On a big road trip from Spain through France & into Italy in a day, we searched on booking.com for a place to stay that had parking & a restaurant that wasn't too far off the main motorway. We found Albergo Ristorante Madonnina located in Cantello & enjoyed our first night back in our favourite country of Italy. With instructions where to park, in the large car park just across the road from the Albergo, we were warmly greeted & showed to our very spacious room. The Albergo is showing its age, but it was very clean & had everything we needed in the room. There is a restauarant within the hotel which again, we were made to feel very welcome in & were very well looked after, as well as enjoying our meals. A lovely quiet spot for a night on the road in a family owned & run Albergo.
