Lovely Italian B&B
We had a lovely stay at La Zagara, the owners are very friendly and hospitable and can’t do enough for you. The owners asked us on arrival and each evening what time we would like breakfast the following morning and put on a typical Italian continental breakfast for us. Our room was spacious with a small balcony and washing line. Room was clean, comfortable had a boutique feel to it. There was a TV, air con, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. La Zagara is only a short walk from the main square and there is a bus stop which is just outside La Zagara. There is a small shop opposite La Zagara. B&B is upstairs so could be tricky for those with mobility issues.

Location fantastica vicino a Piazza Duomo, Monastero dei Benedettini, casa di Giovanni Verga. A pochissimi minuti c'è una ottima pasticceria/panetteria, si trovano prodotti buonissimi, è chiusa il lunedì. Camera pulita, bagno piccolo pulito, mi sono trovata benissimo. Colazione portata in camera, buona. Mina e la signora Carmela sono gentilissime e disponibili. Ci tornerò e lo consiglio.

Il mio soggiorno qui, anche se breve, è stato ottimo. Mina è stata molto gentile e disponibile. La stanza ed il bagno erano pulitissimi e l’ambiente in generale è curato. Altro punto positivo è la vicinanza al centro storico e ai punti di interesse principali della città.
