Quinzano d'Oglio accommodation from NZ$118

The property is beautiful and the staff are friendly. While the location requires a car, many lovely sights are just a short drive away. The breakfast selection is good and regularly topped up, though the service is entirely self-service (including seating) and feels impersonal. Some non-inclusive items are available, but they are very expensive, which discourages ordering. Our room needed some maintenance. Parts of the floor tiles were coming loose, posing a risk of cuts, so we had to keep our toddler in footwear at all times. The bath taps were stuck and unusable; although the separate shower worked, it would have been nice to run a bath for our child. We reported this twice but received no feedback or repair. The wall plugs were also quite loose, requiring extra care. During our stay, two weddings were held. The first night was very loud, with noise directly outside our window, resulting in poor sleep. The manager apologised the next morning and explained it was unusual, and thankfully the second wedding was much quieter with no disturbance.

Booked the hotel to stay for a weekend when Cremonese were at home until they changed the fixture to the Monday. Booking an extra nights stay was easy and the hotel were very accommodating. Having driven, there was ample free parking in the vicinity of the hotel plus the hotel had its own underground secure car parking that was inexpensive. The room was clean and functional and there was plenty to choose from the breakfast menu. Staff were polite and helpful and if you are interested in football the US Cremonese team assemble at the hotel the day before so you see your players milling about.

Lovely hotel and room with balcony. In a quiet part of town. About a 15 minute walk to a local supermarket. The room would benefit from a kettle to be ale to make a drink, but there are some vending machines on the ground floor for snacks and drinks - cash only.
