La Magara
Before arriving at B&B La Magara you breathe in the history and wisdom of a magical place. Enter Civita in small steps. Walk along the narrow streets, observe the stone houses, listen to the silence. You will feel as if you are reliving a past that does not belong to you but that strangely seems familiar. You will feel you have been there, you will feel you have lived there. You're in La Magara, overlooking the whole of the gable. The only Bed and Breakfast in Civita located in the centre of town. You are in a privileged place over the world and memory. High above it all, in every room a loggia, a window...The gaze can dance: stop at the bottom on the devil's bridge, in the distance fill with the sea, turn to the side and be enriched by the lush green plants of the Lacxa. It is magical, it brings with it so many stories, so many secrets, whispers... It caresses the roofs and their masks (The chimney pots: in Civita, the creativity of the masons has no boundaries in this art. The chimney pot at the B&B La Magara is among the oldest. Its name is La Torretta). From above you see eyes peeking out of windows, houses kissing and nature strong and energetic. You are in silence but you are not alone. The passing of time accompanies your journey.
The Baron's Attic
The B&B 'La soffitta del Barone' links its name to a historical building: the former residence of the Baron of Mormanno. In the early 1900s, when it was impossible to reach the urban centres, by the will of Francesco Maria Sarubbi, a pioneer of education in Calabria, it became the seat of a small but renowned boarding school that allowed a host of willing and underprivileged young people to successfully access studies.
The Bed and Breakfast "La soffitta del Barone" located in the attic of an 18th century building in the historic centre wants to offer tourists, mountain lovers, the traditional hospitality of the people of Mormanno, a small town perched on the foothills of the Pollino Apennine chain. The Bed and Breakfast "La soffitta del Barone" is the ideal place to spend your holidays and sleep in the cosy rooms overlooking the splendid mountain chain of the Pollino National Park.
The Star
La Stella is the brainchild of Stella and Giusy Rabia, who have created a location to experience the simple rhythm of the culture and landscape of one of the most beautiful valleys of the Pollino.
The B&B is a short walk from the main square, from which you have access to fascinating alleyways that exude the magical atmosphere of the past.
In some rooms, the spectacular view projects the majestic silhouette of the 'Timpa du Moint' overlooking the Raganello Gorge and the Devil's Bridge.
The rushing wind shakes its vegetation in winter, embracing and enveloping the numerous chimneys and the 'Talking Houses', an excellent symbol of the ancient village.
