Guest Reviews
- Ruben Daniel (10/5): - Todo , fue como vivir en el medioevo con la tecnología actual.
Un sueño hecho realidad.. Un poco que los negocios y resto esre prácticamente cerrados de lunes a viernes.
- Beta (9/5): Thanks - The overall vibe A bit to many things hanging on the ceiling if you are a tall person
- Margaret (10/5): What a gem! Such a gorgeous area and fascinating village. This spot is absolute perfection. - Well appointed, the bed was incredibly comfortable, beautiful views out of each of the windows. It was in a fascinating area and we wish we could have stayed longer! Host was very responsive.
- Michelle (10/5): Perfect spot for a stay in Calcata. - It was very cosy, comfortable bed , had a beautiful view and right in the village. So many restaurants and shops right there and can easily hike into Valle de Treja. Owners gave great directions for parking and how to get into the village. They were there to meet us and to take us to our room.

- Fabrizio (9/5): Un rifugio in pietra antica situato su una rupe sospesa su un bosco. Location autentica molto suggestiva che trasmette c - Le pareti in pietra grezza
Il soffitto con travi in legno
Il pavimento in cotto antico Niente
- paolo (9/5): Soddisfacente - Aprirei l'armadio perché chiuso con lucchetto e doterei di caffè la cucina visto che c'è la macchinetta per farlo.

- Rene (10/5): De locatie, de gastheer alles klopte. Prijs / kwaliteit verhouding buitengewoon goed. - Tijdens mijn fietstocht vanuit amsterdam naar Rome was dit veruit de meest mooie en idyllische locatie van de hele reis. Kan niets verzinnen.
- Gabriella (10/5): La struttura ha contribuito a rendere il soggiorno molto gradevole - Posizione eccellente con vista panoramica ampia e immersione nella natura circostante.
Cura dei dettagli secondo uno stile originale e atto a garantire ogni comfort.

- Elisa (10/5): - Posto incantevole!
- Anna (10/5): Un tuffo nel passato - Avevamo bisogno di staccare dalla vita frenetica della città, smanettando su Internet abbiamo scoperto Calcata e Officina Alchemica. Che dire, tutto ha superato le nostre aspettative, sembra di vivere in un’epoca remota, dove la pace, il silenzio e le piccole cose diventano la sostanza della quotidianità. Consiglio vivamente a chi vuole ritrovare pace e quiete questo posto fuori dal mondo.
- Cudalb (10/5): - Atmosfera magica che riconette al'anima! Grazie ❤️
- Alessandra (9/5): Consiglio.. - Posizione silenzio
- Sante (9/5): Calafata posto magico e questa location rispecchia l’atmosfera non vi aspettate il 5 stelle altrimenti rimarrete delusi - Posizione e camera affascinante molto mistica vista fantastica ! Migliorerei confort del letto

- Misha (10/5): - The place was giving you vibe of medieval cozy living. We didn't want to book some modern place, but place that gives you the atmosphere of medieval Calcata at it's best. The Host where really friendly and had a fantastic shop of natural and herbal perfume, oil and other.
I highly recommend for best and authentic experience!

- caterina (6/5): Bene ma non benissimo - La posizione dell'appartamento e' sicuramente suggestiva. L'interno e' stato riadattato in maniera originale utilizzando materiali semplici (anche fin troppo). Non mi piace il self-checking perché non entri in contatto con il posto. L'appartamento va bene per il pernotto di un giorno ma non e' adatto per cucinare e mangiare (cosa che generalmente cerchiamo) .
Avrei trovato volentieri una bottiglia di acqua fresca in frigo, benissimo quella del rubinetto.
- Barbara (10/5): - Einmalig Lage mit wunderschönen Ausblick.
- Ciro (10/5): -
- CARLO (10/5): Il nostro soggiorno a calcata è stato come sempre qualcosa di unico - Mini appartamento situato al centro con una visuale da sogno

