A friend we were travelling with booked 4 of us here for 5 nights, so not sure what to expect. A very pleasant, family run business with on-street parking (we were told that you could park within the hotel area at extra cost but the space is restricted and we didn't have any problems parking opposite the hotel). The hotel is marketed as 'Bed & Breakfast' but with due notice you can arrange an evening meal cooked by the owner's brother - very capable cook. Fish variations are the main options (with the usual pasta dishes) and the produce is brought in fresh - hence the need to book in the morning. We enjoyed some very pleasant meals served with local wines, competitively priced. Breakfast was limited to cereal, croissants and cake (no cold meats or cheeses) with a range of coffees and red orange juice. Two of us stayed in a room with large double bed and separate single bed - very clean with full sheet/pillowcase change within our stay. A small balcony overlooked the adjacent property. There was an en-suite shower room (with bidet) - the towels had seen quite a bit of service but again, fresh and clean. Tablet soap provided with combined shower gel/shampoo dispenser. The external seating area is very pleasant (nicely shaded in the afternoon) with gated access to the nearby beach (towels provided for bathing on request). Igor (the dog) can be a little vocal but not enough to disturb a night's sleep (although the beds are a bit hard). The staff are very pleasant, making for a friendly and competitively priced stay.

“Nice experience”

The owner Francesco and his brother Leonardo are friendly, staff od the hotel is great. This B&B 50m from the beach, it is very accessible. The rail track goes by the hotel but it is not disturbing.

The owner Francesco and his brother Leonardo are friendly, staff od the hotel is great. This B&B 50m from the beach, it is very accessible. The rail track goes by the hotel but it is not disturbing. There are only a few passenger trains a day from Lamezia to Tropea and from Tropea to Lamezia.We used a lot this meaning of public transport. It was cheap, fast and comfortable. We used it for transport to airport Lamezia as well. Unfortunately there is no train stop near hotel but doesnt matter. We walked into town, about 20 minutes, there is a train station. Two times Francesco and Leonardo friendly took us to town by their cars. Nice hotel, nice staff, nice native people, nice beach, nice sea... 4 members family we have great, active and pleasant 2-week holidays in July.

We walked into town, about 20 minutes, but not much to see. Unfortunately, the weather was hot and the air full of forest fire smoke. In nicer weather the stay would have been more pleasant.

“Good views of Altomonte”

It does look a bit of a blockhouse, but is pleasant enough inside. We were lucky enough to have one of the rooms overlooking Altomonte and you get a great view of the village. The light at sunrise and sunset can be excellent. You can even see the sea! The Barbieri family all contributed to make it … lisää

It does look a bit of a blockhouse, but is pleasant enough inside. We were lucky enough to have one of the rooms overlooking Altomonte and you get a great view of the village. The light at sunrise and sunset can be excellent. You can even see the sea! The Barbieri family all contributed to make it a good experience. The bar area on the ground floor is not really conducive for a relaxing drink on a cooler evening, but if it is warm there is plenty of room outside. The food was good, as it was at the Barbieri owned restaurant in the village (La Cantina Barbieri). Nice looking pool - too cold for me in October! 10 minute walk to the town centre. Although we were with a tour group, I think this hotel would make a good base if you had your own transport.
