Thanks a lot! Francesca & Carmelo are great hosts. The accommodation was perfect. Comfortable and big bed, well-equipped kitchen, clean bathroom and the whole place in general. Nice terrace with the view on the sea. Quiet neighborhood, the sea is just a few meters away. The Francesca's garden is really beautiful and suitable for relax in the shade. Seasonal fruits and her home-made liquor - limoncello was just great. However, we had problems with finding the place. Given adress Via Marina 69 is not exact, and you can not find it exactly even on the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps, nor car navigation. We would recommend adding GPS coordinates to adress description, because the street is really long and the house numbers are not always visible or actual. Coordinates are: (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)

Bova Marina is such a beautiful place to be, we were overcome with gratitude for Francesca who was truly an incredible host. She went out of her way with hospitality helping to arrange transportation when our train was delayed and taking us personally to her favorite market and butcher. She told us about the culture and history while introducing us to some of the kindest most genuinely wonderful people we have ever met. The apartments were simply perfect. Full amenities, everything you could need/want in each suit. The constant warm breeze from the sea (which you have a view of from the room) made the space so peaceful. Such tranquility in the immaculate garden that covered the property. We can't speak highly enough of our 4 days spent at Francesca's place in Bova Marina and plan to stay there again in the future. I would never stay in a hotel after such a brilliant experience! We met our "Bova mama" as she welcomed us with love filled hugs, taught us irreplaceable lessons and gave us the utmost hospitality during our stay. Truly Magnificat! Plus... She is an incredible communicator, even though we spoke little broken Italian and she just a small amount of English we had zero issues communicating and she helped us with our Italian sooooo much! We are so thankful for this experience!

The house is a gem, the garden is like paradise, the appartments are spotlessly clean and well-equipped. it is right on the beach. We were there on a Sunday in June, the town was dead though and not too attractive. The setting at the sea is beautiful though and I could live in that garden.

L'appartamento è ubicato in una zona davvero tranquilla, perfetta per trascorrere giorni in totale relax. Casa grande, davvero spaziosa, fornita di tutto il necessario, con due camere da letto, due bagni e balcone con vista sul mare. Si trova al secondo piano di una villetta in cui abitano anche i proprietari (piano terra). Pulizia eccellente. La signora Paola ed il marito si sono dimostrati molto gentili e premurosi, fornendo precisissime indicazioni per raggiungere la casa ed utili informazioni per la permanenza. Consigliatissima!

La casa si trova vicinissima al mare,l'appartamento è al 2 piano ed è ubicato in un quartiere tranquillo. Si presenta molto più grande di come appare nelle foto ed è parecchio luminosa.Paola e suo marito sono stati molto gentili e premurosi preparando in casa il necessario aggiungendo qualche (URL HIDDEN) locale a disposizione dell' ospite. L'appartamento è abbastanza fresco di notte e nelle ore meno calde della giornata,nel resto del tempo sarebbe servita un pó di aria condizionata prevista dai servizi,nonostante la richiesta all'host io e la mia famiglia non abbiamo potuto utilizzare il condizionatore; il telecomando non era presente nell appartamento. Esperienza tutto sommato positiva.

Il posto è molto bello e tranquillo. Ottimo l'appartamento, grande,pulitissimo e attrezzato. Fantastica la posizione, con le sue ampie terrazze si affaccia direttamente sul mare limpido e cristallino del canale di Sicilia. L'host è una persona squisita, precisa disponibile e gentile.

It's a wonderful place and very good apartment. Owners are very nice and helpful people. I'll recommend it to my friends.

We didn't meet Flavia personaly, but she was in control over it by text messages. Her father hosted us. We got really warm welcome "drink" (a lot of fruits and treats). The villa is placed in the heart of bergamot plantation about 10 min drive from the coast. The place was clean and really very stylish furnished. Flavia's father friendly took care for cozier sleeping for our sons. All in all everything was fine. We would definately recommend this place for romantic hide away or just to meditate.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

un garçon aimable et serviable malgré son retard...

Host veramente molto simpatica, consigliatissimo! L appartamento è semplice e funzionale, nuovo. Nulla di negativo, ed è veramente a pochissimi metri dal mare.

Apartment is just wonderful, right near the sea, light, spacy and convenient. Absolutely love to visit Bova Marina again and stop at Giorgia's place. It even has a dedicated, guaranteed parking space! Giorgia herself is a very friendly and responsible person, she did everything to meet us after the long road, despite our pretty late arrival, guide us to the apartments and gave us some food/beverages/wine so we was able to rest after the road without any worry. Thanks!

La casa, dotata di tutto e molto confortevole, affaccia su una bellissima spiaggia. e' stato un soggiorno perfetto. p.s. trovare la casa con (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps è stato difficile: fidatevi dell'appuntamento proposto da giorgia.

