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.

nice location, in the nature, beautiful stone house

no house cleaning for the entire stay

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.

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.

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.

amazing location, fantastic views and welcoming staff

the remoteness and quiet and easy access to walking routes

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

view

far from city centre

the setting, stunning views, friendly people.
