Everything was nice and comfy, a real throwback to the medieval time. The staff were polite and friendly

Prepare for a long walk with luggages uphill on an uneven medieval bourg road. The receptionist made me wait 10 minutes because she had to finish some paperwork she was doing before she checked me in. The room was super tiny. The bed had only one pillow and was hard as a rock and uneven (so I was constantly rolling on one side).

The location is absolutely stunning! Good breakfast. BONUS: the local grocery da Graziella is fantastic!

Some pieces of furniture e.g. chairs, cabinet... could (and should) be easily repaired for very small cost. On the other hand, a perfectly fit and designed bathroom. Otherwise, everything was great: a magic location far away from the hustle of the world.

Old medieval town, no cars, so you need to have good legs; and I was there with my 91 year old mother, but it was OK, hotel arranged transportation when needed

Hotel is not hotel, it's bunch of apartments inside the village.The building they show you here on the pics is just a reception.Just the owner speakes some English.When they take photos of your passport he gives you a map of your apartment.Map is useless if you are there for the first time,and it has photo of your doors, that's hilarious because the village is full of similar doors.For example our door was almost hidden in some passage.We drove 12 hours and had to walk with 2 bags,and 2 kids to find it wit the useless map,even got lost for a bit.We entered soaked in sweat.We didn't knew,as nobody told us,that you need reservation for dinner,al the restaurants were full,so we stayed hungry!!!You don't have parking there, everything is full,we were lucky to find after more than 40 minutes waiting.But they can give you garage if you book it in advance,15 e.They don't answer to your emails,so don't bother.Room was average and smaller,not worth the money,2 marriage beds in one room, smaller bathtub,and we were separated from other apartment with folding screen.If you book with breakfast,you don't have buffet,when you sit you'll be asked salty or sweet breakfast and that's all.We took sweet and you have croissant,some smaller pieces of various sponge cakes, juice and coffee.You'll have to pick time for breakfast.When you leave the place there is no one on the reception,it was closed.You leave the keys in mailbox,no one told us that.If you call they don't speak English,and promise the owner, that speaks it,will come fast..........

Old vilage is very beautiful.Full of narrow streets,the Vitorio Emanuele square is wonderful,very alive,with 2 restaurants,kids playing, young people chatting and elderly people seating around and watching.And you have few more restaurants around the village,and basically thats all.Fairy tail village with good idea,it could be very interesting and adventurous with all the thing with maps,just if they have more staff or if they work better.

It can be tricky to find your room in this up and down medieval village but apparently a new app system will resolve this. Breakfast could be improved by real cappuccino. These are minor quibbles re what is a special place and recommended in all seasons.

It is an intriguing concept and place and run by a charming couple who did everything they could to be helpful. The room was mysterious and old-fashioned in a good way while Apricale is a charming village that has been well restored and is well run by a good mayor.

- No wifi. Stated that it should be available but is only available at the office. Network reception is terrible so wifi is a must

- Charming surrounding; - Sufficiently comfortable

A charming room set in the heart of this medieval village beneath the church. The room has a small balcony overlooking the narrow street below and a funky bathroom with a sunken bath situated next to the window with glorious views.

Charming guest rooms spread across this lovely village. Bags of character.

The hotel has rooms spread across the village, which is great but with no access by car or any other form of transportation apart by foot in very steep narrow little paved streets (beautiful I must say) where you cannot even roll the luggage. And our room was about 15minutes walk uphill. So travelling as a single parent with 2 little children I had to carry all our luggage on my own as no staff member even offered the slightest help. Then when we finally found the room, it was poorly decorated, gloomy with 0 natural light nor any form of view or outdoor area and looked nothing like any of the pictures provided when making the booking which showed beautiful balconies overlooking the mountains. The beds were very uncomfortable (the little additional bed for my son was even rocking and not stable at all) with not a real queen size mattress but 2 single bed mattresses over a queen size bed frame and limited pillows and covers. Because of the absence of natural light or sun exposure the room was freezing cold with no heating on at all. Breakfast buffet was poor with barely any choice (not even eggs & toasts or fresh orange juice). Overall very disappointing experience and deceiving pictures/advertising. We could see all over the village some posters with pictures of beautiful rooms with romantic settings, balconies etc well this is very far from what we got. It was only for 1 night stay so I did not bother to complain on the spot but if I would have stayed longer, I would have refused that room and request for another one or a refund. We’re easy going and simple people but this was beyond unacceptable and certainly not good value for money.

Honestly, nothing except the location as the village of Apricale is beautiful.

No surfaces for lugage, toiletries, drinks. Hideous decor. Shutters which had no stays to hold them open, many steps and stairs to the room, breakfast a good walk across tosn, not easy to find. Noone to show you your room

I liked everything about Apricale

It was a wonderful experience

We all enjoyed stay in this hotel. It is quite remote but we found location interesting with breathtaking views. Parking can be challenge if you come too late. Staff were friendly and we particuraly liked walking around old buildings.

The stay was wonderful and the staff very thoughtful to us. The bad experience we had was trying to have dinner at the Restaurant Da Baci' where the manager rudely said we should go to another restaurant because the kitchen was closed ( we were there before 9:30 pm ). They were still serving lots of tables. We went to the other restaurant in front, A Ciassa, the guy said he could only serve us some lasagna. We sat down but the waiters from the kitchen came serving others whole other meals. We could not understand why we were having a different treatment. Probably because we're a gay couple. Never mind. And last thing... the lasagna at the last place was horrible.

The village is so inviting and charming. It felt like traveling back in time. Lovely! Tip... you have to try the Restaurant Mari & Monti. Amazing food and such a pleasant reception.

The room was extremely noisy and the bathroom's plumbing was broken. When the air conditioning from nearby rooms was running it sounded as the external unit was inside our room. There was even vibration from it. As a result we couldn't get any sleep. The other unpleasant surprise was the plumbing in the bathroom, the shower was broken. There was a lever that controls from which part of the shower column the water will pour out that didn't work and most of the times the water (when there was any) was coming out of a broken pipe at feet level. The breakfast was mediocre. It was definitely overpriced, very expensive for what it was and the trouble we had.

The location was alright and the staff very friendly.

It is such a special experience! The hotel is situated in a medieval mountain village with mostly stone houses and pavements. The view is amazing. It may be a bit difficult to reach and one has to climb a bit to reach one's room with the luggage but it is totally worth it!
