“Cosy room with great views!”
+A lovely, cosy room in the middle of Bova with a magnificent view of the village and the sea in the distance. The actual room is even nicer than it looks in the pictures. Carmelo was very helpful and communicative. If you’re here midweek out of season, check with the owner which restaurants will be open and maybe ask them to book.

+Met in square to drive to parking area. Accommodation was clean and provided gluten free items for breakfast. Nice small garden.
−Not a problem for us but for those with limited mobility there are stairs internally and to and from accommodation. Churches in area were closed.

“Exceptional”
+Bova is a very special little village in the Aspromonte mountains. The houses are located like an eagle nest around the rock. This means, that there are only little streets and no cars around the B&B (park close to the police station, 3 minutes walk, but steps). The B&B is in an old house, but totally new renovated. From the little balcony/windows it is possible to see the ocean. There is also a little backyard garden for breakfast. It is very charming and if you want to dive into a romantic greek-calabrian mountain village, it is a perfect location. Nice hikes are also around. The contact was via WA, everything was smooth.

“Superb B&B with a lovely view and the best host”
+Had a lovely stay at Carmelo’s freshly renovated B&B La Ginestra. The top floor room has a double and a single bed and a French balcony with a beautiful view south of the lush, surrounding mountains and the ocean. The room has an ensuite bathroom and shower. Hot water came straight away and was abundant. The wifi was super fast and always worked perfectly. There is a backyard from which I had breakfast every morning. Absolutely peaceful and lovely to enjoy the sun and the birds chirping. There is a shared kitchenette on the bottom floor with a fridge, sink and two hot plates etc. Bova is a very particular, fascinating and beautiful town with Grecanic roots, perched on a hilltop at approx 850 m height. The road getting there is quite alright and never really too narrow not to be able to accommodate oncoming cars (two cars in width). The B&B itself is located a short walk down in to the town from where you can park your car. Within a 5-10 minute walk, you will find several lovely hikes in to the breathtaking and beautiful Aspromonte National Park (recommended: loop to Amendolea and back as well as the loop up to Montegrosso and back). Carmelo was truly a superb host and acted like my

“Eine wunderbare Unterkunft!”
+Eine wunderbare Unterkunft! Alles ist neu renoviert und sehr sauber. In der kleinen Teeküche findet man alles, was man für das Frühstück braucht. Der Kontakt zu Carmelo war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten zu zweit das Dreibettzimmer, was aufgrund des kleinen Balkons mit Ausblick und ein wenig mehr Platz sehr angenehm war.

+Ta oferta jest perfekcyjna- można napisać opowiadanie ! Kontakt z Gospodynią, Francesco życzliwy, dziękuję za szczodrość :) B&B i miejsce - po prostu przepiękne, można spełnić marzenie - zostać i zamieszkać w samym środku starożytnego miasteczka w górach. Takiej Ciszy dotąd nie zaznałam.

+Sehr schön sanierte kleine Unterkunft in toller Lage im Stadtkern. Netter Außenbereich zwischen den älteren verfallenen Häusern des Dorfes. Frühstück vor Ort mit abgepackten Kleinigkeiten. Insgesamt sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt

“Esperienza molto piacevole Ok”
+Esperienza molto piacevole. Il posto è curato e accogliente, la pulizia impeccabile. Il proprietario è stato gentile e disponibile. Ci torneremo.
−La posizione è molto buona, unica piccola pecca è che se piove non puoi arrivare davanti alla struttura in auto,ma questo ci sta perché si trova nel cuore del borgo e le stradine sono tutte piccole.
