I had a lovely stay at Villa Amanzi, which felt more like a castle than a guest house. The spacious rooms and stunning views of the lake made my visit enjoyable, although there were minor issues with the dining service. Overall, the warmth and kindness of Audrey and her team made this a nice experience.
