My girlfriend and I drove around Liguria and Piemonte for a week, and this was far and away our favorite place. Monica is extremely nice and fun to hang out, even serving a delicious breakfast every day. All of the rooms are very tasteful - it feels like you're in an old castle, but as warm and cozy as an...

Dolceacqua is a charming and picturesque little town, and our stay here was made even more memorable by staying at Talking Stones. This really is a special place. Monika has done a beautiful job tastefully, and thoughtfully renovating the B&B. We also had a beautiful meal at Osteria dell'Acqua Dolce. Highly recommended, we will be back!

We just returned from Dolceacqua and stayed here for 2 nights. What a wonderful B&B. The interior is all stone like the exterior and so charming. The room was the top one just under the roof terrace. The room was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed, a sofa and a very modern bathroom. Breakfast was also more than adequate. Monika... More

This summer my girlfriend and I decided to take a 4 day trip to somewhere in Italy we knew little about. We found out about Dolceacqua through alot of googling. It seemed like an idyllic little town with enough surroundings to see for a weekend. We chose the bed & breakfast, Talking stones, for our stay as it looked like... More

We found Monika's place last minute while online between flights in an airport. The name of the place pulled me in immediately. It was a wonderful surprise. Of course nothing is an accident, so we found this little gem and the proprietress to be very interesting, accommodating and charming - a true reflection of the town and the history of... More
