monica

Charming location for those who love privacy, but unfortunately surrounded by ongoing renovation work. Unique view. The host is welcoming and helpful. Cleanliness and attention to detail. Breakfast adequate for the price paid. For those who like to walk and be away from the crowds, it's great.

stayed from 08/30/2025 to 09/01/2025

The answer from the host:
Grazie della recensione Monica, per quanto riguarda i lavori di ristrutturazione invitiamo i nostri ospiti a segnalare il disappunto anche tramite i social per sollecitare l’amministrazione comunale, ce ne fareste cortese favore. Cari saluti.

marco

Manager not very helpful. Breakfast not up to standard. The ratio between cost (180€) and services provided is unfavorable.

stayed from 08/23/2025 to 08/24/2025

The answer from the host:
Grazie comunque del riscontro; chiariamo solo che il prezzo è per 3 persone e che dare il voto 2 alla Colazione significa che ha mangiato roba marcia e non è sicuramente il Nostro caso ….

johanna

The place is charming and atypical, very quiet. The room is large and the bed is comfortable. Deborah is available. However, the insulation is not optimal and in the morning you can hear the noise from the kitchen and the hallway with the other guests, which is annoying. The breakfast is also disappointing (a croissant, some toast, and industrial cakes) and needs improvement. Finally, it's not the owners' fault, but all around the BnB there are construction works, which spoils the view.

stayed from 08/01/2025 to 08/04/2025

The answer from the host:
Grazie del riscontro Johanna che ci aiuta sempre a migliorare; purtroppo la difficoltà negli approvvigionamenti e nel trasporto ci rende impossibile fornire prodotti freschi soggetti a rapido deterioramento però terremo in considerazione le tue osservazioni. Per quanto riguarda i lavori in corso sarà tutto presto risolto ed ultimato.

The structure is in the heart of a cloister that overlooks the islands and from where you can walk among the seagulls along a path of aromatic herbs. Nights rocked by the wind that shakes the tops of the pines, the lapping of the sea and the incessant screeching of seagulls and diomedeas. The owners are very kind and infinitely helpful, we have returned for the third time. It is a place for those seeking contact with nature, a return to simplicity and to free the mind. The sea around the islands is turquoise, many boat excursions can be done, inflatable boats can be rented or simply reach the coves on foot. The history of the cloister is very evocative, the island of San Nicola is less touristy than the nearby San Domino, but it is connected by frequent ferries and inflatable boats. We will definitely return :)

marta

The structure is right in the cloister behind the church, a place of peace where we felt "like kings of the fortress"! The room was spacious, clean, and well-furnished. The breakfast, with the excellent slices of homemade cake, was good. Debora gave us all the useful information for our stay on the island and recommended the excellent 4-hour boat tour around the islands, which we did with Roberto Calabrese. Everything is ok.

The cleanliness of the structure is impeccable; the breakfast, served in the garden, is excellent and abundant. Debora is helpful, attentive, and also provided us with useful information for our stay. Highly recommended for those who want to experience a relaxing holiday on the island of San Nicola.

The accommodation is very conveniently located, you can walk here from the station and are close to the main street, the old town, and the beach. It has been recently renovated and is comfortable. What makes it outstanding are the hosts Teresa and Gianfranco. They are super friendly and helpful, I highly recommend staying here!

B&B located on the highest part of San Nicola with a breathtaking view. The structure is quiet and clean. Debora is very kind and helpful, we were assisted and reassured as we stayed on the island longer than expected due to weather-related issues! Next time I will definitely return to Il Chiostro! Thank you Debora.

marisa

The structure is very unique and suitable for those who want to rest in silence and tranquility, without the comforts of modern life. The room is simple but clean, too bad there's no small refrigerator, although the landlady is still available to meet your needs as much as possible. Breakfast: there's no buffet so you have to tell the landlady what you want, it could be improved in the offerings... for example, a bit of fruit and maybe some typical homemade sweets from the area wouldn't be bad. We will definitely come back in a few years because it was an unforgettable place!

