transported back in history

We chose Calitri because it was close to San Fele where my father was born and to Bisaccia. We enjoyed our stay in the home. The people were very helful and friendly, from the neighbors to the people who worked in the internet cafe, the minimarket, and the bakery. Calitri is a medieval hill town. We felt at times that we were transported back in history.

We had a lovely stay. We can only confirm what has already been said about the apartment, the town, the people and the location. Nicole was indeed extremely attentive. One recommendation for those with a head for heights - visit the neighbouring hilltop town of Cairano. But make sure you drive up there by the longer and less steep route.

A Very Enjoyable Stay

We had a very enjoyable stay. Calitri is a very atmospheric little town, set in quite spectacular countryside. It's a good base from which to explore the area, though having a car certainly helps - we went to Castel del Monte by bus and taxi and it was quite complicated, to say the least. Like the other visitors, we found the people of Calitri very friendly, in spite of the rudimentary nature of our Italian! The Casa del Cipresso itself is very comfortable and well-appointed, and well situated for grocery store, internet cafe and bakery. All in all, a very positive experience. Robin and Sian

We had a very pleasant stay in Calitri. This property was spotless and had everything we needed to set up a base camp there. Calitri is a charming and welcoming town, with much history and beautiful friendly people. We enjoyed venturing out in all directions to Pompei, Amalfi Coast, Matera, Melfi and Alberobello. Every nearby town had something interesting to offer. In Calitri, the restaurants, while few in number, offered excellent food at very reasonable prices. We would definitely recommend to anyone considering an experience that is off the usual tourist path.

Once again Nicole has the perfect location for a holiday home. Calitri is an extraordinary place surrounded by breathtaking scenery and charming people and her townhouse is ideal for a complete rest. It's clean, comfortable, quiet and very welcoming thanks to Nicole's expertise in making guests feel at home.

What the others have said, really. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a little-known (to us, at least) part of Italy. The house makes an excellent base for travelling to the Naples vicinity or for exploring the truly stunning local scenery. Nicole was helpfulness itself, way beyond the call of duty. Many thanks.

We had a great stay in Calitri. The apartment was just as described, well-equipped and quite charming. The town was also a wonderful starting place for touring, with Pompeii easily accessible and the pretty Campanian countryside all around us. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Via Cipresso to anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay in true Italian company. Nicole could not have been more helpful in providing information by email and once we were in situ - we will undoubtedly be going again!
