Ci siamo fermati una notte per la penultima tappa sulla via degli dei. Ambiente famigliare, la camera spaziosa e abbiamo dormito benissimo, sicuramente ha aiutato che non ci fossero altri ospiti. La cena molto buona, forse in generale il rapporto qualità prezzo è un po’ basso ma la posizione sul cammino dopo monte senario è favorevole.

Dormito per l' ultima tappa della Via degli Dei, 26 giugno 2025. Posizione eccellente in quanto è proprio sul percorso, lungo la strada. Eravamo in 4 per cui eravamo in una camera quadrupla con letti singoli. Abbiamo dormito bene in quanto letti comodi come pure il cuscino. Ambiente pulito, così pure i due bagni con doccia e il bagno di servizio. La cena buona e molto semplice (delle lasagne e della caprese). Unica pecca (ma già consigliato a Lucia) la colazione in quanto era scarsa a riguardo cibo (sarebbe stato gradito delle torte fresche e del pane in più). Tutto sommato siamo stati bene anche con gli altri ospiti (che avevamo già avuto modo di conoscere durante il cammino). Lo consiglio per la posizione, per il panorama e per la frescura.

Tappa cammino degli Dei, la signora Lucia é stata ospitale, simpatica. La camera aveva una piccola finestra non era il massimo, bagno in comune con altre tre famiglie. La colazione come a casa

Good place to stay when hiking the Via Degli Dei as it is right on the route. The host was very welcoming and made a lovely dinner. The bed and pillow could be more comfortable in my opinion. An outside seating would be nice as it is rather dark inside the house. Overall a good experience, more on the pricey side in comparison to other accommodations along the hike.

Ci siamo fermate durante il cammino degli dei. Siamo state accolte con molto calore. Abbiamo cenato lì con una cena casalinga. I letti erano in camerata erano comodi. Fornita di tre bagni utili soprattutto se si è in tanti. La proprietaria disponibilissima e accogliente.
