L'Ariete

We stayed 4 nights as part of a multi-base walking holiday. The countryside around L’ariete is a perfect location for easy/moderate walking in unspoilt countryside. You can do a number of signposted circular walks from the front door. The setup at L’ariete itself was perfect for our needs. The accommodation was spacious, clean and tasteful and with glorious views of the open countryside - (and orioles and hoopoes). Great choice of local/seasonal produce (strongly recommend buying the olive oil). Andreas and Martina are great hosts and work hard to create a friendly, unhurried atmosphere.

Fabulous place, relaxing and comfortable accommodation. Friendly and informative hosts. Martina's food is fantastic and very reasonably priced. The kids loved the pool area and there is also quiet time around the pool for adults. Great location and altogether a wonderful stay.

Our stay at L'Ariete was wonderful, all the things a holiday should be. An extraordinary combination of wonderful, artisanal food (beautifully cooked by Martina) and our daily invigorating climb up to Montone meant that we left feeling refreshed and full of energy - exactly what we were hoping for. The film festival that was on while we were there was the icing on the cake. Martina and Andreas could not have been more kind and helpful - offering excellent advice on possible places to visit. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend L'Ariete and are already looking forward to returning next year.
