L'Antica Quercia

“Soggiorno comodo e tranquillo”

Modern and efficient rooms.

We booked two rooms from 14 to 16 August 2026, and I can’t give it less than one star. The place is absolutely not recommended for countless reasons. There’s no transparency about the services offered: some are nonexistent, others are not specified as paid. A few days before arrival, the manager we called to ask about the pool said it cost 10 € per person, but we later learned it had been under renovation for three months and was unusable, a fact we only discovered upon arrival. In one of the rooms the air conditioner was broken and replaced with a simple fan. After repeated requests and many hours of waiting, a technician finally fixed it at 23:30! The windows couldn’t stay open because the screens were completely broken. When we lifted the toilet seat, we found urine stains on the rim, indicating the cleaning was quite superficial. What upset us the most was that we chose this place because it had a pool, but it was unavailable, so the vacation lost its purpose.

“Ottimo oste, struttura con elevate potenzialità che necessita di piccole migliorie”

The location is good along the highway just outside Potenza. The owner was very kind and helpful. The room’s blackout was insufficient: the Venetian blinds blocked 90‑95 % of sunlight or artificial light, but the emergency lamp LED and the AC display (which wouldn’t turn off even when pressing the “Light” button on the remote, likely due to a malfunction as it showed an error code) kept a high brightness that seemed excessive to me. Breakfast was a bit poor and included frozen/packaged items. A few tweaks would really improve all these issues.

“Staff mai visto, la piscina è inagibile”

We came mainly to use the pool, a key factor in choosing this place. Unfortunately, just a few days before arrival we learned the pool was paid for, and later the staff told us it was even under renovation. We asked for compensation or an alternative, but our request was denied. We spent countless hours waiting for responses and assistance via Booking, without getting a concrete solution. In the end we decided to stay, trying to salvage the trip. The rooms were clean and we liked the always‑available breakfast area, which are positives. However, the property is quite isolated and far from anything, so you need a vehicle for travel. The biggest disappointment was the lack of clarity about the pool’s status. If we’d known it wasn’t available, we would never have chosen this place. To use a pool we had to go to an external venue, incurring extra out‑of‑pocket costs. During our stay we also learned that other guests were disappointed: they reported the same problem and complained about the pool’s unavailability.

The place was clean and comfy, staff were friendly and helpful, and they served freshly baked croissants for breakfast. They gave great tips for local outings, like Castelmezzano, which is spectacular and beautiful. Unfortunately, by the end of June the property felt half‑operational; the pool was out of service.
