Wonderful!
My husband and I stayed in IONIO in the begging of October 2018. Giovanni and his wife are wonderful hosts! They mostly speak Italian but we communicated through translater pretty well. They were very helpful and at the same time, didn’t disturb us.
The place is great, quiet and secluded though it’s pretty far from downtown. The road is quite steep and winding and barely illuminated at night so it’s not intended enough for pedestrians - we wouldn’t recommend to stay here without a car. The car can be parked in the villa’s patio.
We could hear our neighbors (the other guests of the villa) but it wasn’t annoying and the terrace was entirely ours and private.
The apartment is not big, but there is everything you need, all is like on the photos. Very clean; the bed is comfortable. There is a small kitchen (stove, refrigerator, grill and sink); bathroom has a bidet, hot / cold water supply is fine, though the shower is a little cramped. Wi Fi works well. The towels and bedding were replaced once.
Breakfast is served every morning from 7:30 to 9 am (pre-specified time), and it is always the same (eggs / omelette, toast, cereal with milk, croissant with jam, fruit, coffee / tea). It would be great if the dishes were more varied, but everything was delicious.
We also ordered dinner ones there (fish menu), one menu included 3 dishes and drinks. It was delicious, home-style and made with soul :) The price more or less corresponds to a similar menu in a restaurant downtown.
In general, we really liked everything, we had a great vacation, and we thank the hosts for the hospitality and excellent accommodation.
