Osteria Posse

The panoramic views are absolutely mesmerizing. The room we stayed in was clean and the onsite restaurant had great food. The staff was nice and helpful. There is free parking for clients and the pension offers free transportation tickets for those without cars.

Wow. This was a bucket list trip. Lavertezzo was better than the pictures. Osteria Posse & Pensione Posse are basically one and the same…. No frills Restaurant and Rooms. The rooms are modest, clean and cute. It is located walking distance to the famous waters and bridge and the local bus goes everywhere. If you want more then stay in Lacarno and bus it up for $2. Serena was a wonderful host. Greeted us when we arrived late, fed us homemade Gnocchi, spoke decent English, gave us free bus passes, so we got on and off. She told us where to hike and what direction to go. Two nights was great but could have spent a 3rd night to hike again, or lay on the smooth rocks and swim (water is cold). Guess we will have to come back.

Do not stop here. I’m not surprised that there are so many other bad reviews. There is limited choice of restaurant in Versasca and unfortunately this restaurant is looking to take advantage of it as most people only come during the summer holidays. The woman who runs this place is not only extremely rude but actively looking to swindle tourists. The worst part is that she has trained her two children to lie to customers on her behalf ... how much worse can the parenting get? Really despicable. If you’re reading this please think about the example you are setting your children.. My advice if you do end up here .. be very careful about the amount they are putting on the card machine and their reasoning for it (they will try and inflate the price (they quoted me 3.50 for a drink and then suddenly told me it was 7.50 for the same drink). They only back tracked when I called them out on it. We also tried to use the toilet and they were very aggressive despite the fact we were paying customers. Moneymakers not interested in providing service. Avoid avoid avoid!

Nous avons parqué notre voiture sur le parking du restaurant et avons visité les gorges avant de manger. En arrivant en ville, j'ai remarqué la contravention sur le pare-brise !!! Reçu 90.- d'amende à la maison un mois après. Quel accueil !!!!!
