Bar situato nel centro di Luino, a due passi dal Lago e all' interno dello storico Palazzo Barozzi . Bar con stile vintage e che si adatta al contesto . Aperto fin dalle prime ore del mattino è possibile gustare un ottima colazione o la sera un buon aperitivo... Sicuramente da consigliare .. la posizione è invidiabile.... Il mercoledì vi è bellissimo mercato e un giardino esterno bellissimo...

Un bar molto carino dove abbiamo potuto gustare un ottimo caffè. Locale un po' rumoroso nonostante fossimo all'aperto ...ci torneremo per la simpatia del proprietario

Waren an einem Mittwoch während des Marktes hier einen Aperol trinken. Der Aperol war sehr gut. Durch den Markt ist es allerdings nicht wirklich schön hier zu sitzen.

Einfach ein Muß, wenn man in Luino ist. Wir freuen uns jedesmal wenn wir in Luino sind auf ein leckeren Cappuccino etc., in schöner Atmosphäre, mit gut gelaunten Personal.
