Guest Reviews
- Tomáš (10/5): - Krasny stary dum s atmosferou.
- Ekaterina (10/5): - Старинные просторные апартаменты с камином, очень приятный хозяин Марио. Спасибо ему за гостеприимство
- Seppe (10/5): We werden schitterend ontvangen door Mario! Hij hielp ons met alles wat we nodig hadden. We kwamen laat aan voor het ete - We werden schitterend ontvangen door Mario! Hij hielp ons met alles wat we nodig hadden. We kwamen laat aan voor het eten, vonden niet meteen iets maar Mario had een oplossing. Top service!
Het huisje heeft alles wat je verwacht, prima uitvalsbasis met alle rust van dien voor het bezoeken van mooi dorpje Gerace!
We komen zeker nog is terug!

- Stefania (9/5): -
- Donatella (10/5): mario superhost - tutto! niente!
- Tim (10/5): Superb stay in Gerace - The house is full of old world charm. It hasn’t been spoilt by modernisation and is an absolute delight to stay in. Mario the host is wonderful kind and helpful and made us feel welcome within his home and town. We couldn’t recommend it more highly. There was nothing not like about the property.
- Petra (10/5): - Čudovita kamnita vasica z zelo prijaznimi ljudmi. Obiščite bar pri cerkvi in malo trgovinico z živili. Ne bo vam žal. Prespali smo v pravi graščini. Lastnik je zelo prijazen in gostoljuben, tudi njegova hčera. Lahko smo si izbrali sobo, v kateri naj bi prebivali, saj smo v tem terminu bili sami. Vse čisto in zanimivo pohištvo. Edino malo hladno je bilo kar je seveda pričakovati od tako ogromne stavbe. Vse super.
- barbara (8/5): -
- Giovanna (10/5): Un salto nel passato - Da sottolineare la simpatia e la disponibilità di Mario, la posizione centrale rispetto al borgo, l'esperienza di stare in una residenza dal sapore antico, con camere molto ampie, dai soffitti altissimi e da spessi muri di pietra.
Anche gli spazi esterni sono molto belli e caratteristici. Ci è sembrato di tornare indietro nel tempo. Sicuramente in primavera o in estate l'appartamento si gode in tutta la sua bellezza. Noi ci siamo stati in inverno e abbiamo sofferto il freddo del periodo, poiché presenti solo un bellissimo caminetto nella sala d'ingresso, e un condizionatore in camera, che non sono bastati a scaldare tutte le ampie camere che avevamo a disposizione.
- Matthew (10/5): A magical property in a magical village. - What a magical place in a magical village. We felt whisked away into a dream world— an older, slower, more joyous way of moving through the day. Mario was an amazing host. Highly recommended!

Emplacement
Les conseils de Mario
Un havre de paix , calme absolu Literie moyenne
- Sieglinde (7/5): -
- Beatrice (10/5): Meraviglioso - la gentilezza di Mario, l’autenticità della casa e lo stile che ha saputo mantenere e onorare. Speriamo di poter tornare e soggiornare per più giorni Nulla
- Dieter (8/5): - Mario war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Trauben haben ausserordentlich geschmeckt!
- T. van der Linden (8/5): - Mooie plek in de stad, veel ruimte en een goed bed.
- Stefanie (10/5): - Der historische Palazzo war ein Erlebnis. Geplant war eine Nacht-wir sind drei geblieben! Mauro war ein zuvorkommender und freundlicher Gastgeber. Es war ein Eintauchen in eine andere Epoche.
- John (8/5): - una proprietà incantevole e unica a Gerace era difficile da trovare, la mappa non era precisa
- maria gabriela (10/5): Lugar magico - el anfitrion
- Seo (10/5): -
- Klaus-Peter (8/5): Wohnen im Palast aus alten Zeiten. - Ein "verwunschener" Palast mitten in der Altstadt. Viel Platz, um die Fantasie an vergangene Zeiten anzuregen.
