Balconi san Giorgio offers two room types, both with a private bathroom fitted with a bidet and toiletries, a coffee machine and free WiFi. The main difference lies in size and capacity: the Double Room with Extra Bed is the largest, at 37 sq m, with a balcony offering town views and a view of a local point of interest, designed to accommodate up to four people thanks to the extra beds. The Deluxe Double Room with Shower, on the other hand, is more compact at 26 sq m, designed for two people, with a dressing room and parquet flooring.
Both options offer quality bed linen, a wardrobe or closet, an electric kettle and heating, in a small-scale setting with the artisanal care typical of lakeside bed and breakfasts. Cots or extra beds beyond those already set up in the room are not available.
