. The restaurant was very good and the little houses restored well.

This is one of the best Stays I had during my vacation. Decided to go here by fluke but it turned out to be a very beautiful property- perfect for a quite gateaway. The room was spacious and clean. The windows are so well designed that you can look out to the mountains and the changing sky colors forever. The owner and his wife were very considerate to serve us breakfast before their usual time. I would have loved if the restaurant was open on Tuesday for dinner - but that’s a minor thing - good thing is I got to know about this in advance and could arrange for alternate arrangements.

The adjacent restaurant (not run by the La Tensa guesthouse) was a little pricey for what we ate.. We only had two courses and a bottle of wine and it was still the most expensive meal of our 10 days in Italy. Due to the location it’s sort of inevitable that you’d eat there but there may be better value in the town.

The location whilst being a bit off the beaten track is absolutely stunning, the circuitous drive up from Domodossola became insignificant on reaching the property. The views are amazing and the restored buildings beautiful, still appearing to be built using a dry stone walling technique.

nothing. All good! A car is need to reach the hotel.

the location and view are amazing. The atmosphere brings you back to the 17th century, but with the conforme of 21st century! The osteria in also great with very good staff and food.

We had our own breakfast so eee don't know how the coffee was. It would be much more nice if there is an oven and a dish washer, but for a weekend it is enough.

kitchen layout was awkward, I bashed my head twice on the extractor hood and washing up was difficult as sink was in a corner under cupboards

It is nicely located, friendly people and beautiful views.

The beds were pretty uncomfortable and it could get quite hot at night. Having a fan in the room would have made sleeping much more enjoyable.

Everything was really wonderful with the property itself. Beautiful view! Friendly staff! Great food! Cute cats!!!!

Our stay in agriturismo La Tensa was wonderful ! The room was exactly as we wanted it to be : quiet, comfortable and well equiped. When we arrived, everything was ready, we had been given all the info necessary before our arrival so the organisation of the stay was really simple. We ate at the restaurant of the agriturismo and it was really good and hearty. Same for the breakfast ! I recommend this agriturismo 100% because it is quiet and comfortable.

Mosquito screens in the windows and a fan would have made the stay more comfortable. But overall, this was a wonderful place to stay.

This hotel is a beautifully restored village that has been converted into a charming B&B. The views are incredible and there are many hiking trails through the mountains to nearby villages.

The private patio was in direct sun. No coffee in the room. Restaurant could have been a bit cleaner - we had to ask for clean crockery and cutlery on occasion, and did not offer alcohol free beverages, except soft drinks.

Friendly staff. Dogs are welcome. Quiet location. Restaurant on site which was convenient, as well as access to dining options in Domodossola, 20 minute drive away.
