Frascineto Houses

Our Trip to civita was a special one, because of the village, but also because we were hosted in such a special place. Stefania's B&B is not only a place where you sleep. You can taste a typical flair of civita with a very familiar and lovely Inspiration from stefania. Her cute house has many places you can relax and enjoy the beautiful view at the mountains and the sea. The rooms are very nice and clean, everything is created with love and soul. The breakfast is phenomenal. The whole atmosphere is warm and familiar. It's a living together not separated. Gracie per tuto. Saskia e Francesco

We had a great stay at Stefania's B&B. The room felt very luxurious, with our little balcony and a beautiful bathroom. It feels very homely and welcoming. Being able to use the rest of the house made preparing food easy. There are only 2 guest rooms in the B&B and it was nice chatting with the other guest that was staying there. Stefania took us on a walk to a lookout point which was amazing. Breakfast was very delicious with lots of choices of food. Stefania is a lovely host, who gives you privacy when you need, but is also willing to welcome you into her home like family. Civita is beautiful and we recommend staying here.

My wife and I loved our stay at Stefania's place. It is right in the middle of a national park, and very quiet. We recommend it!

"Familiar" is the right word to describe the cowl. The house is gorgeous, why do you feel at home and not in a b & b; Stefania more than one host is a friend. Detail, cleanliness, taste. I only regret not known acer little Sofia. Good luck Stephanie and all your plans and dreams can become reality. Turn it up if you go to Rome. Maria Laura & Henry

This place is like a dream and Stefania is a welcoming host. Superb in all aspects.

Stefania's home was beautiful. The house looked amazing and our room was perfect. Excellent shower! Breakfast was different both days and was delicious. Whilst in Civita we did canyonning (which Stefania booked for us) and went to the Kamastra restaurant (recommended by Stefania)... Both were excellent! Civita is an incredible little town perched on the edge of the stunning Raganello Canyon. Well worth a visit. Just make sure you watch your head on the rustic beams getting out of bed in the morning! :)

Stefania is a SUPERHOST *~* Actually she is a Queen of best BnB in Italia. You will be blessed and lucky if you stay in her magical beautiful Calabria style Home. She spent years remolding it to absolute soulful beauty. The home is 3 floors. Stefania shares the 1st floor with you in her magical kitchen where gourmet breakfasts are awaiting you, as well as a dining space and living room area. 2nd floor a cozy fireplace and private quarters. 3rd floor 2 guests rooms each with private baths and balcony's and a lounge area with desk and sofa and another veranda to soak up sunshine or catch sunrise or sunsets! Privacy is great here! You feel as though you are in your own home. If you are in Calabria you must stop for a few nights or a month to visit the beautiful village and Stefania home that she graciously shares with Travelers. One could only dream of finding such a beautiful spot. Located in Pollino National Park And right above the Raganello River and Gorge ~ Walking, Hiking, River Rafting and Canyon adventures await. I was a solo traveler on this trip and had heavy luggage. I used public transport which stefania helped suggest to me. As well as she picked me up at bus stop so gracious of her, and delivered me back to bus upon departure. Stefania has tons of helpful suggestions on where to go while in Civita or surrounding villages or towns or day trip to beaches. Or if you just want to lounge sun and meditate, lots of space to do as you wish. Her Breakfasts are delicious and delightful all locally sourced organic foods! Espresso or tea! Baked goods and local homemade jams. Lucky if you get a pepperoni (Calabrian sweet peppers) and egg breakfast! Yummy. If you wish to take cooking lessons they are available for a pasta class, or local foods, Stefania arranged for me! I learned so much. Meditation on the veranda's is perfect! The guest rooms (2) have cozy comfy beds! Sleep sound in the quiet mountain air. Great Hot showers or Cold if its summer! Rooms are Big. I stayed in the one with slanted ceiling. If you are extra tall you may take the second room which has a higher ceiling. Luna the cat is entertaining, sweet as sugar and she follows you around if you wish. Great restaurants and Bars close by. Fresh Farm markets several times a week in the main piazza. Historical church. Also a few local grocery stores and a yummy gelato store. The piazza comes alive at night. The stars shine bright for you here. Don't miss out on the L Oasi' del Raganello cafe, short walk, to get fresh almond candy with honey or sugared, almond milk, almonds so fresh you haven't tasted anything like this. As well as a great place for local homemade wine, antipasto and view of Raganello gorge and just delightful family who hosts you at...

