Reviews of Il Giardino d'Ulisse

Cinzia at Il giardino was great - had my morning coffee on the terrace while she painted , and a conversation between us in Italiano-English . The terrace is a great feature. Great location and she gave me a number for taxi to book in advance for airport before I arrived- great tip - thanks to Massimo . I would recommend this as a short stay anytime . Xx I booked this trip without research - Ryanair flights were cheap ! I turned out to be a great choice . It’s the end of June and tourists are very low in number . Easy to get around Reggio Calabria on foot . I spent one day here , a second day - went across on the ferry to Messina (7 euros return ) and a third day on the train ( 7 euros return too ) to Scilla . It’s a great place to travel out from as RC is too small to spend many days and that’s what’s great . Scilla - had a great swordfish sandwich in civico 5.

Nothing - it was great. Location - it was quiet , very quiet and that’s not for everyone of course .

Look of the apartment Comfy bed Great communication from the host

Hole in the bathroom wall Kitchen equipment was very poor and difficult to cook with Very cold water which took forever to warm up TV not facing bed

Hotel room was beautiful. Unfortunately we were only there for 1 night. Great location for what we needed

Really great stay, good location close to the castle, city centre and train station. Cafe, supermarket, fruit & veg shop very nearby. Host provided lots of information about accessing the property and nearby restaurant recommendations which were great. Really nice rooftop terrace to enjoy the sun.

Personally nothing negative. Those with limited mobility should note there’s steps access the main property.

Cinzia was extremely helpful sending us lots of recommendations on whatsapp, the place was beautiful lots of homely touches and really stylish, it felt truly italian. The roof top terrace was perfect for evening snacks and wine and our balcony was too. Walking distance to a stunning beach and lots of shops and resteraunts.

We didn’t have breakfast as it wasn’t available or we were not aware of the way to order it.The location was a 15 minute walk into the town but it was hot weather.The upstairs outside area was beautiful

Not a lot of contact with the owners and no info to find our way around.There was one room which was shared by two separate units which made it more difficult than we would have liked.

Beautiful place to stay

Nothing No

Exellent room that was comfortable. Really nicely decorated and maintained with exellent seating areas. I would recommend staying here 👍

The room we stayed in didnt have blinds that fully shut out the sun.

The property was beautifully decorated with an amazing decorative steps and terrace. The rooms were well presented with everything you could need for a short stay. The room we had had a small balcony which was lovely to sit out drinking and eating in the evenings. The location was an easy to locate and a 20 minute walk to the centre which was a perfect location.

Although the room was slightly smaller than expected for a king studio it had everything you could possibly need for your stay.

No hot water, no coffee. Disappointing.

Beautiful rooms

Nothing

We felt extremely welcome and the minute we arrived it seemed like home. The Bedroom was very comfy and the bathroom looked very clean, there were many mirrors too. Cienzia was very easy to deal with, the service was excellent! She showed every time 😍🙏🏽

Very easy to check-in automatically, no need to wait somebody, who should open the doors. The property has a comfortable shared territories and terrase, where you can enjoy the local views. For all, who looking for the apartement with possibility to cook, it is a good option. The very friendly hostess of the property, who make an original and unique design of the each apartament. Just after the corner you can find the good grocery shop with fresh farmer’s berries and fruits.

Nothing to mention.

Amazing! Perfect!

The accommodation was very stylish, beautifully presented, clean, relaxing space, felt safe with gate access only, gorgeous outdoor terraces to relax, listen to the birds, felt like its own oasis, Cinzia incredibly helpful and responded promptly to questions, thank you Cinzia

Nothing

Confterble sleep, beautiful designed and arranged place, very lovely host

Lack of frying pan, wine opener, kitchen knife

Loved the decor and little touches

I'd perhaps be based nearer the shops and restaurants

The person who let us in spoke minimal English, so google translate was a bonus. Having to leave the key in the front door all the time, and the owner just walking in to get things was a bit disconcerting.
