"This place is a beautiful B&B. It is nicely decorated and has a beautiful view of the mountains from our balcony. The breakfast was very generous with lots to choose from
###But there are a lot of STAIRS. As a senior it was a challenge to get up to our room on the first floor.
Otherwise the place is grand."

"This was our second time at the B & B and we stayed in the apartment which had a kitchen. The staff were very friendly and the apartment was exceptionally clean. It was a great place to stay."

"Pool was enjoyable, very clean, liner needs to be replaced but totally acceptable. Staff is the most amazing part, alway ready to help out. Room was new with a strong air conditioner, once the door is closed it was totally sound proof. We enjoyed it and will be back again"

"Lovely room with a lovely host. Exceptionally clean and affordable. It’s off a country highway, so you need a car, but it’s very close to the coast. And the wifi was fast! Great spot"

"Detta var tyvärr inget bra hotell.
Skitigt både inne och ute. Otroligt hårda sängar, och sliten interiör.
Hundar börjar skälla kl 05 på morgonen.
Lyhört.
Luktar unket i rummet.
Man skulle duscha i ett stort badkar på rummet men duschstrålen var så dålig att det gick inte att duscha.
Poolen utomhus var avstängd så det gick inte att bada.

We want to thank Andrea, he allowed us to check in early and was so friendly. The location is great near the sea, with views of the water from many rooms. The onsite parking for our car was helpful. The staff was great and helpful and made us feel welcome. The room was good size and good bathroom. The breakfast was simple but felt like homemade and very comfortable. Thanks for making us feel comfortable and welcome. The rooms all had balcony. Everything seemed very clean and well maintained.

Vittorio is an amazing super host. Can't thank him enough for his hospitality and making us feel right at home. He stayed in contact with us until we reached Scalea by train. He then picked us up at the station and drove us back when we left. His rooms are sparkling clean, spacious and have beautifully tiled, large bathrooms. Breakfast was the best which was cooked personally by Vittorio... scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, toast, croissants, ham and cheese AND the most delicious coffee any way you...

La Suite del Faro sits in a residential area on a hill with outstanding views of Scalea and the sea. The outdoor area is a beautiful large terrace, where we enjoyed a splendid breakfast served by the hosts. The room felt luxurious with a very comfortable bed, mini fridge, and great bathroom. The owner had taken extra measures to insure the room's cleanliness during pandemic times. Parking is in an enclosed garage below the house; guests are given a fob for independent access to it.

A totally off the beaten path mountaintop retreat in a quaint village. The surrounding area is quite stunning. Nothing but lush agriculture and nature on very steep hills with views. There is a rustic ristorante in town with pretty good if not gourmet food, inexpensive beer and wine and plenty of good cheer from the other guests of all ages. If you are up for something different, make the slow windy drive here and you should be delighted.

There is nothing bad to say about this property other than the fact we only stayed one night. We chose it due to its location between our drive from Sicily to Naples. Wish I had known what an incredible place it is. We booked a room in the ‘Casa’ but when we arrived they gave us a room in the Castle for the same price. The owner was present and always greeted you with a warm smile as if she was greeting a relative. The staff was friendly and professional. The entire castle and farm were...

The hotel was great from the food to the service. Everyone was very kind and treated us like family. They even picked us up at the train station in Paola and drove us to attractions we wanted to see!
We couldn’t have asked for better service and a better experience.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who plans on visiting this area with their loved ones.

My family of 4 stayed in the mansard rooms. It was a perfect two bedroom set up with a private bath and sitting room for us to share. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was nice and cool compared to other places we stayed in Italy. The owner was nice and helpful. He recommended a delicious restaurant that we loved. He also offered for he and his wife to cook dinner and I wish we had stayed a second night to do that. The breakfast provided in the morning was simple...

The best area to stay in Mottafollone is within the historic center, known locally as the "Centro Storico," for its authentic character and convenient access to local life.
This area is the heart of Mottafollone, characterized by narrow, winding cobblestone streets, traditional stone buildings, and small piazzas. It's a place where daily life unfolds, with local shops, small eateries, and the main church, Chiesa Madre di San Nicola di Bari, all within walking distance. The Centro Storico provides a genuine experience of a traditional Calabrian hill town.
Couples looking for a romantic and quiet escape will find the Centro Storico particularly appealing. The intimate setting of the streets, the opportunity to enjoy local cuisine at family-run trattorias, and the slower pace of life make it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Many accommodations here are charming guesthouses or renovated historic homes, offering a unique stay.
For travelers seeking a peaceful retreat, the areas immediately surrounding the Centro Storico, slightly downhill, offer a good alternative. These areas often provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Ionian Sea, with villas or larger properties that offer more space and privacy.
When is the best time to go to Mottafollone?
The best times to visit Mottafollone are during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.
During these shoulder seasons, you'll experience comfortable temperatures ideal for exploring the natural beauty and historic sites without the intense heat of summer or the cooler, wetter conditions of winter. This allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable trip, whether you're hiking in the Pollino National Park or touring local villages.
For those interested in outdoor activities and cultural exploration, these months offer a good balance. The weather is typically sunny and mild, great for scenic drives through the Calabrian countryside or enjoying al fresco dining.
