The Residenza is a radically restored and updated stone-built mediaeval tower on the sea-facing edge of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, located on a promontory reached by a serpentine roadway. The convivio is approached through a maze of 'cobbled' streets some of which are merely narrow alleyways. So if you want the charm like we did you can't expect on-street parking around the corner. Our charming, linguistically gifted, diminutive but energetic host Maria Teresa asked us to phone on arrival and insisted on carrying both our large bags about 200 yards and up three flights of stairs to our room. Our room was typical of the rest of the palazzo, which was embellished with an eclectic mix of antique furniture and repurposed objects that included two woodwork benches. Outside there was a vertiginous terrace reached by a spiral staircase that provided spectacular views of the sea and sunset. We were also advised about the availability of an evening meal at the connected restaurant which we used twice and enjoyed all the typical Calabrian dishes on offer. Breakfast was straightforward but abundant and tasty. When we needed to depart early our host was only to pleased to adapt to our needs. The local residents were very friendly. We enjoyed a private showing of the Persebe, which is a massive nativity scene based on the local geography.

Any tiny defects were insignificant compared to the pleasure of being here for too short a stay, but it would be impossible to accommodate any one with reduced mobility.

This house was so beautiful and cozy. My room was HUGE and had a desk, fireplace and large bed. The bathroom was also very large. The breakfast was incredible and the hostess was as hardworking and caring as you could hope for.

Such a fantastic and unique stay. So happy we found this hidden gem for one night. The town, accommodation, food, wine, and hospitality was exceptional. Maria Teresa was such a lovely host and took good care of us and made sure we tried the best food and wine of the area. To be able to visit and stay in such a beautiful place without being overrun with tourists is amazing. If you want a unique and memorable experience then I highly suggest this lovely place. The food was incredible and the stay was a highlight of our southern Italy trip.

Fantastic experience! It was an amazing stay. Unforgetable and in an exceptional place- 16th centuary house, with a view on a sea and medieval village. Thanks a lot to Maria Teresa for her welcome.

Very comfortable bed and pillows. Great views. Beautiful building and location itself.

Breakfast was SO disappointing! Not at all what was described. Not enough food for our big company (like, four small yogurts for nine people).