- Erhard (10/5): Exceptional - A perfect accommodation that pulls you out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The old town of Calcata is very small, beautiful, and full of charm. Everything is just a few minutes’ walk from the accommodation. Surprisingly, there are plenty of dining options in the area. Everyone we met was very kind. The view is breathtaking. The bed is comfortable, and the apartment is well-equipped and tastefully furnished. Perfect. -
- Cristina (10/5): Exceptional - We loved it! A great experience—the property was clean, comfortable, quiet, and perfectly located in the heart of Calcata Vecchia. Nothing was missing. Visiting Calcata and staying here was one of the most beautiful experiences we've had.
- Giovanni (7/5): Very special experience in a unique environment - The view is spectacular and the style of the room is very original.it really has a special character It was not easy to find and given the bad signal in the area we had to walk quite a bit around before finding the host and getting instructions ..also we realized after dinner there was not hot water in the room ..we felt bad disturbing the host so we waited until day after and were told perhaps the cleaner forgot to set it …
- Nebojsa (10/5): To really feel the vibe of Calcata you must make a sleepover - and this is the right place! - Awesome location in the old town, yet secluded, right above the cliff, amazing views, friendly host.
- Valther (10/5): Dream apartment in the dream City - Fantastic little rustic apartment in the historical center of old Calcata. I enjoyed it so much and would love to go back soon Everything was perfect. There's nothing negative to say about this beautiful place.
- Tõnis (10/5): Exceptional - For me it was a dream come true, to stay a birthday in an ancient mountain village in the middle of nature. The small apartment has an authentic historic feel, excellent views of the wild valley and a touch of living at an alchemist's, with all the details and dried plants floating around. The weather was cold and rainy during my stay, but the long hikes in the valley and climbing to the castle ruins on the opposite side of the valley compensated it all in heaps. I'm very happy the property was available during my trip.
The managers are very helpful, you feel very private, but when needed, they're always around. Don't forget to visit her Botanist shop next door! Nothing really. there's nothing to complain about.
- Nialish (8/5): Amazing views, such a beautiful cosy apartment and friendly hosts. Calcata is such a picturesque place to spend weekend - Well maintained being in such a location Bed wasn’t very comfortable

more up front info on restaurants discounts. eating in "the. cave." what is that??
..a map with wording on...better idea on parking......as you loose signal....if said...walk through main gate...up hill through tunnell...to square...turn right....would be helpful ..
being told the arfternoon on the day you arrive isn't good for planning...for example we had already booked to eat...
unloading the car at the gate....for me I would'nt leave my hubby to go off and park alone...he would get lost....lol....not your issue but just a view to condlsider
also 3pm check in....if you arrive early..you have to park up...walk to town...go back to car up hill in 40degrees...no fun lol...maybe be a little more flexible?
a headboard would be better with stone wall and brick dust...
no shops so bear in mind people also need to carry food and water...
and an adaptor to be able to use the kettle and hairdryer....they are two big for sockets..
as I say preference not dis-likes....
just some better comm's
the photos look like to have a door out to seating but you don't..its down the front of the room..out the front door....where visitors also have access to walk down....
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible experience, really great. Fireplace can be tricky to operate at times.
- Price (10/5): A 16th centuary escape - Such a beautiful place tucked away in Calcata Vecchia, very peaceful and it really did feel almost as if you were living as they would back in the 16th centuary there! Federico and Kristina have created a really beautiful guest house, there are so many amazing little details that just make this place magical! A bit difficult to find the door to the guest house at first
- William (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location, beautiful views and great couple who were easily accessible and quick to respond to any questions.
- Dominik (9/5): Superb - Spectacular place
- Alisa (10/5): Amazing and wonderful stay ! - If you are fortunate to visit Calcata this property has to be the most wonderful place to stay. Charming, atmospheric, warm and spacious. In a perfect location with the most amazing view. Kristina is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great communication and very good info for easy check in. A special place for sure. 💗 Leaving
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chad (8/5): Whimsical stay with great views and an ancient allure. - The location is wonderful. In the heart of Calcatta. So no driving to the room😅. Well appointed and nicely done - it has all one needs for a brief trip. The location and whimsical nature of the place is really the selling point. The views are also spectacular. The room is small, with everything in the single room. But then appreciate that you are staying in a very old place.
- Balazs (10/5): Exceptional -
