Nonna Milli

"Our stay was wonderful. It all started with our host Elia who was warm, welcoming, helpful, flexible, and an all around great host. The house is beautiful, the details are incredible. The space is very comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out without feeling like an imposition. It was comfortable and warm. Elia picked us up at the train station, made us a delicious Italian dinner with many ingredients from the garden and talked to us while he cooked. A great experience. Breakfast was delicious before a tour of the garden and a ride back to the train station. 100% would stay here again!"

"Aucun."

"We stayed at a few places in Japan that were described as traditional Japanese accommodations, but Elia’s home was by far the most authentic one. The room is beautifully decorated with a lot of attention to details. Elia and his wife are gracious and very helpful hosts."

"Aucun."

"Elia is super nice and helpful, the house is 60 years old but it was so well renovated and maintained that I thought it was newly built! We had the best night of rest after 2 days hike in Nagano. Super host with super comfort, we plan to come back again and stay longer next time, there is so much to explore and to do around the area!"

"Elia was an amazing host, who went above and beyond at every step. He and his wife have a fantastic home, and it was the most beautiful location I have stayed in in Japan yet. He's also a professional chef so even his breakfast was delicious, and his garden in the back was superlative."

"There is nothing I would change except to stay longer."

"Had a great stay with Elia and Yurie! They also picked me up and brought me from the train station. The house is a traditional Showa era home with beautiful tatami flooring. They also gave me some great recommendations for places in Matsumoto. If you need to recharge this is a great place. Having a bike was an amazing way to get around and see the surrounding area and city. Bedankt voor alles! En helemaal voor de fiets!"

"Aucun."

"Imagine a home-stay on the outskirts of a city in Europe, then transpose to the highlands of Japan, in a traditional Japanese setting with beautifully renovated rooms. Very friendly service and informative/accomodating hosts, you also get to enjoy a continental breakfast before taking off for the day to see the wonders of the Nagano region."

"Best to go with your own car/bike to give the best mobility and access to town etc..."

"All round excellent place to stay - beautiful, clean house and a helpful host."

"Google map of the house was not accurate, which is around 5-10 meters further AND on the other side of the street. We arrived after dark and it took us a good 10min to find the right house."

"Elia and Yurie were wonderful hosts! It was lovely to stay in a traditional Japanese home with beautiful, clean, and comfortable bedding and rooms. They are very welcoming -- even going above and beyond to let our children explore their lovely gardens and let my husband take early morning work calls in their living room so that we could keep sleeping! Thank you for having us."

"While conveniently right on a bus line, it took longer to get into town or to any food / grocery shops than I had anticipated. As a foreigner, I had a hard time contacting a taxi without a Japanese speaker's help -- which Yurie was happy to do, but it made the coming and going trickier than I anticipated."

"Nonna Milli was incredible- the beds were exceptionally comfortable, especially as Elia and his wife had them custom made for extra thickness. We woke up more comfortable than when we went to bed! The house is so beautifully kept and restored, with everything so well thought out- it felt very special staying in this house being our first time in Japan. Everything was immaculately clean. Sharing the bathroom was no problem at all, we didn’t even feel like it was a shared bathroom it was always available for us. A highly memorable experience in Matsumoto!"

"Nothing, everything was wonderful."

"Very authentic Japanese home stay with lovely couple that made us feel welcome. One of the best futon on tatami mats for comfort (although a little short for someone over 5’10”) that we’ve had. I would definitely recommend this stay for anyone wanting an authentic Japanese style tatami experience"

"Parking on a slightly busy road was tricky and the walls are authentic paper thin- cool for authentic experience but not at all sound proof"
