    This Agriturismo B&B is the best I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. They prepared a delicious 4 course meal for us every night. The pool was awesome on a hot day and the view of the shore from the hills was breathtaking. Additionally it was a fantastic value.

    The road to access the agriturismo is very steep & narrow. Breakfast was very minimal but what can you expect for €55! Would prefer to pay €60 and get a better breakfast.

    Fabulous views, great swimming pool, charming agriturismo. Fantastic VFM.

    The hotel has no control over its isolation but it is very isolated. I found both the sat nav directions and sign posting for the property poor. The drive up the hill to the premises is challenging suited to a 4x4 or mountain goat . The venue lacked signs it was difficult to find reception and direction for parking, but the perseverance is worth it

    The hotel has stunning views over Amantea to the coast. The hotel / BB is beautiful and in lovely surroundings. The owners have made an excellent job in presenting the premises at its best. We ate in the restaurant. There was no choice due to a function taking place but the food was excellent. I can see it suitable for a honeymoon couple or someone who requires isolation. Our room was of a good size comfortable and clean. I would have no problems in recommending this property.

    The only quibble is that the shower floor is slippery, be careful.

    The place is simply beautiful and the staff is outstanding - friendly and helpful. It is about 4 or 5 minutes outside the center of Amantea; serene and beautiful. The ocean view is excellent.

    Nothing

    We really enjoyed our stay at Il Mandorlo and would definetaly come again. The house is located close to Amantea (beautiful city!) on the hillside surrounded by olive trees. We did not find the way too difficult to drive up to (as written in other reviews). The accomodation was were well looked after. In the morning we were able to eat our breakfast outside. And also when reading by the pool, we were able to enjoy the fantastic view of the ocean. The dinner was fantastic! It tasted really fresh and was made of local ingredients (The owners produce their own olive oil and wine). Moretherefore, we really enjoyed the contact with the owners. Despite our language barrier (we unfortunatly cannot speak Italian), we felt very welcome and received information on the area as well.

    Everything was top!! nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the street to the house is very challenging

    Amazing view to mountains and the sea incl. Stromboli. House is really beautiful. Very nice and charming people!

    The only thing that we didn't really like (we are not used to it), is driving on the steep road to reach the resort. For the rest everything was excellent!

    The staff was very kind with us, they offered us a drink for the late check in of our room, they also prepared us an excellent dinner on request with typical products. We also really liked the view over the sea and the other hills, the swimming pool was fantastic and the room was new, clean with all possible comforts.

    Arrived just after 15.00hrs but told we'd need to speak to the one & only member of staff who speaks English. After a few minutes she arrived but said we'd have to wait until 16.00 to check in and ,although we could see the restaurant, garden and pool through the gate, we weren't invited in or offered a drink, despite it being 28 degrees! So went for a walk locally. We checked in at 1600hrs and were told it's €3 PER HOUR to use the pool - Beware: this is not stated to be an 'additional charge' on Booking.com :-( Also told that the breakfast is a croissant with tea or coffee and, if one would like pastries, fruit or anything else it's at extra cost. Enquired about dining in their restaurant (as there aren't any restaurants nearby so it would have involved a drive back down the steep, rutted hillside) to be told we'd need to complete a pre-order form and hand it in by 17.30! Pre-order form is in Italian only (so thank goodness for Google translate). Set menu is €25pp or there are a la carte options. Attempted to sit by the pool for a short while at 17.00 hrs but all the lawn-mowing, leaf-blowing and hedge-trimming going on around us completely spoilt any hope of enjoying any relaxing peace, plus it stirred up the biting mosquitoes too. Asked for a bottle of white wine - no wine list provided and told their homemade wine had run out, so were shocked to find we were charged €19 for a shop-bought bottle which is a huge mark-up by Italian standards, given that one can buy many very pleasant wines at €2 in the local supermarkets!!! When we checked out we were charged €5 tourist tax for 2 people for 1 night... disputed this as we know (from all our other hotel stays during our 2 weeks in Italy) it's only supposed to be €0.50 per person per night but he disagreed.

    Immaculately clean room, attractive pool area and alfresco dining area. Lovely views down the hillside ro the town in the valley below. Accommodation building is freshly decorated and functional.
