Love for the old city and tourism resources and the desire to enhance the beauty born Camilla House Bed & Breakfast. Housed in a building of the second half of the nineteenth century, well restored respecting the architectural and stylistic features with the classic "star vaults" of the tufa blocks and decorated floors, Casa Camilla offers a high standard of comfort. Each room has its own bathroom, satellite TV, independent air conditioning. For all guests, a set of towels and toiletries, hair-dryer, assorted soaps and scented perfumed shampoos. Breakfast, served on the terrace, offers a wide selection. Our guests can enjoy a typical Italian breakfast with croissant and cappuccino with different flavors of jam and Nutella. Well-stocked and varied is the corner of tea and herbal teas. On request we offer an Anglo-Saxon or Mediterranean breakfast. For those who have food intolerances we offer gluten-free and lactose-free. Down in the cavernous rooms Casa Camilla offers a free visit to a small museum of artisan and peasant civilization: 160 square meters of furnished domestic environments as evidence of cave life of the past centuries
professional engineer, lover of his own city, passion for history and collector: everything takes shape in Casa Camilla. Down in the cavernous rooms, Casa Camilla will show its guests the typical "cave houses" of the VI century. D.c. These areas completely dug into the rock, all communicating with each other, were the typical houses of the past where man lived in symbiosis with his animals.
Massafra is a fascinating city: it welcomes guests as they reach the A14 motorway, heading towards the extreme south of the country. With an altitude of 110 meters above sea level, Massafra overlooks the Ionian Sea. From the terrace of Casa Camilla you can see the mountains of Calabria and the entire Gulf of Taranto on the horizon. The history of Massafra is closely related to the presence of ravines, it is where rock civilization is born and develops. The biggest and most famous are the ravine of the Madonna della Scala, which extends for over 4 km, and the ravine San Marco that cuts the city in two. It is precisely in the Ravines that the people began to excavate the grotesque environments to be allocated to the residence. Tradition known until the first decade of the '600, where there were more than 200 housing units. Of great iconographic and architectural interest are the 30 churches excavated in the rock, also known as Byzantine crypts, dating from the sixth to the fifteenth century AD. The main crypts are: Buona Nuova (7th-8th century), San Marco, Candelora, San Leonardo, San Antonio, Santa Marina from which the names of the rooms of Casa Camilla.
