Munta e Cara Albergo Diffuso

Cet hôtel est atypique puisque les différentes chambres qui le composent sont réparties à travers le village. Ce dernier a du cachet et il est très agréable de déambuler dans ses rues pavées tout en pierre comme toutes les maisons du village. Il s'agit d'un village fortifié assez difficile d'accès. ATTENTION : Il est très important de bien arriver avant 22h en été et avant 18h en hiver car la réception ferme ! Nous avons eu le malheur d'arriver vers 22h20 et nous avions contacté l'hôtel car sinon nous aurions dormi à la belle étoile !

Pour ceux qui n’aiment pas crapahuter laissez tomber. Pas de wifi ni réseau téléphone dans les chambres ! Ni dans la salle du petit déjeuner.. Domage.. Par contre week-end dépaysant au calme...

Unikt sted, unik overnatting og unik opplevelse. Rett og slett fantastisk. Bør oppleves!

Helt håpløs service! Vi fikk ikke rom med AC, slik vi bestilte (det meste av hotellets fasiliteter stemmer ikke med hva s er oppført). Etter mye fram og tilbake fikk vi bytte rom. Vi fikk da et rom med en AC som ikke fungerte. Det var defor mye varmere inne enn ute denne natten. Ingen andre luftemuligheter tilgjengelig. Hotellet baserer seg på å være et «annerledes» hotell, rustikk og med rom spredd i byen. (Det er i seg selv helt Ok). Hotellet bortforklarer alt med at de ikke er et vanlig hotell, det er ikke greit! Svært uhøflig, grinete og uvennlig personale etter vår klage på første rom, hvor det også lå hår i vask, dusj og bide etter forrige gjest. Vi måtte vente imens de sjekket inn andre gjester lenger bak i køen og når vi klaget på dette fikk vi følgende beskjed: «I’m working, not joking». Hotellet har dårlig rykte i Apricale. -Mange andre overnattingssteder er svært bra i Apricale. Og byen er en perle. Totalt tok innsjekking 90 min. I 30 c varme. På kvelden. Etter 30 mil på veien. ALDRI om vi legger en krone til på det hotellet.

Come diceva un caro amico, non ha una seconda possibilità di fare buona impressione. E qui la titolare se l'è giocata davvero male.

Quelle belle idée de retaper les maisons du village et de répartir les chambres au gré des ruelles pittoresques. Les chambres sont spacieuses, originales et propres. Le petit-déjeuner de bonne qualité se prend dans une belle salle dans le village. Bref une superbe étape à Apricale. A déconseiller toutefois pour des personnes ayant des difficultés pour marcher.

Bellissimo soggiorno, eravamo già stati all'albergo diffuso Munta e Cara e siamo ritornati per rivivere la magia di questo borgo al di fuori del tempo e staccare veramente da tutto e tutti come solo in posti come questo ci si riesce. Il tempo è stato dalla nostra parte, quindi tutto ottimo. A partire dalle camere, ognuna con un tema diverso e strutturalmente divise in tre tipologie (standard, superior e suite, mi sembra ci siano da quest'anno anche gli appartamenti dotati di cucina), estrema pulizia, bagni impeccabili e molto particolari anch'essi diversi per ogni camera, assoluta tranquillità data dalla tipologia del borgo. Colazione compresa, nella sala colazione al centro del borgo, segnalata in maniera ottimale, molto ricca, sia dolce che salata, e con diversi prodotti tipici. Sconto del 10% in uno dei ristoranti del borgo convenzionati con la struttura (la scelta è su 4 ristoranti). Noi abbiamo cenato al Ristorante da Delio, confermiamo appieno le ottimi recensioni, piatti tradizionali assaggiati per la prima volta che ci hanno veramente stupito per l'armonia dei sapori. Tutto al top, non si può chiedere di più, una conferma ai nostri ricordi di 3 anni fa. Lo straconsiglio a tutti coloro che vogliono passare un week-end diverso dal solito, in tranquillità e che amano i borghi antichi.

I booked through secret escapes for one night with my boyfriend. They really did a nice room for us with some flowers / chmpagne . The room was simple but very cosy , The staff who welcome us was very very kind she brought us to the room and explained in the mean time many advices and history .. I recommand it really !

I stayed here four nights as part of a group booking. For location and views, this place is unbeatable. The village of Apricale is unique in that all the streets and dwellings I saw were the original medieval set on a steep hillside. There are amazing views of the countryside from most levels of the village. The owners have taken a lot of thought in modernising these houses and each one in this Albergo Diffuso is different. How they have done this on 11th century design footprint is amazing. The rooms I saw among our group ranged from luxury & spacious to small and basic, (one had a bathroom outside and up stairs) so check out what your particular room offers. The breakfast room is in a separate house in the middle of the village. Breakfast offered quite a few choices. I was allocated an attic room accessed by a steep circular staircase on the edge of the village furthest away from the breakfast room and the main Piazza. (Stoppino Rosa). It took a good ten minutes to walk from my room to the breakfast room and I arrived puffed out because of the steep terrain. So - you need to be young, fit and able to cope well with steep, narrow, winding streets (some of which are more like a tunnel) paved with uneven stone cobbles. You also need sensible sturdy shoes, and go light on luggage. because you are at high altitude, bring a warm layer. I had left my warm things (worn only on the long plane journey from New Zealand) in Rome and felt cold in September, especially at night. I am an older but fit traveller and have to say I found aspects of my stay here quite challenging, and sometimes hazardous. My room had a deep bath with a shower fitting sitting in a cradle on the top edge of the bath. I never figured out how to use it. The sloping ceiling did not allow for a stand up shower (& there was no shower curtain so the water went everywhere). A kneeling shower was the best I managed. If you sat down you ended up sitting in a cold bath. The water was sometimes warm, other times cold. There was no functioning plug in the basin. A kettle with tea & coffee bags was provided. The hairdryer came apart in my hands when I tried to use it. The queen size bed was comfortable. I found it restricting to have to get back to my room while it was still daylight because it was quite dangerous to negotiate the uneven terrain in low light conditions, in some parts in the dark. So having a drink with others in my group in the main Piazza at the end of the days itinerary away from Apricale was out of the question. There are some good eating options in Apricale. We dined twice at different restaurants near the main piazza. Both were very good.

Loved the location, breakfast was very good, would definitely recommend and stay here again myself
