Raffaele's house with pool
Franco is a really exceptional host, he and his wife welcomed us very well and provided us with all the details of the house in a meticulous way. We spent a very pleasant week of relaxation, and their home is a small corner of paradise for those looking for peace and tranquility. We're already in the process of reorganizing another weekend with them.

Coastal home with parking
Great accommodation. Quiet place, surrounded by nature. Margherita was welcoming and thoughtful. An interesting place for those who love the sea and the mountains.

Casa Vittoria three-room apartment
We had a great time at Francesco's place. The house is perfectly responsive to the photos published in the listing. The apartment is large and equipped with every comfort, especially it has a nice terrace overlooking the Gulf of Policastro. Communication with Francesco was excellent and always punctual. In two words: I recommend the apartment.

Casetta di Fatima
Beautiful view , clean place , all was great

Villa Cherry Luxury Residence with Large Swimming Pool
Annalisa's place was very comfortable with plenty of room for our family to feel relaxed and each of us having private space in the house. The view is beautiful of the sea and it's great that there are decks on both bedrooms on the second floor. We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed all of the amenities of the home. It was difficult for us to find the place initially. If you visit know that you must drive all the way up to the top of the hill to find the development. The easy access to the pool was great and when we visited the pool it felt like we had our own private pool. Thank you very much Annalisa for hosting us!

villa Ivonne: a corner of paradise
We had a fabulous 5 nights at Villa Ivonne. The view on the balcony is one of the best in San Nicola Arcella and Paolo and Sandra are truly the best. We arrived in the evening and we were received with cold Prosecco, then Sandra cooked dinner for us based on our preferences. We weren't expecting such welcoming and nice hosts. The few months of Duolingo were worth it, we were able to hold some basic conversation in Italian. The apartment is clean and we were lucky because the air conditioning was just installed the days before. There are lots of dishes and plates available of really nice quality and there are interesting objects and photos on display. The Internet works well. The 5 nights went by too fast. We would like to come again and see the sea throughout the seasons. I recommend exploring the coast on both sides of San Nicola. We were lucky to see octopi, one nudibranch, sea centipedes, sea stars and gorgonians while freediving. Of course, the Arcomagno is superb too.

Wonderful Attic: near the sea
The place is equipped to a high standard and has a sunny terrace with sea views. Alessandro is always responsive, takes care of things immediately and is generous. We will be happy to come back and enjoyed the stay very much!

Country residence – vacation home
Andrea is a wonderful host, always available and willing to help. The place is amazing, much more than we were expecting... I believe the pictures do not capture how beautiful, cozy and spacious this house is. The surroundings are also incredible, Mormanno is a unique experience. We would not hesitate going there again, great cost/benefit relationship and satisfying in every way.
