Il Casale di Don Matteo

I met Matteo on the first night of our stay since google maps had the address off a bit further up the road than it actually was. He guided us to the hotel and we settled in. When we first saw the passageway for the road that led up to the place, we looked at each other and thought no that can’t be right….it’s right! Very small but truly Italian! We were treated like absolute royalty. The breakfast was fresh, authentic and delicious. Don’t fool yourself when considering this place, it’s off the beaten path but offers that truly genuine cultural experience that couldn’t be replicated anywhere else. The have pigs, chickens, turtles, budgys , fruit trees and gardens. I had a hard time leaving, thanks to Matteo and his family for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!!!❤️

This is a great place to stay if you want to get a feel for how local village people live. It's a true immersion into Italian culture and language. Perfect for backpackers and travelers on a budget. Staff was accommodating and friendly, and Teresa is a wonderful cook who served us a 5 course breakfast daily. The indoor room was very comfortable with good storage space and a beautiful ceiling. However, there was insufficient toilet paper, we were provided with one roll for a 2 night stay. I would also caution that it may not be safe to take late evening walks. We noticed stray dogs and a few bats in proximity.

Exceptional stay at Matteo! One of the best locations, the room, the food, and the hosts, simply amazing! Thank you, Theresa and Matteo!!!
