Pleasant stay Overall

Hospitality was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only draw back with the lack of air conditioning during very hot weather.

Thanks Frank, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and have a pleasant time. Regarding the air conditioning, unfortunately the power supply to the house is not enough to be able to supply air conditioning. thank you again for your feedback.

Vacanze relax in famiglia

La casa di Normann, è enorme, estremamente pulita, perfetta per avere in propri spazi nonostante si viaggi in gruppo, inoltre ha una terrazza con un panorama mozzafiato. Da qui si possono in effetti ammirare la grotta del principe, le montagne e, in lontananza, il mare. L'unica difficoltà è la vicinanza dal mare: la strada è un po' tortuosa e lunga (20 minuti di macchina), quindi per avere completa autonomia nei movimenti, ognuno dovrebbe avere la propria automobile, dato che c'è un solo autobus e passa ad orari improbabili per dei turisti. Il suo essere un comune isolato ha però i suoi vantaggi: estrema calma, immersione tra i suoni della natura ( il canto delle cicale, del gallo, le campane ), gente autentica, accogliente e di cuore. Un enorme grazie a Franco, il custode, per la sua simpatia, la sua disponibilità, i suoi consigli e la sua generosità. E a Normann, per le sue indicazioni precise e per aver voluto credere nelle possibilità di sviluppo di questo simpatico borgo. Torneremo sicuramente volentieri e conserveremo un piacevolissimo ricordo di questa Calabria semi-selvaggia e autentica.

Well equipped village house

This is a 3 storey village house situated about 100 metres from the village square when there is plenty of safe parking. The House is a three story village house which has been modernised to a high standard. It is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. It has two lovely balconies with fabulous views over the village, mountains and the sea in the distance. Pietrapaola is a lovely mountain village with amenities that include a shop, post office, many mobiles shops that visit and the Cafe/Bar Rio where we were made most welcome. Pizzas were availability during August - just look for the tables set out! We were extremely lucky to be there when the new church doors were inaugurated- there was a concert in the village when opera singers from the Florence Opera House (one being a "local boy" ) performed - it was a magical evening. Live Music and singing Is spontaneous here and we were made to feel part of the community. The local agents, Franco and Francesca looked after us very well and included us in BBQs and a celebration of their silver wedding anniversary. The only criticism was the poor internet. However, if you visited the coast (Lido di Pietrapaola or Lido Azzurro) there was free internet which was OK. There are plenty of lovely sandy beaches in the area to enjoy.

Casa assolutamente fantastica. Completa di tutto il necessario

Abbiamo passato una settimana fantastica nel piccolo ma bellissimo paesino di Pietrapaola. La gente é a dir poco ospitale (una grande famiglia), la casa bellissima in una zona affascinante.
