For me everything was perfect.

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.

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!

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.

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.

. 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.

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.

No signage, difficult to find. No wifi. Cluttered.

Unusual configuration and decor

There was nothing not like about the property.

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.
