My husband and I spent Sunday night on the Barkissimo, and I believe that it was the best time I've ever had in a hotel/B&B.

recommend this as a change of pace from the usual bed and breakfast -- a unique experience with a warm welcome, homey, off the beaten path, albeit a bit unusual, houseboat b and b a great idea, good cooking, great cozy spot, recommend this if you're up for something a bit different -- enjoy!
