It does look a bit of a blockhouse, but is pleasant enough inside. We were lucky enough to have one of the rooms overlooking Altomonte and you get a great view of the village. The light at sunrise and sunset can be excellent. You can even see the sea! The barbieri family all contributed to make it a good experience.... More

We have celebrated our wedding in Altomonte (Palazzo dei Giacobini) and stayed at Hotel Barbieri in December 2010. What an incredible experience. Michele Barbieri and his family are very professional yet make feel you like an old friend.

Felt like we were at a convention venue. Hotel is used for weddings, receptions, conventions. Lacks the charm of the town. Rooms very modern as was the hotel. The restaurant was just average. If heading to Altomonte, I would recommend Il Castello di Altomonte.

Hats off to the staff at... More

The hotel is located on the outskirts of a 14th Century village atop a large hill with panaromic rural views. So far it has only largely been discovered by Northern Italians during their summer vacation. It is no longer... More

This beautiful hotel overlooks the Pulino mountain range and the lovely town of Altomonte. We enjoyed a six night stay in comfortable large rooms with a balcony. The bathroom is a bit small and only consists of a shower stall. A buffet breakfast was served complimentary with the room, which we chose to eat outside at a table on the... More
