"to begin with I have to admit I liked the 501 against my better judgement at times but the location and views allows a lot to be forgiven.
I can imagine the 501 in its glory days would have been spectacular. the architecture is still on place and quality never goes out of style.
however the old girl does look a little tired and could benefit from a little renovation in places.
the staff, mainly Italian or course and many locals, can be a little abrupt or disinterested when they are busy...
"I have stayed in many bed and breakfast hotels across Europe and Italy. This is by far the best I have ever stayed. The location is not super fantastic. It’s next to a main road but we can’t hear anything in the room. The room is simple but super super clean and well maintained. Comes with very clean toilet and shower. Mini fridge. Our window looks out to groves of olive tree. Highly recommended!"
"Great stay in the heart of Pizzo Calabro!
Everything was great — the location is perfect, right in the center of Pizzo Calabro with lots of dining options just steps away. The room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I’d suggest is adding a dehumidifier or better ventilation, as the humidity was noticeable at times. Overall, a lovely experience!"
"The grounds were beautiful. The pool was warm and clean..a car is needed as there is not many places that are safe to walk to. The description says there is a beach, there is no beach on property or walkable. We had an amazing dinner at Portale nearby recommended and arranged by owner. Amazing dinner but no real town to walk about. This is a great place if you have a car and want to explore nearby beaches. Close to the train station. My only recommendation is that the rooms are a bit...
"Hvis man ikke kommer med bil og drar til dette stedet i oktober, blir det vanskelig siden restaurantene i området kun er åpne i helgene. Ingen matbutikk på stedet heller…Ville heller bodd inne i Pizzo på denne årstiden."
"The staff were amazing. Dominico, Giovanni and Rocco were an absolutely wonderful! Making our stay a memorable one! Rooms were immaculate! Pool and breakfast area superb! "
"Great b&b with the best view and Monica was really nice, she made breakfast everyday for us and took great care of us. Highly recommend this place and would definitely go next time!! "
"The stay was short but the dinner food we got was sub standard and expensive for what it was. Breakfast was much better. Overall service at reception was friendly "
"This former convent has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel overlooking the sea.
The gardens are spectacular and the views are incomparable.
It’s far enough away from the town center thanks makes it a quiet retreat but close enough to get to within a few minutes."
