Apartment with parking
Pleasant accommodation, welcoming and responsive host. Slightly noisy environment, with the railway not far away, but the accommodation is well located to be able to explore the surroundings. I recommend it!

La Vie En Rose - Vacation home
Because of travel, Alessandro was not actually on site, but instead, Mr. Leo, gave us a warm welcome and took great care of us since he was right upstairs. He made us feel like part of his family. We were always able to contact Alessandro through AirBnB to get quick responses when needed. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised since the unit looked much better than the photos. The unit is actually very bright and open with an up-to-date kitchen. Everything was spotlessly clean. There was even a washing machine in the bathroom for our use. Diamante is a very lovely town to explore with lots of murals, views, restaurants, and shops.

At Grandma's house 👵
Nadia welcomed us warmly. Due to a road closure, there was no direct route to the accommodation. She provided support and everything went smoothly. We liked the lovingly furnished apartment very much. It was wonderful to listen to the frogs in the evening and finally hear a rooster again in the morning. We were very pleased with the loving restoration of the ancient house. The beautiful old town reflects real Italian life. We will be happy to come back.

Maradei Vacation Home
We were welcomed by Serafina ( sorry if I forgot your proper name) and she explained everything very well. She did not speak English and we don't speak Italian but we menaged to understand each other. The place was everythingit how it was described on the airbnb website. The beds were vary comfortable. Nice bedrooms. Super clean. The kitchen had everything you might need to cook a meal. Every room has a good air conditioning. The porch is small but just enough to enjoy your morning coffee. There is also the ground level sitting area with the chairs. There is an electric grill which we used once. Good grill. Fast and easy to clean. Highlight of that area is outside shower. We had shower inside in the bathroom only our first night in the airbnb. The place is close to the beach, 5-10 minute walk. 2 bikes were really useful for us for the trips to the grocery store. Great place. Thanks Santo!
