Our weekend at your beautiful Andiamo could not have been any more perfect - from the ambiance, the delicious dinner on Friday evening and the cooking class and dinner on Saturday evening, to the time spent meeting you and getting to know you and the others! Thank you for providing a great experience for Scott to celebrate his 65th birthday - it is one we will always remember.

Your passions and talents are evident in all details at Andiamo - your sense of style, your gift of entertaining with the freshest most delicious food and amazing cocktails, the bedding, the music, the decor - all left me inspired!

We look forward to returning in the near future!

Fondly,

The breakfasts were outstanding as was the service and attitude of Colleen and her husband Chef Steve. They also provided tasty hors d’oeuvres and wine (and a full bar). Everything was fresh, fresh, seasonal, creative. Andiamo is much more than a B&B and I recommend it highly.”

“The English language simply lacks enough superlatives to describe our recent Andiamo experience. Everything about our stay at your charming inn was nothing short of excellent, wonderful, fabulous, warm, inviting, cozy, delicious, thoughtful, stunningly beautiful, witty, accommodating, pleasant beyond description, and delightful, along with every other compliment imaginable. I would only change the amount of time we spent with you and Chef Jason. Three days was clearly not enough. To merely say that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves is a gross understatement. “

-Jimbob and Betty Jo

“Staying at The Andiamo is like being a guest in the lovely home of your most favorite friend with impeccable taste and incredible culinary talent.

The attention to detail …. from the personalized decor of each room with stacked stone fireplaces and Italian linens…. to the exquisite  breakfasts consisting of local fare … to the fresh, inventive cocktails served at sunset on linen cocktail napkins adorned with funny quotations alongside gourmet nibbles … the Andiamo truly lives up to its motto of “Let’s go.”

“That favorite friend… that’s Colleen Duffley, owner and host.  Her warmth and hospitality envelope guests from the moment of arrival.  Colleen’s creative genius is evident throughout.  You can’t help but be inspired by her passion and talent for curating experiences unique to each individual guest.  She says you arrive a guest and leave a relaxed, chubby friend.  

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous 25th anniversary weekend and look forward to a return visit soon.   Thank you to Colleen for creating the Andiamo Lodge.  It’s top notch in every way!”

Lovely visit in your wonderful abode! Such a nice, wonderful place to visit . Thank you for taking such good care of us. The food was Fabulous!!
