This is a family run hotel, perched on top of a hill in the village of Altomonte. You need transport to get anywhere. The views from my balcony were stunning, I could see the sea on my right and mountains in front and to the left of me. The food was satisfactory, staff were pleasant. Tea and coffee making facilities available in everyone’s room. Every evening we were there, there was a party on the terrace. The parties could get quite loud but I just put my earplugs in. The family own and run the Cantina restaurant on top of another hill and we had a very pleasant evening there with entertainment provided by 2 more members of the family. Although it was mid June and Italian school holidays, the hotel was very quiet. Old fashioned room keys with heavy fobs made sure you left them when you went out or didn’t take them with you when you left. We didn’t have to pay a tourist tax at this hotel.
