What is this place and where is it located?
In the south of Italy, at the very tip of the boot, is the province of Calabria, where, a 10-minute walk from the city of Simbario, is the Casale Trainaro hotel in the style of a rustic farm, but with all modern amenities, which is called.
How to get there?
By night bus from Minsk to Warsaw, from Warsaw to Lamezia-Terme airport.
2 hours in the sky and you are there.
At the airport you will be met by a representative of the hotel and will comfortably take you directly to the Hotel Casale Trainaro free of charge. Then he will also return you back to the airport when your vacation is over.
2 times a week from Warsaw to Lamezia Terme and back plane flies (on Wednesdays and Sundays). This is the cheapest way.
A flight from Vilnius will cost a little more, but you will get to Vilnius much faster to Warsaw.
And most importantly, the earlier you buy tickets, the cheaper they will be.
How much does a vacation cost?
• From May 18 to June 30 - 60 euros
• From July 1 to July 28 - 70 euros
• From July 29 to August 25 - 80 euros
• From August 26 to October 13 - 60 euros
(Children under 3 years old - free of charge, 4-10 years old - 50%)
What is included in the price?
• transfer from airport to hotel and back
• buffet breakfast
• dinner (excluding drinks)
• accommodation in comfortable rooms
• daily delivery to the sea and back, as well as the use of a sun lounger and umbrella on the beach
• maintenance, cleaning, use of the entire territory of the hotel and many other small but necessary free services
I want to draw your attention to the fact that this is a VERY LOW price for all services provided. The owners of the hotel are themselves the owners and employees of the hotel. They do not have to pay rent and maintain financially a whole army of employees. The family does half of the work itself, and hires only the necessary number of employees. And since they do a lot themselves, they do it at the highest level.
What to watch?
• The neighboring ancient town of Simbario with a population of just over 1.000 people, where old houses, streets, churches and buildings are quiet and there are no tourists, cafes for locals with low prices, a supermarket. Local people are engaged in agriculture. And quiet deserted streets will help you plunge into past centuries.
• The Botanical Garden of Soverato, opened on the site of a former landfill. Today, over a thousand species of Mediterranean and exotic plants grow in this garden, overlooking the Gulf of Squillace and lying at an altitude of 50 meters above sea level. Here you can also see four anti-aircraft installations from the Second World War, interconnected by underground tunnels.
• The Church of the Madonna del Rosario and the Church of St. Anthony of Padua in Soverato, from the porch of which there is a wonderful view of the Squillace Gulf, the ruins of the ancient city walls with three round towers, and the tower of the 16th century, which was once part of the coastal defense system erected by Charles V for protection from the Turks
• And much more
Also, the hotel administration will offer you, if you wish, to see unforgettable, the best views in the world, riding a boat in the sea, and many more various excursions and entertainment.
Personally, I would rather be on a farm in a hotel and enjoy fresh air, virgin nature and an atmosphere imbued with the spirit of ancestors who lived here several centuries ago.
Which beach to choose?
You can go swimming and sunbathing in Soverato. There the coast is very wide and sandy, occasionally small pebbles come across. An ideal beach for families with children.
There are almost no waves, the water is calm, very clean, sparkling and warm. About 5 meters deep into the sea is safe, but then you have to be vigilant, as it gets quite deep. There is a lot of tourist infrastructure here.
The second beach of Montepaone Lido is less crowded, although there are also shops, cafes, restaurants and other entertainment. In the northern part of the coast, small mountains come right to the water's edge, it's insanely beautiful. Shore and bottom: sand and pebbles.
Both beaches are equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas and are well cleaned, washed by the Ionian Sea.
Where to go with children?
On site, children can swim in the warm water pool or play in the playground.
Not far from the hotel in the city of Simbario is the Mondo Della Preistoria (World of Prehistory). There you will see different stages of dinosaur evolution with huge dinosaur statues, information boards and fictitious excavations of dinosaur skeletons.
Children are delighted with this park, and are happy to take photos next to the dinosaurs. There are also picnic tables, a cafe where you can eat and a souvenir shop.
Soverato has a local aquarium.
The beaches at Montepaone Lido and Soverato also have plenty of activities for children.
What food to try?
• Ravioli (with different fillings, I especially liked the stuffed fish and seafood). It is a myth that ravioli are Russian dumplings, they are completely different.
• Pasta with seafood. Not to be confused with our naval pasta. Italian pasta is cooked with special sauces, and freshly caught seafood in Italy is very different from our frozen ones.
• Sorbetto (Sobetto) - ice dessert from sunny Italy.
There are many different types of Sorbetto, this dessert is prepared with different fruits and ingredients and different consistencies, in glasses with a straw, as ice cream with sweet sauces and cream, and even as frozen popsicles. In hot weather, this thing is indispensable, light, with small pieces of ice, refreshing and healthy, as it contains many vitamins and nutrients.
These are just a few of my favorite treats, try them all! There are no dishes in Italy that you don't like. Everything there is delicious.
How to book?
I prefer live communication with the opportunity to discuss all the details, so I contact the Viber management. This is also convenient because if you write a message in Russian, they will be able to read it in Italian there.
And having received an answer in Italian, you must click on the message and hold until the inscription appears: “translate”, then click on the word “translate” and you get a translation into Russian. Thus, it is very easy and fast to communicate with two people who speak different languages. All contact information is on the hotel website.
What is the best time to fly there?
It is clear that when accommodation prices are lower, then there are fewer people on vacation. Everyone chooses his own, who likes to have a lot of people, everyone hangs out, noisy, crowded. I like it better when there are fewer people and the atmosphere is more relaxed. During such periods, I can also save some money, as accommodation is cheaper. These periods include the beginning and end of the season. During such periods in the north of Italy it may not be as warm as in the middle of the season. But, do not forget, we are in the very south of Italy, and there at any time the sea will be warm as fresh milk.
So feel free to choose any time and you will not regret it.