Place: Civita is a beautiful village and deserves to be visited, experienced and valued. We were on 30 and 31 December and the place gave us both a short and intense snowfall that a sunny day, perfect for walking. House: beautiful, cozy and warm. We made pampered by the fireplace and excellent pies for breakfast home. Stafania is a perfect hostess. He knows the area in detail and is available to tell and answer our questions. Great guide, took us on a nice walk, giving us lots of information and suggestions. Recommended her breakfasts!

Very modern and functional, tiny but super well used space. Very comfortable and cozy

This place was absolutely brilliant! Excellent location with a beautiful view, 5 minute walk from the main piazza. Stefania and her family are so warm, kind, generous, and welcoming. We felt at home. Stefania cooked the most delicious breakfast we have had in Italy with fresh fruit, cakes, yoghurt, eggs, and of course coffee! Devil's bridge and the canyon are incredibly beautiful, absolutely stunning. The restaurants in the piazza are very good and we really enjoyed sitting by the fountain in the evening. Highly recommended!!

My second week with Stefania was just as wonderful as the first. I was able to learn more about the people and culture of Civita, Italy which dates back to (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN). This is a truly amazing village; shopping in the piazza, trekking to Raganello/Devil's Bridge meeting Stefania's mother Nella, Daughter Sofia and her friends Antoinella, Aliana, Michela and baby Giordano. Stefania was most gracious in sharing her family and friends with me and with helping me make travel arrangements. She lovingly shares her beautifully restored home. After taking 5 years to restore and keeping with the original 1800 structure Stefania opened her home to travelers from all over the world. I hope to return before the end of the year as I have fallen in love with Civita and her people. Arrivederci, Maria Amalfitano Banks Los Angeles, CA.

We went there for one week with my girlfriend, and we had the best holiday in Civita, in big part thanks to Stefania's house! It is very unique, large, comfortable, the room had every comfort, was clean and had a small terrace. Civita is an extremely nice and quiet place and is a perfect starting point for visiting the region. But above all the atmosphere was very nice, thanks to Stefania and Giuseppe who made every effort to welcome us and make our stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you so much for the great time!

We absolutely love our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer! Warm and helpful greeting instantly from our arrival, suggesting things to do and restaurants to eat at. A beautiful home with lots of special touches to make the stay unique. Breakfast was a real highlight and probably the best we had in Italy! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend :-)

Civita is a hidden gem, we were so amazed by the beautiful scenery surrounding this village. Stefania was a wonderful host, very welcoming and friendly. Her breakfasts were generous and delicious, and her tips on restaurants and attractions in Civita were very helpful. We look forward to visiting again.

So, we can connect us only the predecessors. Incredible hosts, we filled up at home. Thank you!!!!

Nice place, village and Stefania!

The BnB is very cute, very clean and the hosts were extremely welcoming! Highly recommended.

Lorenzo gave us the best of welcomes. We needed Lorenzo to help us find the door as passage to the B&B is winding and easy to get lost in. We gave Lorenzo a ring when we arrived and he received us near the trattoria 'Il Pino Loricato'. This is an excellent place to have dinner by the way. The Quercia room is beautiful and well-appointed. The view across the valley is outstanding. Lorenzo had left water and fresh fruit in the fridge for us. After dinner (see above) we had a really good sleep in the very comfortable bed. Lorenzo could not do more to give us any thing we wished for at breakfast time. We were very well-fed. Thank you Lorenzo, you are a perfect host.

Lorenzo is a great host.Italian Old school good manners from the south! He'll make you feel at home,in a very nice home.the room was clean and suited with every comfort,private bathroom and private access from the street.gorgeous view on the mountains.the town is magic.very nice stay.

Our stay with Lorenzo was very pleasant and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breath-taking. Thanks again Mr. Lorenzo for his helpfulness and courtesy that characterizes it.

