Location and house were great!

The somewhat difficult access is part of the charm but a good physical condition is recommended. Going by foot being a prerequisite.

Bomarzo is a magical place. Most renown for the Park Of Monsters, although Sacro Bosco is a more subtle name, the town itself is also something to behold, especially the historical centre, perched on top of a small plateau. It functions like an eagles nest and is best reached by foot since parking space is a problem. Only small cars can negate 2 narrow medieval gates. The Griffo B&B ließ at the highest level and to enter it one has to negate an extra flight of external stairs. But it is all worth it. This is a true Oasis. Well furnished with a view on the miniscule piaza at the entrance and wide vistas over the outside landscape. True Italian spirit without the normal tourist trappings. Thoroughly recommended for those with a good physical condition. Our heart still resides in Bomarzo.

Beautiful old house in the hearts of the city, with splendid decorations. It is well equipped, the kitchen contains all utensils. Room and bathroom were clean. We had a room with splendid view. You can reach Sacro Bosco in few minutes ( maps and books about the garden are in the living room). Elena, the owner, is nice and ready to help in case of need.

The only thing that wasn't perfect for me was the mattress was too firm. My husband didn't mind it however. Additionally, guests should be aware there are a number of steps to get up to the property.

It was a charming spot and equipped with all amenities! The owner was very communicative and helped us with restaurant reservations and recommendations. She provided us with a fan as a special request.

It was such a wonderful place. Close to the Autobahn, but a quiet an historical place at the same time. We had only one night there and traveled to the south of Italy the next morning. We will come back again.

Everything was great, but a note to you that you must follow the instructions to the apt. exactly as described by your host. It's a bit of a hike, but well worth it.

The B&B is in a lovely, evocative setting. While we were there, a thunderstorm swept through the region at sunset. From our window we could see the storm cross the valley, the sunset turn a dozen colors, and then fog creep across the hillside. Truly magical. We had the apt. to ourselves, and enjoyed the quiet, the comfortable bed, and the subtle medieval features still visible in the updated spaces. Elena was incredibly helpful as we tried to find a restaurant open on a Wednesday night. We had great communication and she was in regular contact to see if everything was going well. The town of Bomarzo is wonderful--with great restaurants and places for coffee & pastry.

Great location to see the sacro bosco, which was amazing. Beautiful little town with so much interesting history.

it is a little far removed so without a car it is hard to get around especially in the off season when not as much restaurants are open

it was the most comfortable bed of the whole trip. the kitchen was stocked with a beautiful breakfast. the owners went out of their way to help us upon arrival.

It's declared that the apartment has no internet. However, there is a very bad phone reception and we couldn't connect through mobile data.

The place is charismatic and very quiet. It's perfect to relax and unwind. It really feels like sleeping in a medieval castle.

1. No AC (it gets VERY hot in summer, we could not have a good sleep) 2. No wifi (in 2024? come on...) 3. No privacy – it is a SHARED accomodation, and the description on booking.com does not describe this aspect correctly. 4. The property is in Bomarzo’s old city (beautiful), which is a pedestrian only area. You park the car at Parcheggio dei Gelsetti, then walk uphill for about 300 m. To reach the main entrance, you have to climb a steep staircase with 19 steps. Inside the property, there is yet another steep and angled staircase with 17 steps to reach the main bedroom. Maybe it does not seem much, but if you have some luggage, this is pure suffering. And don’t even think about taking small children with cots or strollers... 5. Breakfast is at the bare minimum (a coffee maker and a few packed items left in the lounge). 6. Considering all of the above, this property is overpriced. For us, booking Il Grifo was a mistake. We saw a lot of other accomodations in and around Bomarzo to choose from.

Nice house, beautiful location in the old center of Bomarzo. Well refurbished with taste. Fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom, big and comfy beds.
