Natural Beauties and Lakes

Lake Garda

On the coast of Lake Garda there are dozens of historic towns and colorful villages, many of which were founded during the Roman Empire. The squares of ancient cities are decorated with majestic Gothic cathedrals. Here you can see hundreds of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Lake Garda is rich in natural reserves and botanical gardens, amusement parks, historical and architectural monuments, theaters, museums and, of course, excellently equipped beach areas.

Tre Cime

Tre Cime Lavaredo, located in Veneto among the impressive Dolomiti, near Lake Misurina and the characteristic town of Auronzo di Cadore. It is a place whose beauty is universally recognized and attracts tourists from afar, especially in summer. In 2009, the mountains became a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their beauty and unique landscapes, but also for their scientific significance.

Scogliera di Cala Rossa

Cala Rossa is the most picturesque beach on the Italian island of Favignana. Previously, there was a quarry in these places. The ruins that remain of it today and the limestone cliffs give the impression that you are in some kind of fantasy movie. The beach does not have a traditional sandy shore with a gradual entry into the water. But the sand on the seabed and turquoise water will satisfy even the most demanding tourists. The absence of waves allows you to enjoy not only swimming, but also, for example, diving to the seabed with a mask and fins.

Terme di Saturnia

Cascate del Mulino is a free spa area open to the public 24 hours a day every day of the year, consisting of a series of waterfalls that have formed numerous limestone pools over the centuries. The temperature in the thermal waters is always 37.5 degrees.

Tourist Attractions

Pompei

The excavations of Pompeii represent the most majestic example of the ancient Roman city and its everyday culture - an inexhaustible source for research by archaeologists, historians of the ancient world and classical philologists. In 1997, Pompeii was added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

Cinque Terre

Parco nationale delle Cinque Terre is located on the western coast of Italy, in the Liguria region, in the province of Spezia. The name of the park means "Five Lands"; it received such a name because it consists of five small towns-communes, picturesquely located near the sea, among the mountain slopes. Since 1997, the Cinque Terre has been given the status of UNESCO cultural heritage.

Tivoli

The picturesque old town of Tivoli, located 24 kilometers from Rome in the province of Lazio, is incredibly attractive for those who are interested in history and architecture. Architectural sights of Tivoli in Italy: fabulously beautiful villas with luxurious gardens and waterfalls. Tourists who come to Rome often prefer the more "promoted" sights of the Italian capital to visiting Tivoli. And only true connoisseurs know that this city is definitely worth a visit.

Grand Canal

Canal Grande "permeates" all of Venice, curving in an S-shape, originates from the St. Mark's pool and ends at the Santa Lucia railway station. This old sea route stretches for almost 4 kilometers in length, and its width varies from 30 to 90 meters. On average, the depth of the channel is about 5 meters. Along the shores of the azure water is a huge number of buildings - most of which were erected in the period from the 1200s to the 1700s of the last millennium.

Cities

Rome

Is there anyone who doesn't know this city? Rome is the heart of modern Italy and in ancient times it was the heart of the entire Roman Empire as well. It’s a must-visit city of great historical value!

Venice

Venice is the most romantic corner of Europe, located on the northern coast of the Adriatic Sea in Italy. Majestic architecture, a unique atmosphere of freedom and lightness, lively labyrinths of streets - all this creates a unique ensemble that must be seen, heard, felt. Most of the "city on the water" is located on the islands in the Venetian lagoon, which are interconnected by a huge number of bridges. The entire historical center of Venice is included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list, and this is not surprising, because examples of architecture from the 14th-16th centuries have been preserved here.

Bari

Bari is the city where the relics of Nicholas the Wonderworker are buried. They attract pilgrims from all over the world. In Bari you can see medieval castles, walls and an old fort. The charm of the city is given by narrow winding streets and sandy beaches of the Adriatic Sea.

Cortina d'Ampezzo

The town of Cortina D'Ampezzo is often called “The Queen of the Dolomites”. Some of the most beautiful peaks of the Dolomites like Tofane, Cristallo and Pomagagnon surrounding the town make it one of the top-rated ski resorts in the world.

Attractions For Kids

Gardaland

Gardaland Resort is the biggest amusement park on Lake Garda. On a territory of more than 500 thousand square meters there are more than 40 attractions for adults and children. The park is divided into 3 zones, which will help you find attractions and entertainment for all ages. Here is also Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium, an underwater world park.

Adventure Park Il Gigante

The largest rope park in Tuscany, located near Florence. The park offers 6 routes, on the treetops with rope paths up to 100 meters long, Tibetan bridges and hanging passages up to 20 meters high. As well as 6 routes for children from 3 years old and their families. There is also a bar in the park where you can eat. The park is open from April to October.

Vatican

The Vatican museum complex includes about two dozen museums and galleries, and in addition, the magnificent Sistine Chapel, decorated with frescoes on biblical themes by Michelangelo. Their expositions, collected by the Roman popes over the centuries, exhibit works of art belonging to a very large time period - from ancient Egyptian to modern times. In addition to paintings, sculptures and frescoes, the buildings of the Vatican are in themselves an invaluable architectural monument - most of them were built in the 14th century.

Uffizi Gallery

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most famous museums in the world. The museum houses a lot of unique works of art, most of which date back to the Renaissance period. The gallery houses the paintings of outstanding Italian artists, among them such great names as Botticelli, Giotto, Cimabue, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.

La Galleria dell'Accademia

The Accademia Gallery, like the Uffizi Gallery, is the most visited museum in Italy. The most famous works of art that are stored here are the sculptures of the genius Michelangelo, including his masterpiece statue of David.

National Museum of Pasta

Pasta is a favorite dish in Italy, which has become a symbol of the country. In 1889, the Museo Nazionale delle Paste Alimentari was created in Rome. The museum reveals to visitors the fascinating history of the creation of pasta, the evolution of the technology of their production and preparation. Eleven halls present a variety of items related to pasta in one way or another: from ancient devices (rolling pin, sieve) to modern equipment used for production, molding and drying.

The hotel is located in a picturesque place, just in the middle of the National park. There's direct access to the sea from the hotel across the beautiful and nice-smelling pine forest.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Both service and location are great. If you love peace and quiet, sand beaches and crystal clear blue turquoise water it will probably suit you well. Diving and biking will be the highlights of your vacation. Tip: The place is too remote with no shops within walking distance so you will need to rent a car.