Bellissima esperienza, posto tranquillo x riposarsi, Giorgia e la mamma sn state gentilissime. La casa molto pulita, grande e cn un bellissimo soggiorno vista mare, mentre guardi la TV sul divano senti il suono delle onde sulla spiaggia. Mare bellissimo, soggiorno da rifare! Grazie mille

This flat is ideal for families or couples, it is a gated building with access to the beach and a garden overlooking the sea. Very well equipped and the host left enough food in the fridge to last a few days! If you are travelling to this area of Italy, DO BOOK this property, you will not be disappointed

Giorgias Mutter hat uns netterweise in Reggio am Bahnhof abgeholt , obwohl wir wirklich spät angekommen sind. In der wunderschönen Wohnung waren sehr viele Leckereien für uns bereitgestellt, auch selbstgemachtes Brot. Wir wurden perfect von Irene eingewiesen . Die Umgebung ist ausserhalb der Saison leider etwas menschenleer , aber das Meer war wundervoll sauber und warm.Giorgia ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die Wohnung ist mit allem eingerichtet was man braucht um sich zu hause zu fühlen . Danke für die tolle Gastfreundschaft

Giorgia and her mother Irene gave us a great welcom in the lovely flat directly at the sea front. The appartment is full of everything you could possibly want. The fridge is full of food, there's home made olive oil and you even get presents when you leave. Unfortunatly there is a train going right by your bedroom. In september the beach is nearly empty but if you like the quite live it's great. The village itself has no special atmosphere. But the people are friendly and the food is good.

Very nice appartment for a family with kinds. It takes only a minuet from the beach and there is everything that you need in the appartment e.g. parasol, chairs an a floating bed for kid. She was very friendly and we had great time there and would like to visit her appartment once again someday. The appartment doesn't have airconditioner but you don't need it since the cool wind blows from the sea and it was very nice to sleep while the windows are open. Thanks a lot Giorgia!

E stato un soggiorno estremamente piacevole. L'alloggio e tranquillo ma vicino alla spiaggia e al supermercato ed il centro del paese e raggiungibile a piedi. E dotato di aria condizionata e di balcone con vista sul mare, al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato la stanza pulita ed ordinata e dotata di lenzuola e asciugamani puliti oltre ad una cucina attrezzata. La signora Lucrezia poi ci ha dato la massima disponibilità per il check-in, siamo arrivati in piena notte. Sicuramente mi sento di consigliare questo alloggio. Una bella esperienza.

Aria condizionata e vista mare da un grazioso terrazzino...

No words can describe out experience there. Francesca is a superhost. The place is a pice of paradise. A super garden with sea view, 5m to the beach. As for Francesca, even if she can t speak english, made us understand everething. She waited for us at train station, took us on a tour by her car and allways assured we have everething we need. We will definitely come back.

Thank you Francesca for a wonderful memorable stay! We spent great 11 days and everything was perfect: comfortable apartment, great location and clean sea with a gorgeous beach. Bova Marina is a pleasant town with friendly people, the house of Francesca is conveniently located near the train station, shops and pastry shops with delicious coffee and pastries. The sea is directly in front of the house, you can hear the waves from the terrace! The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden with Acacias, oranges, grapes, rosemary and many other plants. It was very nice to sit in the evenings on the terrace with a glass of local wine, watching the child happily running and playing in the garden. The apartment is decorated in Mediterranean style, perfectly equipped. The hot water was at any time of the day without a problem! In September, the beaches were almost empty and the sea is warm and clean. A couple of cloudy days we took trips to Reggio and Sicily, which are located just a short distance from Bova. Francesca is a very attentive and caring owner, she was happy to help us with everything, it is a pity that the vacation ended so soon! Francesca, we will definitely be back!!!

Francesca might have been the best Airbnb host I stayed with. Communication with her was perfect even though she speaks as much English as we speak Italian, which is not much. The apartment was nice and clean, had all the amenities we needed. There is a big garden, and the beach is just on the other side of the road. You might want to know that there is a train line running behind the house, so if you are a light sleeper you might wake up a couple times at night - it was not a big problem for us (I did not wake up) and the trains are not that frequent. We had some trouble finding the place so write down the GPS coordinates: (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)"N, (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)"E Grazie mille Francesca!

We chose Bova Marina as a holiday stop for 3 nights to escape the crowds of mass tourists and experience real Calabria and relax without hearing another English accent! And it certainly did not disappoint! Francesca is an amazing hostess...instantly greeting us to our home for the stay and welcoming us with open arms! We instantly felt relaxed and one of the family! Despite the language barrier (our fault as we speak zero Italian!) we understood one another, laughed and Francesca gave is some fantastic recommendations for restaurants, ice cream bars and the local shop! The apartment is fabulous...quirky, artistic and with everything you could need! It is by far the best house on the whole beach stretch; set back in stunning, peaceful, colourful gardens and offering the BBQ, games and facilities advertised. You must stay (URL HIDDEN) is out of this world!
