Family hotels and homes in Ruoti

Lovely place. Owner very pleasant along with his niece. He booked us in to a local restaurant that was a Carnivores Paradise. He walked us (3mins) to the restaurant and introduced us to the owner.

If you had planned to spend the night in Potenza, then Ruoti is a much better choice. The quiet, cozy and crooked streets are a perfect place to wander around. Here you will also find a city walk, where famous former citizens are presented with their history and artistic works to illustrate their achievements. The road up to the center of Ruoti is both extremely steep and winding. Antonia met us on the way to make sure we arrived safely at the city's square where the car could be parked. From here it was only a short walk to the beautifully restored house from 1885, which has been owned by Antonias husband, Marcos, family. We were lucky to get "the sunset room", a large and spacious room with a view, a super good mattress and cozy corner. The very big bathroom had both a tub and a shower. Everything was spotless clean and tasteful. We were invited up to the cozy terrace, where breakfast is served on sunny and warm days. Marcos offerd to book a table for us at a local restaurant. Fortunately, Antonia and Marco followed us to the door, otherwise we would never have found the place. The  entrance was through the butcher's shop. The butcher, his wife and an assistant were terribly busy serving us and other guests, but were never too busy for a smile and a friendly remark. We had a very large selection of grilled and fried local specialities and mozzarella and it is also possible to get both fries and salads. The breakfast was the absolute best of our 2 week vacation with bread, home-made jams, home-baked cake and fresh fruit, juice and of course both coffee and tea. The stay with Antonia and Marco was in every way an unforgettable experience.

The house was super clean, spacious and comfortable. Located in super adorable city centre with a Mountain View! The host was super friendly, helpful and flexible! One of the best stays during our holiday! Definitely recommended!

Cleanliness and location in the city centre

I had a comfortable room in this building in the old part of town. I arrived by train and it is about a ten minute walk uphill from the station but I had missed the owner Angela's message that she would pick me up at the station. Angela will help with whatever advice you may need about the local area. A great choice for my stay of a couple of days in this friendly and welcoming part of Basilicata.

Beautiful setup with all these small buildings. There are dogs, chickens, goats etc. To me it feels like a good place to wind down.
