Im September diesen Jahres war ich für eine Woche zusamen mit meinem Enkel in Belmonte Calabro... und wir beide haben uns in diesen kleinen Ort verliebt, in seine Schönheit mit all den kleinen Wegen und Gassen, Treppen und Winkeln, seine Friedlichkeit und seine Ruhe. Wir hatten uns für das Haus "I Chiani" entschieden, ein kleines Haus auf zwei Ebenen mit zwei Balkonen ... ein sehr angenehmes Haus, sauber und gut eingerichtet. Alles, was wir für unseren Aufenthalt benötigten, war vorhanden. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben. Vom Balkon im oberen Stock hatte man einen wunderschönen Blick aufs Meer ... mein absoluter Lieblingsplatz, morgens mit einer Tasse Kaffee, abends mit einem Glas Wein. Nach dieser Woche waren wir uns einig, dass wir wiederkommen würden. Auch weil die Gastgeber Gabriella und Gianfranco so liebenswert, gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit sind. Sie betreiben noch eine kleine Trattoria in Belmonte, in der man sehr gut essen kann. Ich habe dort die kalabresische Küche, die ich vorher nicht kannte, genossen ... das Essen, den Wein, die selbstgemachten Liköre. Auch das Konzept des "Albergo diffuso" ... die Restauration und Renovation der alten, verlassenen Häuser mit baubiologischen Materialien und einheimischen Handwerkern ... hat mich sehr beeindruckt und überzeugt. Belmonte Calabro ist ein Ort, in dem man die Seele baumeln lassen kann ...

Abbiamo passato una bellissima vacanza apprezzando l'amore con cui Gabriella, Gianfranco è tutti gli altri membri dell'associazione hanno saputo far rinascere una grossa parte del paese di Belmonte Calabro. Le case sono state recuperate con intelligenza e gusto e si respira un'aria diversa da altri luoghi prettamente turistici. Qui c'è un pezzo della Calabria bella di oggi con una vista sulle Eolie spettacolare. Il mare è vicino. Se si è sportivi si può raggiungere anche piedi per un bel sentiero ma vi consiglio di venirci in auto perché attorno ci sono molti paesi e luoghi che vale la pena di visitare. Gabriella e Gianfranco vi indirizzeranno a trovare pesce fresco, verdure e specialità calabresi. Qui si può venire per riposare nella pace e nel silenzio del paese senza per questo rinunciare al mare e a lunghe nuotate e camminate. A chi ama il cibo e cucinare consigliamo di gustare i prodotti locali. Si trova pesce fresco di giornata, ottimi formaggi, verdura e frutta di qualità e se amate il pomodoro potrete scoprire il pomodoro di Belmonte. Noi il 19 agosto ce ne siamo portati a casa dieci chili e l'ultimo l'abbiamo mangiato il 20 ottobre. Armida e Antonello

I spent various days at Belmonte Calabro with the kind attention of Eco Vacanze Belmonte and I must say it was an amazing experience. Gabriella and Gianfranco refurnished old houses with a high attention to traditional details aiming to preserve the historical heritage of the medieval town and its traditional architecture paying high attention to details. In fact each house have a different chimney and name. Furthermore, aiming at bringing back life to town Gabriella, Gianfranco and his brother made a major effort to keep history alive, so by walking around you will see messages and charts with historical information. Also, these houses offers to visitors the experience of living like a local in a historical town. You wont feel as a tourist as such. Being there during spring and summer it is an amazing experience where you can get charged by the sun and also enjoy to take figs directly from the tree. This place is to really enjoy time-off, get real rest and enjoy a different kind of vacation. It is perfect for introspection for a long stay and get inspired to finish any pending project and also it is so romantic it can be a perfect location for a honeymoon and even a wedding!

This Medieval Village was so good on everything, staring with staff people and the owner was extremely polite and very courteous with me and my wife. We were in Calabria for 10 days we had stay in about 3 different hotels in the area, this was the best one we stayed and I wish we knew about it before, but we are coming back next year. Every request we had was immediately taking care from the staff which were very helpful and very polite. The Medieval Village was very nice and clean and furniture were very cute!! Me and my wife are so happy and grateful with each one of them, they really know how to take care their guest!!! We strongly recommend it. Thanks Gabriella!
