Our stay at the Hotel Blumentag was part of a vacation to Italy which included visiting relatives in Calabria then joining a guided
tour of the major cities. We were welcomed by the owners who were warm, lively and generous. They, along with their staff truly made us feel as if we were a part of THEIR family. They recommended restaurants, gave us tours of the area and
answered our many questions. There were 7 of us traveling
together, so there were plenty of questions. The desk manager
spoke English which was a help when our limited Italian
was insufficient.
This lovely hotel is located within walking distance of the train
station, restaurants, shops and the Sea. It is only 4 years old
so it has all the modern conveniences, but with the charm
of a seaside boutique hotel. They serve a continental breakfast
in a cheery breakfast room bordered by a beautiful courtyard
typical of Southern Italy. The property is abudant with tropical
foliage, potted plants all beautifully arranged. (The owners
previously had a florist shop).
The rooms were brightly decorated and immaculately clean.
I am quite fussy about cleanliness but had no issues with
the condition of the rooms. There were also some efficiency
type rooms which would be great for longer stays.
This hotel is owner operated and it is evident that this family
is quite proud of their establishment. They really went the
extra mile to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible.
By the time we left, we all hugged and kissed goodbye with
promises to return again in the future and I certainly would....
