The story of Bibò

A house, a family.

Before there was the B&B, there was still a B&B: the Sundays, the cake made at the last minute, the extra chairs. This house has been collecting guests for three generations.

Erminio e Rina

Named after a term of endearment.

“Bibò” was the nickname of grandpa Erminio and grandma Rina: two mispronounced words that, in our family, meant tenderness. They lived here all their life: three children grown up in these rooms, grandchildren running through the living room.

Now it is your turn to stay

Erminio and Rina hugging in the sitting room of their home, between the old television and the pictures on the wall

The family sheet

Three photos and a story, written at home.

Nobody wrote Bibò's story for us: it is that sheet right there, with the grandparents' photos and the text the grandchildren used to pass around the table. All we did was put it in order.

Three children grown up in these rooms
The grandchildren: the family name that stayed
The house the grandparents bought, and never left
The B&B that carries their name

The family sheet with three photos of Erminio and Rina and the text telling where the name Bibò comes from

“Bibò were Erminio and Rina, who held hands all their life and kissed before every meal. This was their home, where they raised three children and their grandchildren with the same love.”

It could only be dedicated to them ♥

And from here, onwards

The house goes on.

Today the rooms are called Alba and Tramonto, and the guest in the next room quickly becomes one of the family.
