We just booked our second visit to Villa Bernese, we loved it in 2014 when we stayed for the Wine Glass Marathon. The breakfast was absolutely stunning, and Tony & Marianne are just the most pleasant and kind hosts. We stayed in the Jacuzzi suite last time and will be in the Valley View this next visit in October. I can't wait to see this room! Everything about this place is tasteful and inviting. Highly recommended.
If we could give Villa Bernese more stars we would. An absolutely beautiful setting and home, and Tony and Marianne are the most gracious and considerate hosts you will ever meet. The location is a perfect home base for visiting the Corning area and the Finger Lakes. And when you return in the evening you can relax on one of the decks with a glass of wine and enjoy the views. Marianne is a phenomenal cook, and the breakfast she serves is beyond description. Marianne and Tony, we look forward to returning next year and would not even think of staying anywhere other than Villa Bernese. Thanks for making our visit so special. Greg and Cindy Kosty
The best bed and breakfast place. We were a bit skeptical going for a b&b in a small town, hesitated even when about to enter the premises. Quickly found our fears were unfounded. A very lovely European couple owners welcomed us in at the door. Served wine on the deck overlooking the valley, a beautiful site. The room was well furnished and very comfortable. Made friends with the two other couples who were their repeat guests. This will be our go to place to stay when we are in Corning.
Loved our stay at the Villa Bernese!! Tony and Marianne were gracious hosts, who took special care of us! From the incredible gourmet breakfast to the genuine friendship we developed....this was top notch!Rooms: 5/5
We just came back from our second stay with Marianne & Tony- this time for 3 nights. They were wonderful hosts, breakfast was homemade and delicious, and we were sad to leave. It felt like staying at a friend's house; we will be back!
my gf and I have been to dozens of b&bs and the breakfast here is the best by far. nothing else is even close. the decor is gorgeous. we stayed in the jacuzzi room. biggest bathroom we've seen in a B&b. And the hosts are as friendly and sweet as you can find. if you are into b&b don't miss this gem.
Tony & Marianne were extremely accommodating. They quickly responded to all of our calls and e-mails and made us fell welcome. The perfect stopover for a long drive from Maryland to Niagara Falls. Will definitely look them up again the next time we're up that way!Rooms: 5/5
The Villa Bernice is, to put it mildly, absolutely unreal, one of the two or three best B and B's I've ever used. The hosts, Marianne and Tony Spycher, treat you like family in every way; you have full access to the spacious living room and decks at all hours. I wish I had taken photos of the breakfasts Marianne prepares, rhubarb pie, apple pancakes, quiches... and always sausage, bacon, and scrambled eggs...as much as you want! . The view is lovely, the surrounding forest is open and inviting....and you are only 5-10 minutes from Rt. 17 . My 18 year old son, with whom I was traveling to do some hiking, was flabbergasted, and we have traveled together all over the country, using Band B's whenever possible. Before leaving home he assured me that it seemed like a really nice place; after experiencing the warmth, caring...and breakfasts to die for, he couldn't stop thanking our hosts when we left. As to their not allowing dogs, this place is immaculate, and their grandchildren spend a lot of time there. I am asthmatic, and while I love hiking and wildlife, dog hairs on the sofa or in the air are things I can do without. There are plenty of other choices for those with guide dogs; this is, after all, someone's home, not a hotel! Of course, dirty boots and sneakers are welcome here; the Spychers do expect that many of their guests like the outdoors Tony is a rock climber . I could go on and on about the camraderie and totally relaxing feeling one gets here, but I think I've made my point.
Felt I was pampered more than any hotel could ever achieve. Greatest breakfast ever and didn't even eat lunch as I was still full from breakfast!!! Owners are special people who truly care and are focused on making your stay spectacular.
Such a wonderful bed and breakfast. Out room was fantastic and the hosts just so nice. The big star of the stay though was definitely the huge breakfast