The only downside is that it is not easily accessible, but it's worth it!

maurizio

The structure offers everything it promises: a simple and quiet accommodation in the most enchanting place on the island of San Domino, which turns into an oasis of peace and almost unreal silence after the departure of the last boat of daily commuter visitors. Only the view from the balcony of Il Chiostro at all hours of the day and night is worth the visit. The welcome is both friendly and discreet: if you ask for advice and tips to make the most of your stay, they prove to be occasions and opportunities that will be unforgettable.

We stayed for the first time at the Tremiti Islands and chose this bed and breakfast based on the information found online. We were completely satisfied. San Nicola is an absolutely enchanting island and this bed and breakfast has a picturesque and exceptional location, very suitable for those looking for tranquility and relaxation. Debora is a very friendly and always available host; she welcomes you with a smile and immediately gives you all the useful directions (and they are very useful!) for staying in these spectacular places. It is a stay that will surely remain in your heart. We recommend it.

giusy

Beautiful location, the highest point on the island (you need to be sporty to get there!), nice outdoor area of the structure, the interiors quite spartan and clean, but the main problem was the bad smell of dampness coming from the bathroom (ground floor room) and other details that could be revised to make it more pleasant.

Bed & Breakfast excellent if you are looking for tranquility in the Tremiti Islands because the island of San Domino, rather chaotic, can be admired from its belvedere; the 360-degree view is spectacular, wonderful especially at sunset. The Bed & Breakfast, small and cozy but with spacious and tastefully furnished rooms, overlooks a comfortable garden where breakfast is served. To avoid surprises, you should consider its location in the upper part of the island next to the Abbey, reachable by a walking path along the walls of the small village. Upon arrival, in addition to the friendly owner, there is the dog Mattia to welcome any four-legged friends, as was the case for me. When you leave the Tremiti Islands, remember Il Chiostro along with the color of the waters, the cliffs, and the many coves and caves you visited.

We left this bed and breakfast with a heavy heart. Ancient building tastefully renovated. Spacious and welcoming rooms. A garden to relax and have breakfast, located in the highest part of the island where you can enjoy magnificent sunsets and a pleasant breeze. Deborah is a truly gracious and welcoming host. Her dog Mattia is almost like a butler. For us, it was the ideal solution to enjoy a beautiful and unique island like San Nicola. We hope to return soon.

For 6 years every summer I come here because besides being magnificent and spectacular I feel at home, pampered, and comfortable. Every time it's an emotion to see the B&B and especially The Chiostro that always welcomes us with a smile and her invaluable availability, together with her wonderful dog Mattia who greets us with a toy in his mouth, wagging his tail ready to play with us. The nature, the landscape, the tranquility, it feels like paradise. The breakfast is plentiful and the rooms are well-kept and magnificent, what more could you want? Only 10 for this structure because unfortunately there is no possibility to give a higher score.

The structure is relatively spartan and precisely for this reason suitable for a holiday in complete freedom. The place is splendid and from the garden you have a breathtaking view of the sunset. The owner is friendly and kind. The breakfast could be enriched a bit and it would be convenient to have a fridge accessible to guests at all times or a small fridge in the rooms. However, good, recommended to fully experience the atmosphere and suggestions of a place still fortunately little contaminated.

At Il Chiostro one feels privileged: at the peak of the island, facing a spectacular panorama and immersed in a surreal peace, time seems to lose meaning. The owner and her dog are adorable! Recommended for those who love nature, simplicity, and are not afraid to walk a bit!

I stayed two nights at the B&B The Cloister on the Island of San Nicola Tremiti. I chose it because I was attracted by its location and tranquillity. It is set in a unique, extraordinary context, rich in history and architectural beauties, where you truly breathe a magical atmosphere. I thank Debora and her sister for the advice on visiting the islands; a sincere thank you also to Massimo for the excursions. Thank you for this unforgettable holiday.

If you want noise, nightlife, the sea a step away, aperitifs and movida, no, this is not the right place. Instead, a view that calms the soul, and then wind, cicadas, sun, seagulls, and slowness of thought and blue, then go up to the top of San Nicola. It is worth it and you start to think that you do not want to leave.
