Monthly Rentals in San Floro

We were in the area for 3 days researching our Southern Italian family roots. From the location close to the tiny towns in the mountains to the sea, it was perfectly situated between both. There was coffee and goodies for a light breakfast - and a nice balcony porch to enjoy the morning and evenings. We definitely will stay here on any future visits.

Book it! If you're considering this area of Calabria and you love beautiful views of the ocean, a quiet/peaceful small beach village vibe, and easy access to many of the nearby beaches, busier cities (e.g. Soverato and Catanzaro), and historical sites, THIS is your perfect spot. The views are spectacular (even better than the photos, if that's possible) - we woke each morning to the sunrise, enjoyed coffee while watching the sea birds, and the hearing the gentle waves hit the rocks below. Federico (Gabriella's son) was very helpful on anything we needed in terms of local restaurants, shops, etc. Definitely visit Alta Marea seafood shop for local seafood. And L'Arte del Grano for freshly baked bread. We can't wait to return!

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!

The stay at Alberto and Gabriella's exceeded expectations. In addition to the absolutely strategic location for visiting the surroundings and the property rich in details and tastefully furnished, the added value is the hosting, the attention they reserve. We were lucky enough to have dinner at the property on the day of our arrival and what can I say? Dinner was really a treat, too. The two-room apartment solution proved to be a winner for our needs! A round of applause for the daily cleaning of the apartment, a very welcome service! When we return to the area, we won't be able to help but stop here again.
