La Dolce Vita

Catherine and John Santa Barbara, California, USA
Review Submitted: October 11, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband and I fell in love with Malvito at first sight. It is simply a very beautiful place. The mountaintops are sprinkled with other villages and below the valleys are dressed in many shades of green. Goats meander with bells gently clanging around their necks. The castle ruins on the hill inspire. There are grapes everywhere and red peppers, huge fig trees, oleander and bougainvilla. We watched the sun rise and set from our balcony, ate at the pizzeria, saw the local soccer team play and hiked everywhere. We were lucky enough to be present for the feast day of their patron saint. The festivities were lovely and memorable.

Our landlord, Carmelo, was very attentive to our needs and made our stay most enjoyable. Our flat was well-equipped, clean, comfortable and in working order. We enjoyed the ease of being there. The pace was slow and relaxed, the town sleepy and right out of a picture book. If you want to see Italian countryside at its best, this is it. A very very sweet place.
Owner's Response: I'm so happy for all of your kind words. It's all the things I think of my hometown, Malvito, and you added the words to it perfectly. Anyone staying will appreciate all of the colours, views and "la dolce vita". perfect guests.......please come visit again. carmelo

hidden gem

bobeff west palm beach, florida
Review Submitted: July 2, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
we had no idea what to expect except internet pix but were more than pleased with this light, bright, modernised apartment home: high celings, large rooms, and fully equipped (once we learned to take advantage of the efficient gas stove) the apt. could use a microwave or toaster, but it was easy to improvise! make sure you don't mind an uphill walk from your carpark...for us it was a reminder we were stepping back to a simpler time in this simpatico, magical, medieval hill village/fortress
Owner's Response: So happy that you enjoyed your time in Malvito. The apartment is bang in the historical centre of the village, perched on a hill top, so uphill walking is something you definately have to get used to (but the downhill is great!)
perfect guests, thank you

off the beaten path...

Sandy from NJ NJ
Review Submitted: March 11, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2007
off the beaten path but well worth the trip to this tiny hilltop village. We stayed a week in fall 2007 and enjoyed this apt...nothing fancy but very neat and clean. Owner and caretaker were very nice and helpful.
Owner's Response: Thanks Sandy. We value our customers and do the best for you. Would be lovely to see you again. Once again, many thanks. Carmelo
