Casa Ferrari in the amazing city of Gerace is a true gem. The location overlooking the town is a dream come true. Breakfast on the balcony in the morning is a special treat with homemade preserves and fine coffee. Giovanni was a most welcoming host and went out of his way to make our stay the most wonderful experience. A true dream to experience. Grazie mille Giovanni!"

A super stay - with the nicest of people. Gianni was a most generous host; Valeria was exceedingly helpful in getting me to the local Greek ruins when no public transport was available. A fine old house, well-equipped room, and a splendid breakfast on the balcony with tremendous views down over the countryside and the Ionian Sea.

Some may not want the early-morning wake-up call from cars descending the lane below the window! But it's all part and parcel of life in a facscinating medieval town.

I had the room with the balcony overlooking the coast and the sea, and it was like a dream come true. Keep the balcony door open during an afternoon nap and you will be flying with the chirping birds. The whole house is set in a very tasteful bohemian interior design, as you can already guess from the open entrance yard that is filled with potted plants. Most notable, however, is the landlord who lives here alone. If you let it happen, you don't just rent a room in his home, but you dive into his life. A Woodstock generation philosopher, I would call him. One night he offered us wine on the balcony and when he heard where my friend studied, he went off and returned with a narrative he had written decades ago about the city and recited it, skillfully staggering back and forth in the rhythm of the tale. The next night, he offered to cook a fantastic dinner and we emptied another two bottles of his local wine, talking about western cultural developments of the second half of the last century (if I recall correctly. My Italian is clumsy.) Had I known beforehand, I would have stayed longer than only a couple of days.

The mattress was not of hotel quality. It's a BnB after all.

Really enjoyable stay. Lovely place, great host. Lots of great coffee while looking across the sea from the balcony. Particularly at dawn. Open fire on a cold evening too! We'll be back!

The location was on the outer wall of the hill town so great views, parking was close to the property and free. Our host recommended a place to eat which was perfect. Breakfast was great and served by our knowledgeable host.

Everything! The house with character was clean & comfortable. Giovanni made us feel at home welcoming us with a bergamot juice on the balcony. He served a generous breakfast with homemade tart, bergamot juice, jam etc. The view from the balcony of the Calibrian landscape and coastland us breathtaking, by night and by day! Giovanni have us good advice too. We'll come back!!

Nothing wish we'd stay longer.

It was in a great location. Breakfast on terrace. The host went out of his way to help us in our search for family. He even took us to the train station.

There was nothing we didn’t like

It’s a great B&B though in reality a wonderful house in the sense you are at home from arrival and first meeting with one-off host Giovanni. Location is quite exquisite with widescreen view of Ionian coast from breakfast balcony, 200m walk only up into old town where panorama is even more expansive. Truly don’t miss if in this part of Calabria

Niente

The breakfast included home made jam tart. But the star item was exquisite Bergamot marmalade which I could eat until it comes out of my ears.

Gerace is a wonderful historic hill town. It has no taxi nor regular bus service so I would strongly recommend car hire to give the best enjoyment of the locality.

very comfortable, host very welcoming and helpful, wonderful breakfast and wonderful view from balcony. Rooms spacious , quiet, relaxing, very homely

A lot of steps to climb, but that unavoidable on the hilly terrain
