more than just a stay

Welcome to
La Mugletta

The most important facts in brief

Otium between a hundred hills

Who visits La Mugletta arrives. In a wild flowering garden in the middle of the Euganean Hills, in our B&B, which blends quietly into the Paduan landscape, and hopefully within yourself. Because slowing down is a sensual principle here – from the meditative view of Monte Rosso to the regional cuisine in homemade bowls…
B&B La Mugletta combines understated architecture and the most beautiful nature, elegantly relaxed living with atmospheric open spaces, deep tranquillity and indulgence writ large. A place of longing to be happy – between drifting and discovering, for body and soul.
Come to rest – we look forward to seeing you!

Ulla & Eberhard

About your hosts

When we met many years ago, Ulla already had one foot in Italy. After about a year of commuting, husband followed wife, and we settled at Monterosso. The Euganean Hills with their varied nature immediately cast a spell on us and the small village of Monterosso has been our home ever since. La Mugletta was a turning point that closed our busy schedules and gave us new space for our passions. While Ulla gives free rein to her creativity in her ceramics studio or conjures up cakes and jams, Eberhard devotes himself to beekeeping and bread baking. Anyone looking for us will usually find us in the kitchen or in the fruit and vegetable garden.
La Mugletta for us means being in the here and now, in the middle of this beautiful nature. A place to come together or to be alone, to grow and feel good, to create and share. Preferably with our guests!

Testimonials

"The time we spend with family and friends every year - since 2019 - at La Mugletta with Ulla and Eberhard has become a fixed point in our annual vacation planning and we can't imagine life without it. We love it and simply feel completely at ease. There is always something to discover and there is simply nothing missing. The hosts, the breakfast, the location, the house, the rooms.... couldn't be better for us - a vacation for the soul. Thank you very much."

Grit Weickl

"All the comments describe this architecturally and scenically wonderful place exactly right. There is nothing to add. But the whole thing is supported by the uniquely warm manner of Ulla and Eberhard. Their pampering program, starting with the excellent breakfast, with the delicious ingredients from their own garden and of course the sensational home-baked bread and the many tips. It doesn't get any better than this! We are already looking forward to seeing you again."

Bärbel and Christoph

"La Mugletta is a beautiful place with wonderful people! The elegant, quiet atmosphere, the excellent breakfast and of course Ulla's fantastic pottery make the stay very special. We highly recommend it."

Kristine Miller

"The trip was absolutely worth it. What a beautiful place. The house is simply stunningly beautiful with so much taste, it could hardly be better. The two hosts Ulla and Eberhard are so welcoming, you feel right at home and are so spoiled with the fantastic breakfast, much of it freshly prepared from their own garden, the mega fine bread from Eberhard.........and, and, and. Simply great, beautiful and friendly. Highly recommended!"

Christina Schuthess

"We stayed at La Mugletta for 6 nights in August and have never been so pampered as with Ulla and Eberhard. It is unique. Just as the hosts are unique. We will definitely be returning to this special place again soon."

Andrea Keller

"Without exaggeration: That was one of the best vacations! You know how you get in touch by email and notice how the attitude and character of the writer is already apparent between the lines... That's exactly how it was with us... From the very beginning I had the feeling that this must be a very special place with very special hosts. And so it was! Ulla and Eberhard have created something very special here. The property - yes, it's not just an architecturally outstanding house designed by local architects, it's a spacious property that opens up as soon as you pass the large entrance gate ... no, nothing pompous, harmonious, quiet charm, and yet somehow driving up to the house gives me a sublime feeling ... I'm moving in here, were my first words when we entered this so tastefully designed house and the view from the terrace fell on the Colli Euganei. Magical. I don't want to write a novel here, so I'll keep it short. The rooms left nothing to be desired: quiet, can be darkened, VERY comfortable bed, super clean, lots of storage space and always fresh flowers from the garden ... just like the rest of the house. Breakfast - just great and so lovingly prepared by Ulla and served in homemade crockery ... the host bakes himself, makes the honey himself, the eggs come from his own chickens, every time it's different, it's actually a brunch ... there is a small selection of fine cheeses (have you ever tried gorgonzola with maraschino cherry) ... fresh and wafer-thin sliced local ham from the butcher ... homemade jams ... be sure to try the mulberry jam, fine cornetti from the best patisseria on the square .. specially marinated vegetables and and and, oh yes, and then the delicious fresh fruit salad. All of this is made even more special by the authentic warmth, generosity and reserved attention of the hosts Ulla and Eberhard, whom we have since taken to our hearts. And then there is the special landscape. The area is breathtaking. And Padua is only 20 minutes away, as is Vicenza; Venice is only 50 minutes away by train. And Ulla is very happy to share her tips on 'what to see, what to do and where to eat' on request. We'll be back and many of our friends are planning to. How many stars can I award here? Definitely all plus so many more. Thank you dear Ulla and thank you dear Eberhard."

Sylvia with son Paul

"Dear Ulla, we would like to thank you very much for the unforgettable stay. We really enjoyed the beautiful house with the opening to the garden, our comfortable room, your unique breakfast, the relaxation corners in the garden and the steam bath. Your restaurant tips were always helpful, as well as the tips on walks and attractions. Being able to have a delicious coffee on the terrace at any time was very relaxing. We would love to come back."

