Holiday Rentals in Ruoti

If you had planned to spend the night in Potenza, then Ruoti is a much better choice. The quiet, cozy and crooked streets are a perfect place to wander around. Here you will also find a city walk, where famous former citizens are presented with their history and artistic works to illustrate their achievements. The road up to the center of Ruoti is both extremely steep and winding. Antonia met us on the way to make sure we arrived safely at the city's square where the car could be parked. From here it was only a short walk to the beautifully restored house from 1885, which has been owned by Antonias husband, Marcos, family. We were lucky to get "the sunset room", a large and spacious room with a view, a super good mattress and cozy corner. The very big bathroom had both a tub and a shower. Everything was spotless clean and tasteful. We were invited up to the cozy terrace, where breakfast is served on sunny and warm days. Marcos offerd to book a table for us at a local restaurant. Fortunately, Antonia and Marco followed us to the door, otherwise we would never have found the place. The  entrance was through the butcher's shop. The butcher, his wife and an assistant were terribly busy serving us and other guests, but were never too busy for a smile and a friendly remark. We had a very large selection of grilled and fried local specialities and mozzarella and it is also possible to get both fries and salads. The breakfast was the absolute best of our 2 week vacation with bread, home-made jams, home-baked cake and fresh fruit, juice and of course both coffee and tea. The stay with Antonia and Marco was in every way an unforgettable experience.

Beautiful setup with all these small buildings. There are dogs, chickens, goats etc. To me it feels like a good place to wind down.

Closeness to the escalator system and a lovely little bar next to it.

Everything about this place was exceptional. Sergio and Angela-Marie bent over backwards to help us and the breakfast was wonderful. We even had free parking. The best b&b ever. We give it an eleven out of ten!

Casa Retro is located at the top of the city of Potenza near the town's main Piazza. Every evening, many people go for a polite social walk through the street in front.
