My wife and I stayed at La Marasca for two nights in November of 2005. We have different opinions about it. I like it very much for the quiet, convenient location, comfort, privacy, and the helpful, friendly attitude of the owner who,lives overhead. My wife thought it was a bit too casual and not up to snuff on furniture quality. I am going to Mantua alone next year and intend to stay at La Marasca again - she does not want to return there.
