This is a special place. The photos on the Booking.com site are incredibly appealing and the reality even more so. Note than many reviews mention Tania - as well they should. She checks you in, serves you breakfast, serves you dinner, makes all the preserves and pretty much works a twenty hour day without ever seeming to tire. Unfailingly warm and courteous. While it wasn't our prior intention to eat dinner in the hotel each evening we did and we were so pleased with that decision. The entire ambiance harks back to a time when one checked into a country hotel and stayed there. The room was large and luxurious in a 19th century manner. Ample free parking in the courtyard. We certainly hope to return.

Hotel is pet friendly at no charge. Hotel is around 10km from the highway and it’s a lovely place for you to rest. The hotel and surrounding are very charming and beautiful. There is a nice iron gate at the entrance and the hotel sites on top of the hill. Great staff. The hotel also had a restaurant ( overpriced in my opinion) which is very convenient if you arrive late and are looking to taste the local cuisine.

Mattress was ok

The hosts are the most welcoming and warm family. The son speaks English and can tell you all about the neighbourhood Eat at the restaurant of the hotel because the food is incredible! The area is beautiful: Morano Calabro is a very beautiful town but the Pollino National Park is really breathtaking and San Domenico is the perfect place to stay and explore the area!

The windows were not completely sound proof.

A fabulous stay in Morano Calabro, a lovely little hill top town with a castle right at the top boasting stunning views. We were greeted by staff who couldn't do enough for us, including cooking a fantastic evening meal - fresh and really tasty, washed down with home made digestifs. Breakfast was good with some made jams and local food. Parking on site, although quite a steep climb up the drive to get there!

Only slight gripe was that the air conditioning in the room wasn't great - resulting in a hot night's sleep at the end of July.

This property was old and charming, but convenient and comfortable. It’s in a nice location and has parking spaces available. They offer a delicious dinner in their dining room. There are not many restaurants nearby, so this was a very nice option. The view from our room was beautiful. The hotel owner/manager was pleasant and informative.

Proper oldie world hotel. Good food and excellent staff. Made us feel truly welcome. Insisted we try all their homemade treats including olive oil from their own farm, jams, liqueurs etc Thoroughly quirky but in a great way

Tea and coffee in the room would be nice and not overly sure about weird art in rooms

The villa is a nice and well-maintained building, full of character and antique furniture. The staff welcomes you like family. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, with some home-made products, such as olive oil and jams.

The room was a bit small. No heating was provided, although in mid-November it was already cold at night. The central heating was not activated yet, due to government regulation. In the common sitting area there was a nice fireplace, but the bedroom was cold.

We really loved our stay here, we only had one night. The hosts were very friendly and couldn’t do anything more for you. We had dinner there, it was fantastic and typical food of the region. Parking on site and great wifi. Everything was very clean Breakfast was very good and again typical food of the region. Could have stayed longer.

Nothing

A lovely country hotel experience in ancient Morano Calabro. Felt like stepping back in time. The warmest of welcomes, a great home-cooked 5-course dinner, spectacular local breakfast. On-site parking for 2 nights was a real treat. Aperitivi at My Coffee and Flying Pizza also memorable our second night!

The location of the property was perfect, and easy to get to, with convenient parking on the property, up a steep cobbled driveway. The elegant building was very comfortable and Tanya, was helpful from my arrival to departure. Plus the breakfast and dinner service were both very nice.
