    Beautiful rustic home right in the centre of Civita. Room was big and spacious. The host, Marianna was warm and inviting and put on an incredible breakfast every morning. The views from the terrace was beautiful. Highly recommend this place if you are staying in Civita.

    The bed wasn't great but still loved this place

    I loved this sweet guest house in the mountains. Room was so nice but bed wasn't so comfortable. Great breakfast on the veranda with amazing home made food. We loved our short stay here.

    Great location in fascinating village with a tight maze of streets on steep hillside with several nice restaurants serving ‘typical Puglian’ fare. Great views from room balcony and breakfast balcony. Wonderful host, welcoming, considerate and generous. Great breakfast, pancakes with fresh fruit, slices of thin frittata with eggs and herbs, slices of local cheese, range of sweet pastries and cakes, good coffees. Parking available.

    This is a very authentic home style experience with a gracious and lovely host. She provides embroided towels and home baked delicacies, to go with your warm, cosy and very comfortable room. The house is only 1 minute walk to the town centre. Fabulous place to stay at.

    Civita has very narrow, steep streets, and we had a tough time maneuvering on the road where La Sentinella is. The streets are part of the charm of Civita! But do be warned and try to drive a very small car if you are able.

    The breakfast was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease, and Marianna made delicious gluten-free biscuits, muffins, mini pies, and other sweets from scratch, and made sure that my food was kept separate from my husband’s (also delicious) gluten food. Aside from the baked goods, she made us a spread of eggs/zucchini frittata, caprese, fruit, prosciutto, and capuccinos. We ate on the terrace with a beautiful view over the mountains. The room itself was very cute and very clean, and our balcony overlooked the mountains and the entry into Civita. La Sentinella is also very close to the main piazza and short walking distance from all the sights and restaurants Civita has to offer. It’s also very near to the entrance of the town, and has good signage to find it.

    Mariana was an excellent host, one of the best I have encountered. Incredibly laid back and welcoming. The rooms are immaculate and fabulously decorated. It is a breathtakingly panoramic location As if it couldn’t get any better it certainly does. Mariana’s baking and chef skills are top notch. Hands down the best breakfast I’ve ever had with so many homemade cakes, pastries, omelets, fruit, juice, espresso and cappuccino. She even recommended a typical local restaurant for dinner and made reservations for us for an excellent dinner. A truly 5 star experience.

    We loved everything. Mariana is so friendly & helpful. Her English is limited, but a lot better than our Italian! We managed to communicate. The property is so charming, spotlessly clean. We had a double room with a terrace overlooking the valley. The scenery is stunning. A few steps from the piazza, there are some good restaurants in the town. Breakfast was a feast! Mariana is a fabulous cook. There were a multitude of freshly made cakes & pastries, fruit each morning plus egg if you want. She sets the table beautifully & serves you coffee. We loved our stay in this peaceful village. It's certainly worth the winding drive to experience & explore, but also to stay at this charming bnb.

    Lovely B&B in a beautiful historic town with breathtaking views. It is located on a small side street with lovely terraces to sit outside. The host was lovely- kind, attentive, and provided many excellent recommendations to experience the local culture and nature. The room was perfect for us and our two children. The breakfast was extraordinary. I wish we had time to stay here longer and visit the museum. Warmly recommend this B&B! Thank you!

    Absolutely nothing!

    This is such a wonderful place! It is a nice old building looking out on the mountains. The location is very central but very quiet. The rooms are decorated with a lot of attention for detail and thankfully nothing from IKEA in sight. But what really makes this place is the lovely hostess. She is so very friendly and so very accommodating. She prepares fresh breakfast, no pre-packed toast, jam etc, here but fresh fruit salad, freshly baked omelettes, high quality pastries and cakes. In this little B&B every effort is made to make you feel welcome.

    There is nothing that could be better, I would say it was perfect.

    The attention to every detail by the owner, from hand pressed, beautiful linens to a delicious breakfast which included a large selection of homemade pastries. This is a rare find and our stay could not have been more pleasant. The location is only a few minutes walk from the town center and restaurants and convenient for hiking in the national park that surrounds Civita.
