Monthly Rentals in Chiaravalle Centrale

Such a special find in Calabria and a great spot for relaxation. Monica was a perfect host. We would love to come back and stay longer.

The building is right in the centre of lovely old Guardavalle - a very old hill town with a couple of restaurants and a bakery as well as a fruit shop and small grocery store etc. The apartment is very spacious and beautifully, simply decorated. Concetta has gone to a lot of effort to include small details that really make a difference, like a nice teapot, a toaster, spare bin bags and foil etc. She even had a delicious homemade cake waiting for us on our arrival and some home-grown fruits - a lovely welcome. We'd highly recommend the apartment as long as you're ok with some noise at it's on one of the main streets and is above a bar that had some lively customers who were at it until late each night. The area is stunning - full of citrus and olive groves, but a car is obviously a must. The roads leading up to some of the gorgeous hilltop towns like Stilo and Badolato are very windy and high but are generally well kept and have barricades that make it feel safer!

Raffaele has always been available with confidentiality, he has always written to me if I needed anything, the house has been recently renovated, it was clean and cared for, he provided me with breakfast products, coffee and aperitif and other useful things for the stay, it is very spacious and enjoys a splendid view of the sea and the Gulf of Catanzaro Lido, he gave me many tips on places and where to eat great food, the place is also very quiet and peaceful and there are no problems for parking.... I will definitely keep it in mind if I have to come back... I highly recommend it to everyone.

We stayed here in between two "active" weeks one hiking and biking. This week was intended to be a "rest" week. We relaxed all week. The location made it easy; beautiful surroundings with olive and fruit trees and grapevines. Pietro and Daniella were working on land some evenings; waving as they went by. Not at all intrusive. When we arrived they greeting us and showed us around. Leaving us bread, eggs, coffee, milk, wine and a homemade cake which we savored all week. During the week they answered questions promptly. We cooked our meals at home most of the time to break up the travel of eating out. The grocery market is closed 1-4pm as our many shops. Since it was pre-season not much was open added to our relaxation. Sitting by the pool or swimming was a delight. If you are looking for a relaxing and restful stay come here! Thank you for a restful stay.
