Villa Genny0

For us the location was excellent and very convenient to walk (up!) to the center of town, with many cafes / bars and restaurants. Arriving there by train, we were happy that Alfonso could pick us up as there are limited to no alternative transportation options. Being there to do genealogical research (grandfather and great grandparents all born there). The cemetery was a bit of a walk in the heat but helped to burn off some of those pizza calories. Alfonso and his brother were excellent hosts and responsive to our needs. Morning breakfast included choice of coffee (americano, capuccino and espresso. ) and wide assortment of packaged pastries. We can highly recommend the pizza restaurant Nap'licchie where we ate almost every night with excellent pizza and house wine for a unexpectedly low price. The room was much bigger than we anticipated and had windows opening to a gorgeous view of the country side. There was a small balcony to step out on but a little small to sit. It even included clothes lines so we could do our laundry in a typical Italian fashion. (Opera singing optional :) We didn't discover it till almost at the end of our stay, but there is a small, but well stocked grocery store right across from Bar Central on the Main Street. More convenient the Spar which is down the hill and was closed when we tried to go. As you probably know, Candela is a hill town, so you should be prepared for walking up and down many stairs. Not really wheelchair friendly. We spent a week there and loved it, especially hearing the chimes of the church every fifteen minutes, which can be heard throughout the town including at Villa Genny. Many houses, built of stones, including my grandfather's birth house, are from the 1800s. Be sure to check out the church (the oldest in town) at the top of the hill (stairs!!!). Great view from there. Explore and have fun! Don't forget to stop for gelato.

It was hard to rent a car and there was little to no public transportation including Uber and other ride shares. We didn't have car so we got lots of steps in town. Next time we will likely get a car so we can more easily visit surrounding towns and area.

Our host was absolutely wonderful. My daughter and I arrived late at night and he made sure our car was locked and secure behind a gate. He was very caring and translated for us in English as we didn’t speak Italian. The room was more than adequate and very clean. We had a lovely breakfast the next morning . Thank you for a lovely stay .

Beutiful old building in the small but charming town of Candela. Easy to reach and good parking possiblities. The rooms are spacious and have high sealings and beautiful old stone floors. The owner is very welcoming and gave us directions to three different resturants. The breakfast, with bread, yoghurt and pastry was served by the owner who made fresh coffe of our choice. A very nice little hotel in old style.

Fantastic beautiful Italian property with nice views and perfect italian style breakfast. Nice, clean and tidy rooms, with good facilities. The host is a very kind.

Very poor wifi (usually even lack of wifi signal)

The rooms are spacious and elegant with many characterful touches. the house was extremely clean a true family home, and most comfortable. also good parking and convenient to walk to the centre of town.

we loved it all!

central to the little town so a little walk to cafes, restaurants and charming character of the old history. our second visit to Villa Genny and fully recommend the hospitality of Alfie.

The staff was very nice and accommodating of a late reservation booked at the last minute. They were very attentive as they made coffees for us in the morning at breakfast and showed us around the big beautiful old house. They added an extra bed to our room for my son upon request.
