Tia Maria Country Inn, Racale Overview
Tia Maria Country Inn is located in Racale, Italy. Rated 10.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
Tia Maria Country Inn in Racale, Italy, is a small country stay set in Contrada Argillari, where the pace is slower and the outdoor spaces do the talking. With just 6 air-conditioned rooms, it feels personal rather than busy, and the private patios give you a practical spot to unwind between excursions. Guests who left feedback highlight the calm atmosphere and attentive day-to-day service, and the overall rating of 10/10 from a recent reviewer suggests a consistently welcoming experience.
The seasonal outdoor pool is a key part of the stay, with pool sun loungers and umbrellas that make it easy to spend an afternoon without leaving the property. In warmer months, the garden and rooftop terrace add variety: you can switch from shade to open views when the light changes. If you want to start the day properly, breakfast is available for a surcharge, and free WiFi helps you plan beach and countryside routes.
