I had a pleasant few days stay at Carmen’s. The room is spacious and pristine. The playground/park below creates a nice surrounding, with occasional noise from children/youngsters. Mountains in the distant were a delightful view. The room would suit well people who set out early and come back late. In addition to the host’s list of amenities, I recommend visiting Sosilia Cafe and Bopo bar for breakfast and snacks, with plenty outdoor seating space. Near Bopo there is an outdoor market on Saturday mornings selling fresh fruits and vegetables, clothes, cheese and other essentials. You can reach Citta’ Alta by walking through Parco dei Colli> it’s a scenic route which may take a good hour, depending on how many pictures you take and how much you want to enjoy bathing in the green. There is a santuary called Santuario della Cornabusa which is worth a visit although it requires a half an hour on a bus (tickets can be purchased from Barrito Tabaccheria 15 minutes walk away, towards Petosino) and an hour uphill walk. Enjoy your stay!
