Hotel Barbieri

First time in Altomonte and had a fantastic stay at the Barbieri. All of the staff and the family are very welcoming and accommodating. We had a great dinner in the restaurant served family style. We did not take advantage of the pool but it was very nice looking. Highly recommend and will be back again Grazie Mille Barbieri

We were on an “all inclusive” tour when presented with this hotel, first impressions were good. It scores on its location high on a hill opposite the town itself on the opposite hill. However, on detailed inspection, the hotel is dated. The rooms were small and basic. Ours was gloomy and the TV didn’t work nor the air conditioning. You can never be certain how much a tour company dictates what you receive but whilst we found the food acceptable it was not great. There was a limited menu, all pre-booked the day before and served plated. The included wine was little more than “petrol”, absolutely undrinkable. The wine on offer for sale is little better. It is family run and they work like Trojans and are accommodating and friendly. We were looked after very well. Perhaps we were at the end of the season but the hotel looked undermanned with areas blocked off and all in all, uninviting. There is absolutely nothing in the vicinity and to walk to the town on the opposite hill is a hard “slog” and it has very little to offer other than a small church and a viewing square at its peak. The bar was frequently unattended and the lounge gloomy and uninviting. A nice terrace invites but here the service is erratic. Three nights here was more than enough.

Recently paid a visit to this hotel and had an excellent stay. The big plus point of this hotel was the friendliness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel is on the edge of the town with a 10 minute walk to the centre. Very picturesque town but also very hilly. If you have walking problems then avoid. Excellent swimming pool and the food was good. I would thougherly recommend this hotel, really enjoyed our stay. The only negatives were the size of the shower which was minute. I understand some rooms are being refurbished. Keep up the good work.

The hotel gives the appearance of being lifted from a film set. It is 500 feet high and situated on one side of a valley. The town is on the other. There is a terrace over looking the town with seating and large umbrellas. Several bedrooms have a balcony providing a panoramic view of the countryside. and town's church on top of the hill. There is a lovely view of the town in the evening when it is lit up. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere as it is family run. Items for breakfast suit all tastes. You pre-order your evening meal. The pool area is a good place to relax.

Lovely family run hotel. Cost hotel, well run by the family. Rooms slightly dated, but this added to it's charm. Wi-Fi is spasmodic, but the beautiful scenery and hotel outlook more than make up for this. Would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday

Situated high with a wonderful view of the village in front this is a dream location with a scented tree shaded terrace. The hotel boast a good swimming pool with awkward access. The let down was the food. In spite of the Michelin red award breakfast was meagre. Dinner generally poor - eat out unless they radically up their game. Rooms are a little small by modern standards but clean and there are balconies on the second floor facing the splendid village.
