B&B Dhafna

BnB Dhafna is a cozy, welcoming lodging in the quaint town of Civita, Calabria, Italy. The host, Giacomo, drove us to the house from the central plaza so we wouldn't get lost. The front door is secure, and we were given a key. Our room was large and nicely furnished, the bathroom was recently remodeled, and we had a window that opened on to a side street. There was a queen sized bed, a daybed and a sofa sleeper. Rosanna made scrambled eggs for breakfast even though the locals don't eat like Americans do. She provided bread and butter, jam, fruit, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice, cookies and cake as well as eggs, which was more than we could eat. We had fun walking from BnB Dhafna around the town, into the countryside and through narrow lanes and alleys, always feeling relief when we found our way back to the house.

Beautifully maintained and great hospitality from the host. This small town, Civita, has many small adjoining homes surrounded by a maze of narrow stone streets. Our B&B sits high up on the side of a mountain and harkens back to a time when there many small villages in Sicily.

Wonderful place to stay. Unique, quiet and very clean. Owners and community very friendly and welcoming. Short walk to the town center. Near Mount Pollino and other tourist attractions. Hot breakfast, homemade pastry was served.

My husband and I spent two nights at this comfortable charming B & B as part of an OAT tour. Our hosts were lovely, the breakfasts were excellent, and the sightseeing in Calabria was amazing…and off the beaten path. We highly recommend Dfana Civita.
