Ciao,
my name is Gaetano and I am the owner of the B&B "Al vecchio pioppo". Before owning this wonderful property I have accomplished many other work experiences. For three years I studied at the University of Perugia where I was granted my veternarian degree, then for a couple of years I worked for the naval business which included securing boats. I also owned a beach establishment were I was a touristic guide. For many years I restored antiques and in the end to start a new job experience I transformed my home to a B&B became a wonderful experience because it lets me meet different people from different places and cultures. We're waiting for you!

We stayed at Al Vecchio Pioppo last week for two nights and we had a great time, just like at home. The hosts (Gaetano and Antonella) were exquisite, really down to earth. Very beautiful location, we had the Orange one in the attic, but above all it is located in a central point to all places like Maratea, San Nicola Arcella, etc. We will definitely come back. Breakfast ok with freshly baked croissants of various flavors to choose from.

Struttura veramente carina e pulitissima, dotata di tutti i comfort, molto ben localizzata, vicino alla stazione ferroviaria ed a 100 metri dalla spiaggia. La città è incantevole e posso dire lo stesso dei proprietari, Antonella e Gaetano, molto attenti e premurosi; ci hanno fatto sentire a casa e, su nostra richiesta, ci hanno preparato una cena molto gustosa, non ho mai mangiato delle melanzane così buone, ve lo garantisco!
Abbiamo visitato San Nicola Arcella e Maratea, famosa per il Cristo Redentore che veglia su tutti i paesi del Golfo di Policastro. ma un fine settimana è troppo poco per conoscere questo pezzo d’Italia, ecco perché ci siamo già prenotati per il mese di luglio, quando faremo il giro dell’isola in barca, con Gaetano. Quindi, è proprio il caso di dire: grazie di tutto ed a presto vederci!

Mi sono trovato come a casa mia. Se passate da Praia a mare, fermatevi a pernottare in questo B&B, non ve ne pentirete.
