New B&B opens near Lake Milton, Berlin wineries

BERLIN CENTER

People visiting Lake Milton and Berlin Reservoir and the wineries near them have a new and convenient overnight lodging option available to them in rural western Mahoning County.

The newly opened establishment is the Bella Fattoria bed and breakfast at 14560 Ellsworth Road in front of the Mastropietro Winery.

Translated from Italian to English, Bella Fattoria means “beautiful farmhouse” and accurately reflects the location of the bed and breakfast in a 19th-century farmhouse, where an open house will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday.

The Mastropietro Winery, owned by Dan and Marianne Mastropietro, also will be open during the open house.

Each of Bella Fattoria’s three guest rooms has its own private bath, smart TV and fireplace. The house also offers free WiFi.

Two of the guest rooms, a backyard deck and an upstairs sitting room overlook Mastropietro’s vineyards.

A ramp makes the first-floor living room, dining area, deck and guest room handicapped-accessible.

The Mastropietros sold the farmhouse to Bob and Brenda Hernan, who operate the bed and breakfast and market it as a destination for a romantic getaway or celebration of a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.
