We were in house Marina Grande from 29/06 till 05/07/2008 - definitely to short! We will come again - sometimes!
Ideally place for beach holidays, just across the garden and the small Lungomare (less traffic) and you are on the beach - beautiful white sand, clear water (on the waterline some pebbles) and how wonderful, from Monday to Saturday really less people (you have the feeling of a private beach), only on Sundays "la famiglia Italiana" occupied the beaches.
Thank God! Very few tourists, more locals!!!!
Something about the house:
The owner has found a really pretty way to care their guests and to give them the feeling of beeing welcome.
The house is definitely OK (we found everything as described, maybe there was a little bit more as expected like an ironing board and iron, clothes horse, some books to read - "unfortunately" more in English than in German), big garden with lemon trees, figs, palms, flowers..., wonderful and big shady terrace with a nice view to the sea (we enjoyed it really to go to the beach for swimming, back to the house, having a outdor-shower and than - relaxing on the shady terrace, no sunburn :-), having a cool drink/coffee and looking to the sea).
The whole house was neat and tidy (not to be a given in the South)!!!!!
What we missed a little bit: a fly sreen-door, a pool and a TV
Surrounding:
bakery, 3km (in Davoli, near UPIM) open also on Sunday mornings
Supermarket called UPIM, 3 km (Davoli)
good restaurant/pizerria: Paradise, about 900m (near the dry torrent)
coffee on the beach or ice for the kids: just about 70m from the house on the Lungomare
nice promenade in Soverato (also with amusement for kids) - only on weekends there's a lot going on
Must see:
some nice small villages on the hills with great seaside view in the back country of Davoli and Sostene Marina,
Scilla,
Parco Nazionale dell' Aspromonte,
Tropea ....
Brief summary: We had wonderful holidays in house Marina Grande and we could absolute recommended it!!!
A small notice at the end, absolutely nothing to do with house Marina Grande, but should be mentioned: The South of Italy has generally a bad problem with garbage and waste disposal!! It makes us sad and thoughtful that people there have no interest in protect their wonderful landscape. In many places along the roadsides - heaps of garbage :(
