“Recommended for a visit to Pollino National Park”

Fabulous family run B&B, who made us feel so welcome, and wanting to please and attend to our every wish. Good guidance on where to visit locally within the National Park. Marvellous breakfast. Property has Great location in Civita.

“This was a veru beautiful location and a comfortable, quiet place to stay”

The breakfast was excellent with freshly prepared eggs, local cheeses and charcuterie, fresh fruit and tomatoes all cooked and served by Ewa and Gianluca. They were able to change our room to include a balcony and view and were charming and friendly, helping with walking suggestions in the area around Civita.

“Our favourite B&B in Europe”

Set in a beatiful setting overlooking the impressive Raganello gorge, this wonderful B&B offers goegeous rooms to match the view. The breakfast is superb, offering mouth watering home-made specialities prepared by the host's wife, Ewa. Even so, it is the hospitality of the hosts themselves, Ewa and Gianluca that steal the show.

The owner with his lovely family made an exceptional impression. Fantastic tradition, very personal and the best art of making real friendship with their guests - a refreshing experience. A rich breakfast, a nice old style family enterieur, feeling at home in an authentic world.Our two days stay was the real highlight of our southern Italian round trip. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking.

“Exceeded Expectations”

Gianluca is probably one of the best hosts we have met, ever. During our stay we were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves which meant that the communal areas were left to us to use and relax in freely. The town is incredible and the location of this b&b is exceptional. Gianluca is also more than happy to provide a history of the town (and his family) which is extremely interesting. It's one of those places that makes you feel like your home away from home. The room was extremely spacious and well laid out.

Very rich breakfast. Location, village, surroundings are insanely beautiful. Owner Gianluca is extremely hospitable, knows a lot about the area and history and is happy to explain everything and give suggestions for excursions. The village itself is not only beautiful but also friendly. I definitely recommend a short or long stay in this accommodation.

Absolutely fantastic. Husband and Wife team were wonderful, bring to life the history of the town, through the buildings that house the B&B and the generation of their family that have lived there. Accommodation and breakfast fantastic. We will return !

“A fantastic place to stay in a very special small town , steeped in history.”

“A ten-Star Experience in the Heart of Civita”

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality by our incredible host—always smiling, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to making guests feel at home. Every detail of our stay was infused with care and love, making this one of the most memorable experiences we've ever had. The breakfast was nothing short of extraordinary. Each morning we were woken by the smell of freshly baked croissants and treated to an abundant spread that could rival a five-star hotel: homemade fruit tarts, cake and bread, a fresh platter of homemade bacon and sausages, tomatoes, cheese, fluffy omelettes, fresh fruit, juice, and tea and coffee. Everything was crafted with passion, and you could taste the love in every bite. The accommodation itself was equally impressive—classy, elegant, and furnished with timeless antiques that added a touch of old-world charm. The terrace was beautiful and perfect for relaxing, and the room had air-conditioning. Everything was impeccably clean, tidy, and well-organised, down to the sheets and towels trimmed delicately with lace. What truly stood out was the host's attention to every possible detail—from the aesthetics to the atmosphere, nothing was overlooked. He also went out of his way to suggest wonderful places to visit and dine, helping us discover the hidden gems of Civita and its surroundings. Staying here felt like receiving a big, warm hug from Civita itself. It was not just a place to sleep, but a soulful, heartwarming experience that we will never forget. Five stars are simply not enough for the effort, generosity, and hospitality we received. Highly, highly recommended.. Ein herzlicher Empfang von einem wunderbaren Gastgeber – stets lächelnd, aufmerksam und voller Hingabe. Das Frühstück war außergewöhnlich: frisch gebackene Croissants, hausgemachte Kuchen und Brot, Speck, Würstchen, Omelett, frisches Obst, Säfte und exzellenter Kaffee – alles mit viel Liebe zubereitet.

“We had the room over the breakfast room which offers a balcony overlooking the gorge, just amazing,”

This hotel is situated at the best end of the village with stunning views, the host is very attentive and ensures you have the very best of everything including a wonderful breakfast. To be honest I do not know how they can offer such wonderful service at such a reasonable price just excellent 👍

“Il Belvedere del Gianluca”

Gianluca is an amazing, kind, and very knowledgeable host. He knows a lot about the rich history and culture of the village. The location and the view of the hotel are breathtaking. By far, the best pillows i ve slept in a hotel!! Highly recommended.

“In the middle of one of Italy’s most beautiful villages”

Very nice B&B in the most quiet place I have been in Italy It is hosted by the owners who are local Very nice and helpful owner Wonderful breakfast Wonderful and interesting surroundings Nice and friendly people in the village

“Stringly”

Everything was perfect. Beautiful place in an authentic small town in the middle of the mountains with great views and an excelent homenade breakfast.

“Perfect getaway”

Excellent location, next to start of the trail to Devils Bridge. Very welcoming host. The breakfast was very extended with savory options like eggs, cheese and tomatoes. Some nice restaurants within walking distance.

Gianluca is an amazing host. He gave us great advive on activities, places to eat and the rich history of Civita. We had a room with two balconys which was great during afternoon heat as one always had shade. Hiking the surrounding mountains and the Raganello Valley was a great experience. Go to Pollino and stay with Gianluca if you have the chance and enjoy the outdoors!

First of all Gian Luca and Eva are the nicest and most welcoming hosts. The room is very comfortable and the breakfast with freshly prepared items exceptional. The trail dedcending to the ponte di diablo starts just next to the house. Civita itself is a chrming village conserving its tradition and its beautiful location.