After an overnight journey by the Calabrian mountains, we arrived at San Lorenzo Bellizi, a beautiful and historic town in the middle of a beautiful view. There waiting for us GREAT Lorenzo, a person I will never forget you for your kindness and warmth. He made us feel my wife and me at home, a super full breakfast and very comfortable home. I hope everyone is going to live the experince of a real village in southern Italy, totally authentic. Lorenzo thanks for everything and hope that many people visit you.

A very nice room in an excellent location. Signor Lorenzo is an amazingly welcoming host. The balcony has a view towards a beautiful landscape.

Good morning gentlemen. I would like to tell, or better try to make you empathize about our vacation in the Maria Grazia home ..... but I think, in fact I am fully convinced it is better to try what we tried, and found: tranquility, relaxation, approach people the place with great familiarity. All it surrounded by the view of the beautiful hilly landscape to the sea, but also fit with the possibility of some short walks to many local historical sites. Needless to mention the food, specialties and delicatessens ..... real "cherry on the cream" as you say. Maria Grazia is also very professional: he followed us in all things, personal needs and various information. An excellent host.

We found the house in order and clean. The area very quiet and Carlo gave us different directions to make more pleasant our stay.

All ok, great host, beautiful location.

I always try to be objective and positive about my airbnb experience. Good things about this house is that it is big and clean, kept well, contails lots of nice decorations. The beds are comfortable, bedlinen is good. Bathroom is big and clean, toiletries are provided. The house is situated in the very center, close to everything, big parking is nearby. But at the same time lots of things made our stay not so pleasant as we expected. The description looks rather misleading - in fact it is room or shared room to rent and not the independent house, the host lives in the same place. No internet, no kitchen allowed to use (even no coffee or tea). Although we booked the house for 3 people \ 2 nights (after having asked the host if it is available and having confirmed the number of persons and nights, also on phone), when we arrived the host said we it was some technical mistake with the price and we have to pay additional price for the second room or we may go and search other places for accommodation. After endless negotiations (as it was quite late evening to go looking around) we finally got permission to stay, but the host repeatedly said that we profit from her mistakes in using the system and if she was us she would gladly pay double in cash without any discussions. Instead of having independent house at our disposal we have got 1 bedroom and a single bed in the corridor (it was really confusing as the host and the other guests passed by my bed during the night going to the bathroom, to the kitchen and back, so no privacy at all, also the sign on the wall next to your bed saying that this room is under video surveillance does not make you feel well). I proposed to the host to kindly help her to learn the system, change description and pricing to avoid this kind of situations in future, but for some reason she refused and I see nothing changed in this listing description. So I would propose to the guests in this particular case fully clarify everything in writing before arrival and booking – what are the host’s expectations, what is the price, what are the additional charges, what are the rooms and beds, otherwise you vacation may get spoiled with unpleasant talks and reproaches.

We, a family of 4, stayed a night at Lucia's agriturismo as part of a road trip in Calabria. The agroturismo was the perfect place to recharge the batteries. The location is secluded and quiet, and the place itself had enough animals and a small playground to entertain the kids. We enjoyed the beach a short drive away. Lucias and her family did a great job in making us feel welcome. We highly recommend eating at the agroturismo. Lucia and her family cooked a wonderful and complete Calabrian meal with lots of great (and local) antipasti.

Teddy is the perfect host! He is very anxious and helpful. We had a great stay in an old and homly place. It was very enjoyable and we would love to come back...

erg gastvrij en gastvrije eigenaar. Het huis is erg mooi en comfortabel. Plek 'stille cool. Het advies om te slapen geweldig. Sara

Van teddy we genoten van ons verblijf. Huis, welkom en de sfeer zijn allemaal gebaseerd op eenvoud en echtheid, zoals groenten van de moestuin die, op verzoek, kunt u zich te omgezet in een uitstekend hartig ontbijt. Gemakkelijk vindt u de indruk van het gevoel in huis van een vriend te hebben. Kinderen zijn zeer goed ook ingenomen met de onruststoker van achttien maanden. marco en ila.

Perfecte plek, geweldige gastvrijheid, allemaal goed