Iris and Matthias

"We visited La Mugetta in March 2025 and stayed for 3 nights. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the property and the generosity of the hosts. I can only recommend trying the apero cena dinner.... Ulla and Eberhard whipped up an incredible meal for us and it was the perfect way to get to know the area and their B&B after a long flight. We were interested in cheese and they helped us organize an unforgettable tasting at a nearby dairy. Both Ulla and Eberhard took a lot of time to help us via email with tips to make our trip truly memorable. The breakfast .... was also unforgettable I miss it! I love that the eggs come from their own chickens and are served on plates that Ulla has prepared herself. ..... The honey also comes from the farm, as do the vegetables and fruit - that's a very special element of sustainability. We also made use of the special spa on the first floor - that was an added bonus on top of everything else. And finally, our daughter fell in love with the donkeys - so much so that we are now thinking about keeping donkeys on our property. La Mugletta is special because Ulla and Eberhard are special. And we can't wait to visit this incredible place again in the future."

Tania & Chris Coke

"This is such a beautiful place - the architecture, the view and the surroundings. What is simply wonderful are the breakfasts. Everything about this accommodation is a real treat. It is made with so much love and is so good. Thank you! We will be back."

Joanna Dudley

"Dear Ulla, dear Eberhard, We thought long and hard about how we could express our satisfaction, enthusiasm and gratitude for the week we spent with you. Actually, we can only agree with our "previous commentators". We are grateful that a tip from friends brought us to your house - and we have no regrets about vacationing with you and in the hills and places that were previously unknown to us. It's also nice that the area is not yet overcrowded and overrun. We felt very comfortable in your modern, spacious and tastefully furnished house and with your warm hospitality. We are also grateful for the suggestions for excursions, art and history, restaurants and, last but not least, wine and olive oil (which will now probably last us for a few months). We will gladly remember you and your house and - if you don't mind - recommend it to others."

Scharfe family

"Dear Ulla, dear Eberhard, thank you for a wonderful time at La Mugletta. Thank you so much for the wonderful breakfast with ingredients from your own garden, which we were able to enjoy every morning. You have inspired us to prepare a special breakfast every Sunday, an "Ulla and Eberhard breakfast". Of course, Eberhard's honey, which we were lucky enough to bring home from our vacation, is also on the table. The bowls and dishes we made ourselves are also a must. Many thanks once again to Ulla for the wonderful pottery afternoon. The children still talk about it enthusiastically today and are very proud of their creations. We also have fond memories of the many wonderful excursions. The area has so much to offer and thanks to you we were able to explore it in a relaxed and uncomplicated way. Our two children were particularly taken with the private gondola tour with Maurizio, which Ulla organized for us on the side. Every evening we looked forward to returning to the Mugletta to enjoy the peace and quiet, nature and the wonderful view from the terrace or the salotto. Our little dog also felt at home in the truest sense of the word. The extensive property offered the perfect conditions for this. We would therefore very much like to return to La Mugletta soon..."

John family

"A vacation home where you feel "at home" after just a few hours. The quiet, clear architecture of the house, the large, rather wild garden, lots of seating inside and outside - a little paradise for us and our four-legged companion. The breakfast is simply wonderful, especially Eberhard's home-baked sourdough bread. Thank you for a wonderful week!"

Brigitte & Urs

"Surprise!!! A few days ago I had a wonderful time. I was looking for a place at the foot of the Euganean Hills where I could spend the night. A dear friend recommended La Mugletta to me. So I spent a fairytale night, with the gentle sound of the forest enveloping this enchanted place, which is well cared for in every respect. The building, constructed according to the rules of nature, overlooks the expanse of a lush plain. The owner, a cultivated, sensitive person, offered me a charming breakfast. I recommend this place to all those who love fairy tales, originality and attention to detail."

Diego dalla Palma

"La Mugletta is an absolute place of longing. We spent some wonderful days there. Ulla took good care of us with her great breakfast and unerring tips. Mille grazie!"

Heike

"Simply wow! Rarely have we been to a place that has been so lovingly and sympathetically designed. The hosts welcomed us with an open heart and gave us lots of tips for restaurants and places of interest. A special highlight besides the architecture of the house - the breakfast. Farm to table and different every day. Ulla even offered us a ceramics course, which took place in her studio in the house. A wonderful experience all round and we look forward to another visit."

Liz B.

"La Mugletta's hospitality, style, attention to detail, location and surroundings are second to none! Ulla and Eberhard are wonderful hosts and this starts even before the visit via email contact. Breakfast and the excellent "Apero Cena" are culinary highlights. Absolutely recommendable! We'll be back!"

Veronika G.

"Crazy house and very nice host family. We felt right at home. Apart from the numerous other compliments, the charming Eugenian hills were unexpectedly pleasant for us and perfectly complemented the Renaissance villa architecture. In addition to the wonderful fresh breakfast, I was particularly impressed by Maggiolina the cat. Never before have I seen such an untrainable and freedom-loving cat that didn't put a paw inside the house with its fantastic barrier-free exterior and interior spaces! We'll be back."

Ulrike B.

"A truly wonderful place with incredibly nice hosts. The breakfast alone in the great ambience is worth the trip. 1000 thanks to Ulla & Eberhard for the fantastic week at La Mugletta. We want more and will definitely be back."

Catrin & Kay

"Family vacation, August 2023 Many thanks dear Ulla and dear Eberhard, it was once again fantastic and very relaxing. 3 generations and one roof. Everything can, nothing must. You can stay out of each other's way, but you can also spend wonderful hours with the whole family. You have made 10 days possible for us this year. We enjoyed it and can only recommend you to others."

Bianca Metzen-Wuest

"IT WAS LOVELY 🙂 An exceptionally happy week in an exceptional house with exceptional hosts, who were always on hand and provided us with the cleverest tips. We will never forget this time and will always carry it in our hearts. THANK YOU"
