Not having a kettle in room for tea but walking up to kitchen wasn't a big deal.We had an old mini bar fridge in our room and I didn't realise it was just a feature and put food in that we were travelling with.......I could have used large kitchen fridge if I'd realised.Finding the place was tricky but we just stopped and asked a local who looked after us very well.

An amazing place it was like staying in an old castle with the thick stone walls.The room and bathroom were very large.Views from our bedroom were stunning looking out to sea.It was quiet surprisingly (often you hear other guests in old places ) and very peaceful.Bed was very comfortable and plenty of hot water in good shower.Breakfast catered also for us non sweet eaters with fruit, great juices, eggs,yoghurt and brown bread.You were able to come up to kitchen during day to make tea and coffee.Great selection of books, mostly Italian though.Parking was not too far and wasn't busy.

Everything about this stay was perfect - we can't recommend it enough. Maria Teresa was so welcoming. Our room and the hotel was out of this world in an old but beautifully refurbished property. Our bed was huge and so comfortable. We ate at Maria Teresa's restaurant and it was the best food we've ever eaten in Italy - all Calabrian specialities. Breakfast was superb with a really good selection of local juices, jams and panettone. The village of Fiumefreddo is stunning with views out over the Tyrinnean sea and winding atmospheric streets to explore. So highly recommended and do stay more than one night!

I can’t think of anything negative to say about our experience at Residenza d’Epoca

Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in southern Italy the hostess, Maria Teresa went out of her way to accommodate us and made us feel super welcomed.

Was a bit hard to find, but Maria Theresa was there to help. If you have trouble walking up steps or carrying your luggage, may be difficult for you.

Fantastic staff. Maria Theresa is one of the most hard working person I've seen. The accomadation was interesting. Full of history. The village is gorgeous in the old rural Italian way

The location is really special. The Residenza is located in the middle of the old town. The views are amazing. Maria - Theresa is a wonderful host. Very hospitable and always ready to help.

The shower could do with a little bit of maintenance work although I did not mention it to Marie as it slipped my mind

Marie the manager is the most helpful person I have met for many a year. Nothing was too much for her from the moment I arrived to the day I left she was always very attentive

The residence was charming and perfect for our short stay. The location is great and has fantastic views out to sea. Maria was extremely welcoming and helpful - we look forward to returning again very soon.

The location is amazing. The sea view from the terrace is the Best. Nice place for relaxation. The most important thing is Maria Teresa, she is very helpful and available every time. She made our stay amazing.

Gorgeous historical building tastefully restored with amazing original features throughout. The room had views of the sea, and the shared roof terrace has an almost 360 view of the mountains and sea. Stunning location in tiny but enchanting town. Maria Teresa was a friendly, accommodating and helpful host.

This property feels like you are staying in a historic museum, there are so many interesting things to look at and explore. The property is large, and the rooftop terrace is spectacular. The host, Maria Theresa, is incredible - she was so helpful, kind and clearly very passionate about the Borgo and the palazzo.

Parking is a little tricky (as the entire village is situated on a hill), baggage has to be carried through quite steep and narrow lanes. But no problem, as the friendly staff was pleased to assist!

Beautiful restored historic house in the center of the small village. Nice view of the sea from the room and the terrace. Very friendly staff Very good breakfast. Restaurant of the same owner is just a few minutes away.