- BEAUVAIS (10/5): un voyage dans le temps dans un charmant palais de Gerace - l’accueil de Mario et le charme de sa demeure dans ce village merveilleux
- Masciari (5/5): -
- Mieke (9/5): Unieke, idyllische plek - Mario regelde een ztl vergunning zodat we konden parkeren in het oude centrum. Wij parkeerden altijd probleemloos bovenaan bij het park naast het kasteel. Het is nooit ver om te lopen. Mario ontving ons behulpzaam op een plein en leidde ons naar het appartement. Het historische gebouw is idyllisch. Romantische trap leidt naar het appartement dat ruime, hoge kamers heeft voorzien van goed bed en goede banken. Een zijdeur gaf via een bruggetje toegang tot een ommuurde tuin. Ik heb genoten van de heerlijke rijpe pruimen en vijgen. De waslijn hing onder druivenranken met trossen druiven. Een rustige, koele plek in Gerace. Wij hebben 3 dagen genoten van deze unieke plek De sobere badkamer en de gemeenschappelijke keuken zijn oud, gedateerd en aan vervanging toe. Maar alles functioneert prima. Het Wifi signaal is zwak.
- Chiara (10/5): - Palazzo Caracciolo è una struttura incredibile nel cuore della meravigliosa cittadina di Gerace.
I giardini, la vista dal terrazzo, il sapore antico della struttura danno al soggiorno un valore aggiunto. Mario è un oste disponibile, gentile e molto alla mano, non ci ha fatto mancare niente e ha risposto prontamente alle nostre richieste. Consigliatissimo Il letto matrimoniale è un po' scomodo, se possibile cambiarlo sarebbe perfetto :)
- rosanna (10/5): Splendido - Tutto. Struttura incantevole, Posizione eccellente. Ospitalità squisita
- Giada (9/5): Calore e gentilezza, parole chiave di Palazzo Caracciolo - Palazzo Caracciolo è una struttura storica nel cuore di Gerace, un piccolo borgo che regala emozioni! Tranquillità e gentilezza sono state i punti chiave del soggiorno.
La cura e ospitalità ricevuta dal signor Mario ci ha fatto sentire a casa.
È stato un soggiorno breve che non dimenticheremo facilmente 🤍
- Francesco (10/5): Una struttura che richiama un passato sia nobiliare che umile nella cittadella vescovile di Gerace - non me la dimentico - La storicità della struttura è indimenticabile, con un cortile suggestivo e pieno di bei pianti, e l’appartamento non troppo modernizzato, come ci piace quando stiamo in un bellissimo centro storico come Gerace, e anche molto comodo. Niente. Ci è piaciuto tutto.
- Domitille (10/5): - Accueil très chaleureux de Mario et de sa fille Carmen. Le palazzo a beaucoup de charme et d’authenticité, idéal pour découvrir Gerace. Une très belle expérience que nous recommandons.
- Michele (9/5): - Struttura ampia e accogliente.
Posizione centralissima
Signor Mario gentile e disponibile
- Gilli (6/5): - La posizione. La struttura in se è ampia, perché antica dimora, ma è poco manutenuta
Il Sg. Mario, che è il titolare del tabacchi di Gerace, e sua figlia sono molto disponibili.
Il Brillo Parlante che è l'osteria da loro consigliata è molto valida. La struttura consta di ampie stanze, ma non è ben tenuta.
- Gloria (8/5): -
- Domenico (5/5): - Struttura storica Troppo storico direi antico con bagno non accettabile e accessori anche un po' horror, è uno stile che deve piacere. A me non è piaciuto!
- Eliana (10/5): -
- Stefano (10/5): - Ampia e confortevole stanza in un palazzo storico nel centro. Ottima accoglienza da parte del Sig.Mario, il proprietario. Nulla da segnalare
- Filippo (10/5): Exceptional - Location storica in borgo medievale
- Gerlando (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional - I rated this as exceptional, because the location and the Palazzo are like stepping back into the Middle ages. It's a wonderful ancient building with hidden gardens and incredible architecture. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to step back into history. Also, it's very roomy. The kitchen wasn't very clean or organized, but that didn't matter because it was such an exciting place to be.
- Maureen (3/5): People seem to view this property through rose tinted glasses! - . If you view this property through rose tinted glasses then you are in for a treat. Yes it's a old plazzio with a certain charm and history but unfortunately that's where part of the problem lies.
