The location is perfect (with a quick access to the narrow old town streets, but still a hassle free entrance to the car park from the other side of the house). Our host was incredible, although we had a language barrier (we didn't speak Italian) she managed to communicate everything with a translator app. All our questions were answered and we got loads of useful information as well. The rooms had character and the place felt loved. It was really a lovely stay. The breakfast was also exceptional. a special thanks to returning one of our jackets (that we forgot in the room)! would definately recommend this to anyone looking for a special accommodation in the old town, in an old building - with a perfect hostess

Oh my word, what a little gem this place is. We originally booked as it was a convenient location en route from Italy to Switzerland, but were really impressed with Ovada and its lovely historic centre. Best of all, however, was staying at La Corte. We received the warmest welcome from Giancarla, who went out of her way to make us feel at home. She is such a star. The room was perfect ...a little quirky and different, and super comfortable and clean, which we loved. Secure off-street parking was a bonus, and the breakfast was superb. We hope to return next year just to stay here again. Highly, highly recommended

Nothing

A room with HUGE character. Nothing modern about this accommodation, it has so much more. It is a very old building which has been decorated and restored in a ‘period’ way. It was amazing to see how imagination and a creative flair has transformed this property into a masterpiece. Our very romantic room was decorated with murals on the walls and ceilings, vases of large roses sat aside candles in the old fireplace, the old door leading to the toilet within the room had had its glass panel painted gold with braiding around the edges, the claw bathtub in the room had beautiful gold taps and pretty curtains - so much detail that it would be impossible to describe all the little touches. It really was an experience which led us to feel we were in a fantasy bygone era. Our hostess, who spoke not a word of English, was a delight. No words were needed to feel her warmth and welcome. We had secure parking for our car on one side of the building and we walked out the other side and immediately found ourselves in the centre of the old town. These old European towns always capture our interest and Ovada did exactly that. A few paces from our apartment we ate a superb dinner at L’Antica Farinata. A very informal restaurant and setting which offered fabulous pizzas and inexpensive pricing. All in all, our stay in Ovada afforded us great memories.

Absolutely nothing to grumble about.

This is a beautiful B&B with so much love and attention to every detail from the handpainted walls and furniture to the specially selected crockery and breakfast sets. All set within a lovely courtyard, private and peaceful in the centre of the town. The owner could not be more pleasant, kind and generous. She gave me recommendations and suggestions and made sure we found the place easily especially as we had a car so we could park in a specially designated area in the back of the property. I loved it and I loved this special town which is so artistic with trompe l'oeil and artistic flourishes all throughout and across the buildings. I hope to return another time in the future.

The room itself was quite nice, with a rustic feel. The WC is separated from the rest of the room by means of a sliding door, while the freestanding bathtub type is in the bedroom. Since the room is not facing the street directly, it is very quiet. Giancarla is a very hospitable host, and even though she only spoke italian, she went out of her way to help us understand her. All instructions were straightforward. She gave us 3 keys so that we'd unlock: the main (road side) gate, which closes at night, the house entry door, the room door. The bed sheets smelled really fresh and clean. The room is heated via wall-mounted radiators and they did their job.

The breakfast could have been better, especially considering the overall price of the room. No options for the lactose intolerant, can't really consider pizza a breakfast option. Why were the boiled eggs missing?

In spite of the fact that we did not share a common language, the hostess Giancarla could not have been more helpful. The B&B is in a lovely, old historic house right in the centre of Ovada. Could not be more convenient for exploring the town centre. Everything was done with great taste. The room was delightful and spacious. Very quiet. We would certainly stay again

Our car SatNav had a little difficulty guiding us to the address. Perhaps written guidance on the website might help. Otherwise, we had absolutely no other problems.

Wonderfully decorated room in a genuinely old building in the center of Ovada. Giancarla is a lovely person, warm and friendly. She produced a super breakfast with all sorts of Italian goodies. We loved it. The house has private parking - also has an entrance onto one of Ovada's central streets, so really convenient. We would suggest taking a detour to enjoy Giancarla's wonderful property and her great hospitality.

Nothing - everything exceeded expectations.

We spent a few dream days in Ovada, an early spring helped us to have an even more pleasant stay, doubled by the warm welcome of the host. Giancarla is a wonderful host who stays by your side regardless of questions, spoils you with goodies at breakfast and with whom you can share impressions about the area at any time.

The location was fabulous, right in the middle of the historic town. The whole place smells good and fresh. Breakfast was really good with bread, foccacia, pastry, yogurts, cereals,... Great host. Parking spot within the property.

We stayed at the very top (3 floors) and the stairs seem a bit narrow,

The location was fabulous! Right in the middle of the historic town with it’s quirky shops. The interiors are well decorated, almost like part of an old movie setting. Giancarla makes sure you feel at home. She is genuinely such a nice person.
