"Totally amazing property on a mountain in Altomonte, fairytale village in the Calabrian countryside. The best bed we have slept in the whole of Italy"

"Construction started 7am in the morning on a Sunday. When I approached the staff, first they denied it which is ridiculous in itself but eventually just didn't care. We left after the first night of a two night booking. "

"My family told us to try it out and we did - we loved it the beach , the water was amazing "

"This hotel doesn't like guests! The staff were surly and unhelpful. Example 1: Swimming in the pool, being yelled at by the staff and told to get out - the rules say that you can't swim unless you are wearing a rubber skullcap (circa 1950) - both men and women! Not owning one of these means you can't swim, which was exactly what was happening - see the photo. The hotel was full, but no-one was swimming. I had to go to a local beach. Example 2: the 'fully stocked bar fridge' contained exactly 4 small bottles not what was listed. See photo. The notice said that putting anything else in the fridge would 'force' them to come up and charge you euros 5.20 and turn the fridge off. See photo. Example 3: Restaurant: couldn't get a booking before 9PM, and the first course didn't arrive until 10:15PM. The second course came about 2 minutes later, so had to be put somewhere warm, then they mislaid one of them, so one had to be eaten while they tracked down the other. Example 4: asking at breakfast (which, BTW, is not recommended) for a cup of hot milk, was given cold - I said I asked for warm, was told it WAS warm so I demonstrated it wasn't by putting my finger in it. Was told they couldn't do warm, so I pointed out the button that said warm milk, so she ungraciously deigned to press it. Example 5: the Bar is not open until mid-July. No coffee tea in room. There's lots more - but the bottom line: avoid this place. I was SOOO glad to leave."
