Agriturismo Agricampeggio LA SOSTA

You really do feel at home here. It's a great place to unwind, with courtesy and cleanliness clearly a priority. Special mention for Antonina's food: genuine dishes, carefully made with top-quality ingredients from the garden.

The hospitality made our holiday, and we'll be back soon. My husband, our dog Lord, and I spent eight days at this farmhouse in August. The place is lovely and well cared for, and the food they make is excellent. Cristina's generous breakfast was the best, with all kinds of donuts and tarts, plus homemade crepes with Nutella. Antonina's authentic cooking was another highlight. A 10 from me.

We won't be coming back. The owners were rude and unwelcoming, and we had no mobile reception while the Wi-Fi didn't work. We stayed 12 days on half board. Breakfast was the same two tarts and a chocolate roll, with no croissants, just a few slices of ham and salami and a mini cheese. By day five, dinner had become even more meager: rosticciana (roasted pork chops), tortelli (toasted pork chops), two chicken strips, and a few teddy bears. When we asked for something more, they said we'd have to pay for it, so we ate elsewhere.

The farmhouse was a good base for outings: we visited the Tarot Garden and Argentario, and the sea is only one kilometer away and visible from the property. We came for a long weekend, my parents, the rest of my family, and me, and booked two rooms. Each had a porch or little terrace with a table and chairs. The whole place is clean and well kept, with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers on the table every day. The food is homemade, authentic, and excellent, using produce from the owners' garden. There are also bungalows and parking for campers.
