Hotel A Piattatella

Words do not do this place justice, but I will try.... The Hotel: set into the trees and mountainside overlooking the valley and opposite mountains provides the most spectacular views of this beautiful part of the beautiful island. On many occasions, all we could hear was gentle birdsong - no traffic or aeroplanes - nature ruled over everything. Our "standard" room was more like a premium room, with a fantastic view - and so comfortable and tastefully designed. The in-house food was delicious and of such high quality local produce and preparation. The Staff: every worker in the hotel was lovely and friendly - no request was too much. When we asked for recommendations for eating locally, they booked both the restaurant and taxi for us - and every restaurant was amazing. They were also very patient with my attempts to speak French! Although classified as a hotel, it felt much more personal than what we imagined. And it's not just about the material consumption - everything is so well thought out - the place and the people have a real soul and depth. The 4 days we had took us away from the physical and mental noise of normal life. It was like a 2nd honeymoon and we didn't want to leave. I write this review as I want to express our joy with the place and staff, but I don't want too many people finding out about it - too late now!

Perfectly stay & friendly stuff!
