Reggio Calabria-B&BPellicano Guest House

My hotel was a 20-minute walk from the train station. Half of it was up hill...it's not that far, right? I wasn't sure what to expect-- would it be like the last place, just rooms and no staff? Nope. This place is a gem! (And there was an elevator!) It is bright and spacious. The room is wonderful with a tiny balcony. The B&B is on Via Pellicano, which means "Pelican," and all the rooms are named after birds. I am in Pettirosso, which is a European robin.

The man that greeted me, and I'm sure he's the owner, is very nice. I told him that I was here to practice my Italian. He asked me if I wanted him to speak in Italian, and I said, "yes, if you can spend slowly. " We talked for 2 hours. He did most of the talking and he did NOT speak slowly! I understood about 50% of what he said.

I got.some recommendations for restaurants and other things to see and do. Finally I went to the room and unpacked a bit and put my feet up! Time for a short nap.Read more
