What guests say

Reviews consistently praise the property's central location within Apricale, its picturesque setting, and the tranquil, scenic atmosphere. Rooms are noted for their cleanliness, comfort, and unique medieval charm, though some feature steep staircases that may be challenging for guests with limited mobility. Guests highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts, as well as the generous, often homemade breakfast, even if a few mention limited savory options. Access by car can be difficult due to the pedestrian nature of the village, but overall, the experience is seen as authentic and highly enjoyable for those seeking a special stay in a historic setting.

It was a very nice stay in Apricale. We were also lucky that a theatre festival takes place in the summer and thus were able to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine.

What a delightful B & B nestled in the medieval city of Apricale. The location is perfect (right near the main square and chateau). The hosts were responsive, kind and very welcoming. We stayed in the triple which was fixed up wonderfully while keeping the medieval charm. We would highly recommend this B & B.

The location and the interior infrastructure are not suitable for elderly people. The external access and especially the access to the interior rooms is very difficult. Too bad because the rest is perfect.

The room 'La Grotta' has a lot of charm in absolute quiet, there is all the necessary comfort. Watch out for the access to the room, stairs a bit steep but that's also what makes it charming! It was very good, courteous welcome and good communication.

An amazingly scenic town with plenty of small cobbled streets to explore. I arrived on the first evening of a 10-day long evening Shakespearean theatre performance. Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming local populace, and felt very honored to be there. The car park is a little awkward as there are few roads wide enough to be able to park close to the accommodation, but it did mean it was quiet. The room was really quaint and very comfortable, with great views over the gills to the side. A coffee on arrival, and homemade cakes in the morning as part of the breakfast were delicious. A great find in the middle of the summer holidays. Thank you.

Apricale is a gem, 'B&B Da Marta' is at the heart of the gem. Apricale is a 'pedestrian' village, luggage is carried by hand. For the rest, only compliments: the renovation, the kindness, the cleanliness, the communication, the welcome. Everything makes you forget how tiny the room is (The hayloft). The only suggestion for breakfast, which is only sweet... (or maybe just needed to ask?): considering how good and fresh the bread is, some cold cuts and an egg would have been nice! Thank you Paolo, the stay in Apricale was pleasant also thanks to you!

B&B Da Marta is a beautiful house in the historic center of Apricale, all built in stone, like the rest of the village which is a true jewel of peace, authenticity, and history. Lovely room, clean and spacious, with a view of the cliff. The owners are very kind and dear. Good breakfast. I would come back, and I would highly recommend it.

simone

We stayed at B&B Da Marta and we had a good experience. The place is beautiful and the structure is very characteristic. Unfortunately, we suffered from the cold due to the season. The room, located in the barn, has a view of the valley. The two windows are very unique! The breakfast is plentiful but limited to only one cake, although it's good! The stairs to access the room are a bit steep, so they might be a problem for those with mobility issues.

We had a great time, Paolo and Barbara are very kind and helpful people, the barn room where we slept was adorable, clean, simple, and special at the same time, there are two small windows from where you can see the magnificent forest and the sky, we couldn't ask for more. The breakfast, served by Barbara with loving care, was delicious, she is always ready to prepare what you like the most. A nice place to come back soon, with the cold approaching I would like to enjoy the room with the fireplace they have. Like a fairy tale.

In the heart of the splendid village of Apricale, the B&B "Da Marta" opened the mystery of the houses in this small town, projecting us into a dimension of other times with the comfort of modernity. We slept in the room called "Grotta", actually an ancient shelter for rabbits, now transformed into an extremely characteristic environment, with its steep stairs and its stone walls, but warm and welcoming, with the small balcony overlooking the blooming mimosa trees. After a sleep lulled by absolute silence, we were surrounded by the attentions of the hosts, who served us and the other guests, along with the cappuccino, an excellent homemade cake just baked. It was a totally positive experience that I would repeat immediately and that I absolutely recommend.
