About this property

Welcome to Albergo Diffuso Borgo dei Greci

Albergo Diffuso Borgo dei Greci stands as a remarkable retreat nestled in the heart of Buonvicino, Calabria, offering guests an authentic immersion into one of Italy’s most charming historic villages. Rated 4.5 stars, this unique accommodation blends rustic charm with modern comfort, providing an experience that is both intimate and enriching.

Located just 10 kilometers from the coastal town of Diamante, the borgo presents a serene escape for travelers seeking to explore Calabria's rich cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and culinary delights. The hotel’s distinctive concept of an "albergo diffuso" means guests stay in carefully restored village houses equipped with contemporary amenities including air conditioning and pet- and kid-friendly facilities. This allows visitors not only to enjoy the comforts of a hotel but also to absorb the authentic atmosphere of local life.

Hospitality at Borgo dei Greci is warm and inviting, defined by a cozy, homely ambiance. The rooms, furnished in a rustic style evocative of Calabrian countryside living, exude character and simplicity. Many feature period details, such as traditional wooden doors and quaint decor that reflect the village’s historic roots. Some accommodations offer fireplaces, adding to the charm, though their use may vary seasonally.

The dining experience is a highlight, with the on-site restaurant “Don Ippolito” celebrated for its genuine Calabrian cuisine. Guests praise the culinary offerings that showcase local ingredients and traditions, making every meal a moment of cultural discovery. Complementing the accommodations and gastronomy is a wholesome breakfast selection that sets guests up for a day of sightseeing and relaxation.

For those eager to explore, the area offers plentiful opportunities for recreation and cultural excursions. The nearby Tyrrhenian coast provides beautiful beaches, while the village and surrounding landscapes invite leisurely walks and exploration of Calabria’s historic and natural wealth. Although reaching the hotel from the seaside involves a mountain road with winding turns, the journey is rewarded by the tranquil village setting and breathtaking views.

Albergo Diffuso Borgo dei Greci stands out not just as a place to stay but as a gateway to authentic Calabrian life. It captures a rare blend of hospitality, heritage, and natural beauty that leaves a lasting impression on travelers. The brand’s commitment to preserving the essence of the borgo while offering modern hospitality comforts makes it an exceptional choice for discerning visitors seeking to connect deeply with Italy’s southern soul.

situato nelle vicinanze della nota zona turistica marinara di Diamante, è il luogo ideale per chi vuole trascorrere il proprio soggiorno tra natura, cultura e ottime pietanze tipiche calabresi. Il Borgo dei Greci dista circa 10 km da Diamante, ma ne vale la pena farli, perchè una volta arrivati ci si immerge in uno dei Borghi più belli d'Italia. La struttura offre diverse possibilità di alloggi in base alle esigenze e con cura aiuta i propri ospiti a scegliere la propria sistemazione. Il gestore, molto gentile e disponibile, saprà consigliarvi il meglio per il vostro soggiorno sia dal punto di vista territoriale, suggerendo le località da visitare, sia dal punto di vista culinario, proponendovi succulenti pasti tipici. All'albergo ci si arriva dopo aver fatto delle scalinate tipiche dei borghi e immersi nel cuore del borgo si trova Borgo dei Greci. All'ingresso c'è la reception dove il personale accoglie con cura gli ospiti. Le camere sono pulite e accoglienti fornite di frigo, asciugacapelli, tv e aria condizionata, il bagno anch'esso molto pulito e spazioso. Le stanze inoltre si affacciano in un balcone rivolto nella fenomenale veduta dall'alto della vallata dove si può ammirare anche il mare che si adagia tra i monti.. A vostra discrezione la scelta dei pasti, si possono scegliere le varie combinazioni tra la mezza pensione, pensione completa ecc. Noi abbiamo avuto il piacere di gustare dei piatti tipici di qualità, la cucina di "Don Ippolito" .. a partire dai formaggi, salumi, ma anche i primi e i secondi.. tutto davvero buono e preparato con cura.. tutto accompagnato da un buon vino locale. Anche dalla sala ristorante si può ammirare la stessa veduta che vi ho descritto prima.. Posto davvero consigliato !! #italiano

Abbiamo scoperto questo luogo davvero per caso, ma siamo rimasti molto contenti della scoperta. Le camere sono le piccole casette del borgo ristrutturate con tutti i confort di un hotel. Il ristorante dell' hotel diffuso 'Don Ippolito' la perla della serata. La posizione è a 12 km dal mare da raggiungere facendo una strada di montagna con diversi tornanti non piacevoli se si soffre di mal d'auto, ma se volete dormire sereni e poi andate al mare durante il giorno è un posto molto adatto.

Ottima ospitalità. Si avverte un accoglienza casalinga. Piccolo albergo, arredato in stile rustico. Situato nel mezzo del paese, il portone di ingresso in legno e molto caratteristico e si nota subito. Camere arredate con stile contadino, alcune dotate di camino (non credo che siano funzionanti). Ottima colazione e molto buona anche la cucina che propone un interno menù del territorio aventi piu portate, con i profumi e i sapori di una volta. Immerso in un paese a 400 metri sul livello del mare, la temperatura e sempre fresca. All'interno e presente anche un piccolo spaccio alimentare, comunque in paese, seppur piccolo, si trovano tutti i servizi. Il base. Senza prendere la macchina, a poca distanza si può prendere un mulattiera che in circa 40 minuti di passeggiata porta, passando in mezzo ad una valle, ad un piccolo gruppo di case di margari.
