    This is only a minor comment, but not a lot of water flowed out of the water tap in the bathroom.

    The host is very welcoming and kind. We had a great time staying at Mare and Monti! Parking at the accommodation requires driving up a steep path, hence, we parked next to the street instead. The breakfast was served on the balcony with a great view, definitely recommendable:)

    Paola was a such a wonderful host. She was very attentive to our needs and made great suggestions. From our room we could see the city and the sea-it was gorgeous. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable. We really loved our stay.

    AMAZING PLACE! Paola (the host) is the most helpful and nice person I’ve ever known. The view from the balcony is stunning. The room is cozy and clean. There is fridge in the room, big bed, private bathroom outside room. Paola gave us tips and tricks about surrounding beaches and she gave us bus timetable. Breakfast was on the balcony with amazing view, really tasty coffee. I hope that I will come back there soon or later.

    We (couple 64 and 63 years old) stayed for two nights at this B&B. Immediately after arriving we were warmly welcomed by Paula and Mario, the owners of the B&B. They did this with so much enthusiasm during our stay that we felt very much at home. The rooms are fully equipped and the breakfast was excellent. If we're in the area again, we'll be back!

    The place is hard to reach after 8pm if you don't have car because it's at the top of a mountain and there are no night bus. Count 50min by walk.

    Paola (the host) is super nice! The view from the B&B is beautiful! Perfect for the breakfast! The place is clean, and price is good.

    We loved it, just remember it’s well out of town.

    Mare e Monte is at the top of a very big hill aka the mountain part with a fabulous view of the sea from our balcony. It is like staying with your favourite Nonna. The house is wonderfully old style Italian, we had a pink chenille bedspread, and full of thoughtful touches. There was a little fridge in the room to keep a bottle of wine cold and a China bowl of fruity lollies. Paola, provides a comprehensive continental style breakfast spread, there is toast, slices of cheese, ham &salami. Fresh tomatoes and fruits from local gardens. A jam tart. Coffee, tea and orange juice. She had a bottle of soya milk in the pantry to cater for my no dairy daughter and gave us lots of helpful maps and timetables for all the busses. The busses are a bit random, lots early in the morning and then very few during the day and finishing around 7:30 in the evening. We took a taxi home one night and it was about €20. Oh and we loved the local restaurant La Gira, it is super popular with locals, so do book as recommended. It’s not fancy and if they can’t give you a table you can still get a drink from the bar. You can buy fresh fruit, bread, cheese and meat from the little shop just at the bottom of the driveway. Open till 7:30 pm for a DIY picnic on the balcony.

    The location was a bit far from the city center and the buses are not very frequent.

    Paola and her husband were super nice and very welcoming. The room was clean and the breakfast was very delicious as well. They are very hospitable and helpful. They are the best homeowners that I have ever experienced. They treat you like you are one of their family members.

    The location is a bit far from the station, but once you figure out how the buses work, it's really not a problem at all.

    Paola is very nice, welcoming and helpful. The view is amazing. It includes breakfast which is great.

    1. The "Mare" room had no air aeration at all. During the heat wave, when we stayed, the cold night wind came only from the mountain-facing side of the house, not the "sea view" side of the house. Only one (and loud) fan is not enough to get even a comfortable night of sleep in these conditions. We recommand the host to invest into air conditioning as heat waves are expected to be more and more frequent. 2. The breakfast was a mix of bakeries (by the way very good!) but the salted part of the breakfast felt rather cheap & limited (industrial bread, rectangular slice of cheddar).

    The location (incredible small restaurants nearby, both cheap, local and good, not that hard public bus to get to the house), an incredible sense of welcoming, very detailed advices from the host, little attentions & gifts everywhere in the room.

    If we knew the location is so far away from city , we should booked a different location.

    The breakfast is ok or minimum. The location is extremely inconvenient if a person doesn’t have a car. The only means of transportation is the bus which is very irregular and often times need to wait 45 minutes or an hour to show up. The bus schedule is also unreliable.
