We spent two weeks at C'era Una Volta and it was the most relaxing beautiful time. The weather was perfect and the pool a warm 28 degrees, but cool enough to relax you after an active game of ping pong in the garden! The B&B is well equipped and the hosts are eager to look after you and your every need. They are like family to us now. We visited the beautiful Santuario d'Oropa and the local via ferrata climbing venues, all easily accessible via quiet roads and quaint villages. Biella is a great town, within walking distance, with fashionable shops and a nicely paced night life, plenty of amenities but also very easy and small enough to get around. As with much of northern Italy, I recommend insect repellent if you are attractive to them like me, but not everyone in our party was affected. C'era una Volta with Graziella and Carlo will be in our hearts forever x…

Dear Jo, many thanks ("grazie mille") for what you wrote. Really understand that you and your family like our house and all our territory. Also we were very well with you, and really we consider you as "family", About the climate, in those days was the hottest of recent years, and this brought advantages (the pool water was pleasantly warm) and some mosquito in addition, as in the rest of Italy. But it wasn't a problem, as you yourself say. A big hug to all of you, English friends! Graziella and Carlo.

Dear Ala, thanks for what you write about us. You and your family were pleasant and interesting friend-guests, and really we had a good time with you. You told us that you will come back in a near future and we'll be happy. See you soon, then! (with a special greeting to your sweet Viola).

Without doubt the best place we have stayed at by a long way!!! The most friendly and best organised hosts, charming and faultless! The house is perfect for a small family - a nice big pool and close to the interesting areas of Biella ( a piazza with reasonable pricing and the main local brewery) . Biella itself is well organised for (but not full of) tourists with opportunities to walk, climb, mountain bike and visit vineyards, the tourist office has a full set of maps and leaflets for these activities. The hills around are the lower slopes of the alps, with family friendly walking in woods and along streams, if you fancy something different there is even a few easier "via ferrata" including a super river gorge only 20 minutes from the house. Another "must do" is Biella gelateria (out near the autostrada) - world award winning ice cream. All in all Italy at it's best - beautiful country and super friendly people. mille grazie Carlo e Graziella…

To host Jonny and his family was nice, interesting, fun . A special family : cheerful , witt, sports lovers, full of enthusiasm . With them the time has flown by . We are proud that they have chosen Biella for its beautiful places to climb. On their return after their climbing in our mountains we found time to get together and chat . The two daughters also danced on the lawn to our joy. Lovers of Italian greediness , in Biella they found everything nice: our places, our beer, ice cream, local products. As you often said, "mille grazie, Jonny, for your stay in our B&B". Jonny and his family love Italy and will surely return in search of other beautiful things to discover.

Graziella and Carlo are the most welcoming hosts I have encountered in my travels. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and to help you enjoy your stay in Biella. The B&B itself is well-appointed and spotlessly clean. They provide an abundant breakfast and Graziella is keen to adapt it to the guest's dietary needs. Their property has a vast garden, pool and barbeque with a beautiful view of Biella. It is also very close to the medieval section of Biella from which you can take a tram to the central of town. Biella is off the main tourist track but it has many attractions such as the Santuario d'Oropo, Burcina Park and the Ricetto di Candela. Also, in the center of town is Mosca, a gastronomia that is one of the best in all of Italy. I highly recommend this B&B and visiting Biella.…

Grazie James. Tu e Lisa siete stati ottimi ospiti, corretti educati e cordiali. Noi cerchiamo sempre di trattare l'ospite nel miglior modo possibile ("like friends") e la nostra soddisfazione è apprendere che egli si è davvero sentito trattato da amico. Di voi abbiamo anche apprezzato il vostro amore per l'Italia e il desiderio di conoscere non solo le grandi città note in tutto il mondo, ma anche luoghi meno conosciuti ma ugualmente interessanti e pieni di fascino: come Biella, dove speriamo tornerete in uno dei vostri prossimi viaggi. In quel caso, passate a salutare i vostri amici Graziella e Carlo.

I felt totally at home thanks to both the beautiful style of the apartment and the friendliness of Graziella and Carlo. They went out of their way to find me breakfast that suited my needs. I look forward to returning again very soon.

Visited this fantastic B&B together with my family for two days. We couldn't have had a better stay and the hosts made us feel like home (but with the best service, better than from a five star hotel 😉)!! All the best of recommendations. We will definately come back!!

Caro Goran, amico della lontana Svezia, a distanza di qualche settimana, ricordiamo sempre con grande piacere la visita della tua bella e numerosa famiglia (in modo particolare il tuo simpaticissimo nipotino). Le foto che ci hai inviato ci aiuteranno a rivivere le belle ore trascorse insieme, come se ci conoscessimo da sempre. Un abbraccio a tutti, da Graziella e Carlo.