The kitchen has lots of pots pans plates utensils a microwave fridge freezer and a washing machine. Gas hob. Tea towels cleaning products
The bathroom is functional and clean. With plenty of toiletries should you need them.
The lounge and bedroom are clean. The dining area is clean. The apartment is large with interconnecting doors.
That can be locked. The setting the village of Gerace is stunning. On the morning of our arrival I contacted the owner to let him know the approximate time of our arrival via booking.com we had no response. We arrived in the village about 17:30.
If you use Google maps with the address that is on booking.com you will be taken to the other side of the village with absolutely no hope of finding the property. After wandering around aimlessly for about half hour we decided to look for the centre of the village, we asked a couple of people they had no idea where the property was, I tried ringing the owner no answer. By this time it was gone 18:00 we were tired after a long journey. By sheer luck We just happened to ask a women who knew the owner Mario at the tobacconist.
Mario showed us the property which as stated earlier bears no resemblance to the address on booking.
If we had not stumbled across a women who knew the owner I'm not sure what we would have done as their had been no communication from the owner at all.
We had left the car at the other side of the village so we had to walk back get the car so we could collect our belongings. Be aware parking in the centre of the village is difficult we where very lucky to get a parking spot.
Once we moved the car closer to the property we had to carry suitcase up the alleyways to the house as the cobble streets will wreak the suitcase wheels. The apartment we had was up a flight of stairs so more lugging if elderly or with health issues you may find this difficult.
Once in the apartment we where shown the sitting area (shared) bedroom bathroom and kitchen.
I don't know where to start, although the apartment is stuffed full with old furniture the whole place is tired and not of a great standard. The kitchen is old and tatty albeit clean. And it's shared something that evaded me when booking ! That's my fault but shared kitchen that's not acceptable at these prices.
- Ingrid (5/5): Passable - It is really quite hard to find and it looked like it was last done up in the 70's. However for a genuine experience you couldn't fault it.
- Hernan (8/5): Very good -
- Hernan (8/5): Very good -
- Giulio (10/5): Exceptional - Historic palace. Big rooms with lot of character. In Historic centre. Nice and helpful hosts Nice rooms but some have outside bathroom . Was exclusive to room but no problem for us
- Diana (7/5): Good - Unusual configuration and decor No signage, difficult to find. No wifi. Cluttered.
- Wouter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wojciech (10/5): It was the best place we experienced with Booking.com. - We happily extended our stay at Gerace and Palazzo Caracciolo for another two nights. I can only repeat what I wrote commenting on the first night's impressions:
It was the most unusual place I've ever stayed. The "palazzo" is real and very autentic. You cen touch the ages of it's history and feel the atmosphere of this place. It's worth money much bigger than it costs. Rooms are big and comfortable. Furnished also with old furniture (some of them remembering Napoleon Bonaparte times). At the same time you can use bathrooms with hot water, very well equiped kitchen and nice, full of plants terrace. Also the town is magic and worth seeing. We spend wonderful time in Palazzo Caracciole, in Gerace and we're very happy we met Mario - the owner. Hi is wonderful as much as the Palazzo.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for authenticity, amazing atmosphere and communing with history. For me everything was perfect.
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Mario is very nice, a lovely palazzio, amazing location, great town. 10 stars! We will be returning in september, the local ice cream shop in the piazza is to die for.
The room was comfortable and clean, it was like being in an italian movie. Would recommend!

- Laura (9/5): Superb - An amazing place, full of character and absolutely superb location.
This is an old house subdivided into guest rooms. So not like your standard hotel.
- Fedemazzo95 (8/5): Very good - We came here to stay in this wonderful historical palace in the middle of gerace. The entrance and the garden were amazing. The apartment was sending us back in time making us feel like old lords of the town. Everything was alright
- Marie (9/5): Superb - The owner was amazing. Very kind and helpful. The size of our flat was about 100 m2 so we had a lot of space. It was very well furnished. We would like to vidit Mario again. Gerace is one of the most historical and magic places I have ever been. The roof terrace has breathtaking view. We definetely recommend it!
