  : Niente.
  : Grotto PergolaFirst things first. Do not believe the good or pleasant reviews. This "hotel" was the worst dosshouse we have ever booked on booking com. A morose owner showed us to our room which was a renovator's delight. The furniture was old and cheap, there was not even a small wardrobe where we could hang our clothes. The bathroom was spacious and it had a floor heating which was appreciated by a big resident scorpion that we slew with an Aussie thong. The bedroom had no heating at all and it was more like a dark room, with a single ceiling light and no bedside tables with reading lights. In a nutshell the rooms were primitive. You could hear the next door neighbours talk loudly until late and if that was not enough we had to tolerate a whining and barking dog. Obviously the host had rented the room next door to a guest with a dog. The restaurant downstairs was equally dark and reminiscent of a smuggler's cave. The icing on the cake was that we had to depart without the booked breakfast. When we arrived the owner asked at what time we wanted to have our breakfast and we said at 9 am. When we came down at 8:45 the restaurant was closed, it was dark with no sign of activity. So we packed and left without breakfast. The bottom line is: avoid this hotel at all costs.

  : Rustic location. Authentic village. Nicely renovated bathroom. Dining in the Grotto was fine.
  : Room is a little small and difficult to access (especially in the dark). Waterpreassure in shower was not impressive. Noise from churchbells
