Neive Homestays

My wife and I, and another couple, stayed at Ca Dei Curra May 9-12, 2024. First, to qualify my review, I have traveled to Italy many times. My wife and I are American, travel light, and frequently stay 2-3 nights at each Agriturismo or hotel as we travel. I speak almost no Italian; my wife speaks some Italian. I am a six footer; my wife doesn’t touch five feet. We are both 69. Perfection is not required, but clean accommodations (including floors, as I workout on the floor each morning), good beds, a nice breakfast, and pleasant and competent innkeepers are a requirement. Paolo and his wife were at all times friendly, courteous, professional, helpful (for local sights and restaurants), and Paolo’s wife is a wicked good breakfast tart maker. These two are gems, though you will deal almost exclusively with Paolo. The room was nicely made every day, the floors were clean enough to work out on without laying down a towel, and the bed was firm enough for us to sleep well. The rooms and bathroom are very large compared with other places we’ve stayed in Italy, and pretty good sized by American standards, as well. If there are any deductions, we stayed in the room apparently furthest down the hot water line, and we sometimes had difficulty competing for hot water in the morning. Also, it may be charitable, by American standards, to call his pool a pool. Though it would still be delightful on a hot day. Neither were so bad as to be material deductions. For value, this is one of the best places we’ve stayed in through the years. Neither my wife nor I would hesitate to book rooms there again, nor send our best friends there. It is extremely well situated for wine tasting in that region, and assuming the other guests aren’t Americans or Germans, you might even have a peaceful and quietly night, waking up to songbirds in the vineyard in the morning. ;-))
