What an absolute delight...Gloria, herself, is one of (if not THE) most responsive host I have stayed with (I think she must be clairvoyant given the speed with which she replies to queries)! We arrived and as expected, our car was valet parked (in-out privileges, sooooo easy), and within about a minute we had found the doorway, unlocked it with the secret code, and opened the doors to far more than we expected....bright sunshine beaming in from the beachfront location directly above the great pool. The room was big, airy and fresh, well temperature controlled, and she supplied lots of towels, napkins/cutlery, chocolates, coffee grounds/maker/filter/creamer/sugar and a big fridge with a few drinks from herself or previous patrons inside (whoo-hoo a cold draft and a Coke! Don't expect that to be there, it was a lucky event). We were totallly (totally!!) taken by surprise that the restaurant in the building was a family-run establishment with a long history in Calabria, and it was one of the best.no, the best! Italian we have ever experienced and such lovely family (mostly) staff (and we are foodies, with critical palettes). Even homemade ricotta/mozza (made tableside on Wednesdays for family day). The pool was beautiful, good temperature, and two steps away, the beautiful sandy white beach with chairs to rent or just plop down a towel. Superb!!!! (oh, Winn-Dixie, liquor store, McDonalds..all across the street). Truly fantastic!
