Excellent ! Food, view, pool and most of all the staff were extraordinary. We camped right on a small stretch underneath the restaurant above the pool. Camper services with grey water disposal, water, electricity it’s all there. We found the spot coincidentally, Bellissima. Mille grazie.

Agriturismo la Locanda del Poeta

The rooms are cozy and brand new service with Wifi in room, private bathroom, TV. We have three double bedrooms, one single and one triple.

Unique experience on a homestead in the hills.

Reviewed By Mika K

This is really wonderful place with unique atmosphere. It is a homestead kind of house located solitary in the beautiful wooded hills above Acri. Room was small, very basic, but nice and clean. The boss and his family, that are farming there are very friendly and helpful. The dinner, composed mostly of the very local home made products was great, it wasn't typical Itaian cuisine, how you know it from a normal ristorantes/trattorias, but really delicious. Wi-Fi worked well. There is a large private parking space. The beautiful nature that surrounds the place is by itself reason good enough for visiting this farmhouse. I had slight problems with finding it. It was dark already, the coordinates you got leads you to a crossroads where is a wooden sign, but it is really unclear where its routing you, the guy on the phone spoke no English and I'm not sure if I had found it if a fellow-driver passing by didn't gave me a hint. These are the real coordinates of the property: 39.479217, 16.447485 These are coordinates of beginning of the access road: 39.471468, 16.451667

Agriturismo Creta Rossa

An A+++ Agriturismo

Reviewed By roberto-respighi

We had been staying in Rome for several weeks, and we needed a bit of country relaxation. And the Agriturismo Creta Rossa certainly provided a welcome respite! As noted by other reviewers, great rooms and very fresh food, some directly from their farm. The grounds and pool were very attractive. The location is central to a number of interesting sites; we particularly enjoyed Gerace. Two items that made our stay particularly enjoyable was the absolutely excellent food (recall we have been living in Rome for two months, so our "bar" is rather high) and the absolutely excellent service from the manager, Pino. He really made our 3 night stay special.

Barone G.R. Macri

Great agriturismo and restaurant with potentials

Reviewed By Give_Bxl

Stayed over a weekend at this agriturismo. Rooms are spacious and clean. Swimming pool is very nice and clean, surrounded by lovely trees. The farm produces its own wine, including passito, olive oil, cheese, ricotta and even delicious ice cream. The restaurant is good and has great potentials. For the time being one finds the “trattoria” kind of food. So, if that is what one looks for, then it’s great to dine here too, also for great price/quality ratio. Major issue with the stay is noises up the rooms. The rooms are in a lovely old house. Room doors are very (too) thin and also the old beds are extremely noises, at every single move the bed squeaks unbelievably loud. That is very annoying if one has a light sleep. If they fix these two issues than it’s a great shelter for a lovely weekend or even more.

Agriturismo Vulcano

The Agriturismo Vulcano s an agriturism where you live in connection with the Vulcano Agricultural farm. It is found within the olive groves of the farm and offers different possibilities. The first is to enjoy total relaxation, in the serenity of a landscape that offers only natural sights and sounds: the call of the cicadas, the sound of the breeze, the voices of those who work the land, the horizon defined by the line of contact between the sky and the sea as far as the eye can see, the yellow and green coloured rolling hills. The second is to dedicate yourself completely to the sea, just a few hundred meters, which offers a free natural beach and warm crystal clear water, ideal for long swims. The third is to venture into the Ionic hills and the mountains of Sila, rich in green and pine trees, in an environment that has pure air and breathtaking landscapes. In fact, the agritourism, although being literally in front of the sea, is very close to the mountains: and it is from here that you can organize trips to nearby places in Mirto, like Rossano, Corigliano and Sibari, cities rich in art and history linked above all to the time of Ancient Greece and the Byzantine period. Colle degli Ulivi offers the best in hospitality and Calabrian cuisine, and offers the ideal holiday to disconnect from routine and immerse yourself in a quiet place that is hard to find elsewhere. At Il Colle degli Ulivi you eat Calabrian food and here, a typically poor cuisine becomes rich. An oxymoron in appearance which holds together the simple ingredients used in traditional dishes and the extraordinary flavors of typical seasonings which are the real added value of each course. Whether it's banquets, parties, ceremonies or small lunches and dinners for guests, in the kitchens of Il Colle degli Ulivi of the Agriturismo Vulcano only the freshest ingredients are used. The fish comes from the Mirto Sea and is purchased every day at dawn on the beach from the fishermen returning from sea. Octopus, anchovies and blue fish in general are characteristic of the local cuisine because they are the main fish found in the Ionian Sea. The meat comes from local farms. The vegetables and fruits come from the company's own land and are grown using 100% organic methods to ensure the food is very healthy. Alici scattiate( pressed anchovies), mulingiane kine (stuffed eggplant), sazizze ara vrasce (barbecued sausage), pipi e patati (peppers and potatoes) and many other dishes: even the most discerning palates would be satisfied. Il Colle degli Ulivi knows how to bring the great variety of traditional cuisine of Ionian Calabria to the table. All, of course, seasoned with the best Vulcano oils. Il Colle degli Ulivi is the ideal agritourism for those who want a more authentic holiday in Calabria; one that combines sea and mountains in a typical Mediterranean atmosphere. In addition to the foods of the traditional Calabrian cuisine, at Il Colle degli Ulivi you will find a warm and polite welcoming, as well as a place immersed in the green and yellow colours of the relaxing Ionian countryside. Having a convenient place that allows movement during a holiday dedicated to the exploration of beaches, woods and countryside is important. Il Colle degli Ulivi offers all the amenities you need to enjoy a very relaxing and special holiday in the best possible way. Currently the agritourism is equipped with accommodation, with private entrance and veranda. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, safe, refrigerator and television. In addition, Il Colle degli Ulivi offers a swimming pool where you can relax immersed in the green of nature, and places where you can gather and socialize or where you can enjoy a solitary reading.

Agriturismo Dattilo

Vineyards and olive groves embrace a central unit comprised of the baronial group of houses dating back to the 1600, the cellar, the oil mill and the farm stay facilities, flanked by a quaint small church. The farm stay facilities originate from the renovation of these buildings, duly converted in large and comfortable apartments. The most recent jewel added to casa Ceraudo is the Dattilo restaurant, a unique architecture in a refined and elegant setting with interesting wooden arches and century-old exposed stone walls. In November 2001 the restaurant was awarded the prestigious Michelin star.

Amazing stay

Reviewed By Vivian R

Active winery and oil production and honey and… This stay is one of our best! We celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday and booked dining at the restaurant and rooms. Charming rooms beautifully decorated with touch of Calabria and good sense of quality! All worked very well with high level of service from booking via email till checkout. The wines are bio and absolutely worth every euro!

Agriturismo Petrara

Splendid! A trip of a lifetime!

Reviewed By lisacatanzaro

As a special surprise for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary we planned a 2 day excursion to Catanzaro which is our last name and perhaps the area our relatives were from. Due to Antonio’s excellent planning were able to book a spacious and spotless family room and arrive just in time for a delicious Calabrian lunch served with the local products from the agriturismo. The food was amazing, The wine was excellently paired and we had wonderful cheese and fruits from the property. The experience and was lovey. From the olive groves near our room there is a view of the sea, there is peace and quiet and delightful wind in the night that make you feel as if you are in a magical place. The room was rennovated and had ADA handicap compiance. Antonio also helped us arrange a local driver to the places in the sea on the south near Soverato and into the city of Catanzaro for art and history tours. This was a trip of a lifetime however we do plan to return. Sending you a big hug Anotonio and the team at Petrara.
