Search hotels in Tricarico

My wife and I took a November drive from from Naples-Lecce-Naples, with intermediate stops. One of them was in Tricarico. The Palazzo Laureano - Dimora Storica is a beautifully and recently restored mansion located right next to the city's cathedral. The restoration is superb. The Manager, Maria, met us at the door, checked us in, walked us through the ground floor and up to our room on the third floor. Five rooms are off a large and beautiful sitting area. The room offered a nice view to the west. It was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped. The photos speak for themselves. Breakfast was very good. On day three Maria gave us a tour of the Palazzo, including five of the twenty or so rooms, family suites and apartments. The hotel is owned by a chef in Rome, and he has collected most of the furnishings, including sculptures, carvings, and even a very nice (real) Model A Ford (!) in the lobby. In November the town is very quiet. Two good restaurants are nearby, and in each of them we were the only diners for much of our meal. (When Tourist Season ends in Tricarico, it ENDS!) Still, we walked the town easily, seeing the Convent with its beautiful murals, the Saracen Gate, the Norman Tower (closed for us), and the Cathedral. An hour away was the amazing abandoned city of Craco (look it up!), a must-see which can only be toured in a guided group. The E11 fee was money well spent. We had a great time in Tricarico, and we were sorry to leave the Palazzo.

The host gave us a tour of the town. That was interesting.

From start to finish, this was a wonderful stay. Luigi (the owner) welcomed us right we arrived. He brought us up to the check-in and kindly reminded us of the nearby parking options, available spa services, and how if we needed any help or had any questions, he and Donna (the front desk manager) are always available. The restaurant food was excellent, and the chef accommodated our vegetarian diet for dinner. Wine selections were ample. We stayed in one of the larger rooms, which is very modern and comfortable although we barely spent any time in it since there is so much to enjoy in Castelmezzano and we were there during a two-day festival. The natural beauty; the culture; the historic sites (this village has an amazing story, dating back more than 1,000 years); and the gentle, soulful spirituality that invites you to connect keeps us coming back. Hopefully our next visit will be a little longer.

Beautiful apartment in the city a little tricky to fine but worth the adventure! Great breakfast included at a local bar.

It was in a beautiful little town. The property had a wonderful little terrace with an amazing view. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped. The host was friendly responsive and very helpful.

We loved everything, but especially our hosts and the very helpful people who live in the village. My car battery ran flat overnight and so many kind men came and assisted. It was a memorable stay, for all the right reasons. Accommodation was really lovely, and the food and coffee in the village was good too.

The property and room have been renovated perfectly, it has everything you might need, and was extremely comfortable. Communication was easy with the owner all by phone.
