This was a lovely evening. We were warmly greeted and had a Proscecco in our hands before we knew it. The meal that followed consisted of several courses displaying southern Italian cuisine - the gnocchi was amazing as well as the duck dish. Dessert was a beautiful panacotta. To finish off the evening we sat in front of a crackling... More

My girlfriend and I had booked to stay two nights but extended to three! This place is like being at home but 5-star! Don't understand the negative reviews? Our room was sunny, fresh flowers and super clean and the hostess, Alison, was really welcoming. We had dinner the second night... about five courses of bruschetta, shared antipasti, meatballs and a... More

We booked for dinner at Villa Gust after finding their restaurant in the good food guide, and were really looking forward to dinner after reading their website. I arrived at the restaurant around 7.20 for the 7.30pm sitting, upon arrival I rang the doorbell and after almost 5 minutes the door opened to the waiter (possibly the owner) he just... More

We could not have been luckier when booking our first stay in the Alpine region at the wonderful Villa Gusto. How often does it happen to two Italian immigrants to spend a lovely weekend in an Italian villa surrounded by some of the most beautiful gardens we have ever seen, and to find out that the owner was an undercover...

We were greated nicely on arrival, showed around the room and encouraged to take a look around the property. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the place, coming and going as we pleased. We booked the degustation dinner in the restaurant for both nights. Received excellent & friendly service along with great food & a very good range of fabulous... More

The "excuse me are you lost?" look we recieved on arrival was an instant turn off. The room was cold on arrival and smelt damp and mouldy. The towels may be 900gsm but also smelt mouldy and stale. The spa was dirty and had hair in it. Cobwebs hung freely over the fancy italian artworks and under cupboards. And breakfast,... More

Beautiful location, great restaurant with excellent service and food, attractive and spacious rooms and a delightful host. What it needs to make it into a perfect week end retreat is a guest lounge. The only other criticism is a lack of heating and attention to detail in the bathroom

Stayed for a Thursday night on the way to Melbourne. Great degustation dinner, excellent breakfast, congenial host and staff, relaxed ambience and top accommodation and grounds. And on top of that you will fall in love with the cat, Fellini. KeithH
