Albergo La Primula

Staff here are very kind and responsive.

The facilities are dated and beds are not very comfortable.

This is essentially a family owned and operated villa that has welcomed you into their "piece of heaven" in the Potenza countryside. It is run by 2 generations working to accommodate your every need. First class service from a warm, generous and welcoming family. We felt like we were visiting and staying with our Italian relatives. The property is in a large peaceful garden with mature trees and flowers and bird-song. Rooms were clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the suites were spacious for Italy and included fine furniture like you'd see in a villa. The pool was large, clean, refreshing and tiled like a work of art. Food was prepared by son and daughter chefs and of very high quality and delicious. Dinner was so good we chose to stay each night because the meals, service and the setting were exceptional. Prices were good especially given food quality. Some of the best and authentic meals we had in Italy. Wine list was extensive. Breakfast was not your standard continental offering. It was high quality local meats and cheeses, eggs to order and included delicious baked goods from the pastry chef daughter. Our stay could not have been better. It was a welcome change from the small, quirky Airbnbs or generic hotel rooms we used in the cities. La Primula is a gem and not to be missed if you are in the Potenza region.

You'll need a car or taxi to get to the property as it is a 10 minute drive from Potenza and it is not walkable. There are plenty of available taxis and car rentals in town.

Comfortable rooms. The grounds, garden and pool area was beautiful. The meal at the on site restaurant was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was plenty of free parking available.

Internet access was limited to the lobby area and wasn’t available in the room. Service was also intermittent. There was no coffee or tea available in the rooms.

This is a gem of a place! It is family owned and operated, and it has such charm with a beautiful mix of old and new. Our visit was in early Oct so the pool was closed yet we could appreciate the beauty of the property regardless.

It is away from the city so a car or taxi is needed to get anywhere yet the hotel is worth a stay. You won’t be disappointed.

ALL is great at La Primula ! the facilities the ownership the staff the food the policies, all !

The place is very clean.The staff is helping you with everything.Very quiet.Wonderful brakefs

The hotel is great. :) The staff is very friendly and know their business. You really feel that the hotel is run with a lot of experience and passion. The site is beautiful, well cared for and cozy. The rooms are designed in an old style and are very comfortable. The hotel has a great restaurant with daily changing dishes. There is also a large parking lot in front of the hotel. All in all a great place to stay.

The WiFi is a bit slow, but sufficient enough for meetings and business matters.

Very old world family place with unexpectedly wonderful daily dinner menu.Location was quiet and centrally located to various cities and attractions

lovely staff all very friendly and helpful arrived very late but the chef produced a lovely 4 course meal for us which was delicious. traditional hotel breakfast was lovely too ?

Staff were wonderful people. The garden and pool are lovely. The rooms were spacious. Great breakfast.

The property needs updating.

Just out of town with easy access and parking. Very friendly staff.

Not a complaint but Room 130 is located above the kitchen. it was very noisy at times.

The staff was extraodinary, both at the reception as well as in the restaurant. We had the Suite for 4 persons and enjoyed 3 bedrooms (one for each child), and a very nice bathroom. Everything was spotlessly clean. The furniture is old, but in a nice way and everything is in very good shape. The location is very quiet, not very far from the motorway, though. The pool is really large and peaceful - it is not heated, though. The restaurant offers a good choice at absolutely reasonable prices. The waiter, who spoke English and fluent French was extremely friendly. He offered to ask the kitchen for an extra meal for youngest child, who is a bit picky with vegetables & co ;-) . The breakfast was great - lots of choice from fresh fruit to pastry and muesli.

I recommend some more hooks in the bathroom for the used towels. Due to a wedding party we heard some noise late in the evening, but we did sleep well after all.

Great assortment at breakfast.

Can’t think of anything

Very cosy and friendly. Perfect location with a wonderful restaurant next door.
