Lovely find... Family run restaurant, staff are amazing, food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We asked for the house white wine, local wine was provided and it was so nice we found out where they sell it to take some back with us. We will be back for sure!

Nice place, decent food, very kind personnel. I went with their recommendation and I ordered a seafood starter and gnocchi with seabass ragù. I didn’t regret the choices. Price ok.

Great Food, great service and generally a nice place! Definitely a recommendation if you want to try local seafood.

Bruschetta was a little too salty, but really tasty. Pizza was good. The price was excellent. They even charged less when you order pizza without cheese. We (German Tourists) came way too early because google said it opens at 5 p.m. but it opens at 7 p.m. We came at around 6 p.m. But they let us in and served us. The Service was lovely even though we made the mistake of coming too early .

Incredible food and service!! Will be returning often during our stay.

Great food and atmosphere. Large selection and they offer variety plate dinners with multiple courses. Great hidden spot - definitely a place to try out. End off with a caffe and a game of foosball. Great, friendly staff.

Excellent dining for families. Good choice of dishes and very kind staff. Good pizzas and seafood. Prices very reasonable.

An amazing place to visit with beautiful sights

Very beautiful place… natura, architecture, energy… awesome 👍👍👍

Very beautiful and peaceful. Has some tough stairs and low openings. And apparently does not allow drones

Santuario di San Francesco di Paola is a glorious shrine to the revered saint of Calabria located over a gorge in the hills above Paola with magnificent views over the Tyrrhenian Sea.the church itself is quite simple inside but with a stunning gothic facade and a beautiful terrace and ample parking. Adjacent to the old church is a spectacular new chapel where a lot of services are held . They also allow you to view their fabulous hand carved presepi, the nativity scenes with unbelievably carved figures in glorious colours which are displayed to the public at Christmas and Easter.

Great place with several churches dedicated to St. Francesco di Paola. Contemporary church is very unusual.

One of the most serene and peaceful places I have ever visited.

Beautiful and peaceful place to visit , not crowded at all. Magic experience love it!

Beautiful park for who wants to have an immersion in nature. Well maintained and close to the "city" center Villagio Mancuso

Top

Overrated tourist village. To see: National Park entrance has 1km walk around

Lindisimo

Amazing national park . Simply stunning

Lovely natural spot

An awesome place to visit

The ice cream is very tasty, the pizza is not natural, I do not recommend it in the oven, I paid 8 euros for a napkin with paper for a table with paper

Best Gelateria and cake shop in Calabria by far. Figs and nuts and also ricotta with pear were my.favourite flavours of this year. Been using this place for more than 15 years every other year and the quality of the ice cream.is of the highest degree constantly. Pizza and raps are good and the Pistaccio Cornetti (croissants) are to die for if you are lucky to get one in the morning. Coffee very cheap too. A must try if every in this area

For me it was the best coffee I had in Calabria, price is super and coffee is delicious. Amazing sweets as well. Love this place. The only thing that would need improvement is the bathrooms.

It’s my favorite place in this town😍 we got pistacchio cake on my birthday and ate gelato here every day!!

Just loved this place! Have lot of sortiments of icecream. My daughter always is hard to decide,but loves this place! And the service always the best ! 5* place

Amazing place, lovely food open 24/7

Very good service and food

Have delicious restaurant, ice cream. many abandoned shops.

It is a pity. Very poor area to visit. Very old buildings and ambient. Some restaurants and shops that are worth it.

The old town needs maintenance and fewer cars. Other than that it has potential

Insane, pics by @photomarceau

Magical ! Maria Theresa, who runs this lovely B&B is exceptional.

It s worth to take a walk all the way up to the theater and cool down in the park

nothing worth seeing.

This place is really great! Restaurants, stores, and art! What can be better?!

So many thought provoking sculptures, with braile signs and qr codes to find out more information.

Six star for Major of Cosenza City

Interesting outdoor Museum

I love this place

interesting place

No chance of booking this hotel if you don’t speak Italian. All you get in response is ‘no speak English’. That’s very poor.

(Translated by Google) More and more in love with this place! Everything was excellent, from the cleanliness and comfort of the room, to the relaxation and excellence of the spa, the panoramic view, the kindness of the staff, and the goodness of the cuisine. A place of the heart, in this perfect period, waking up surrounded by snow was magic. (Original) Sempre più innamorata di questo posto! Tutto eccellente, dalla pulizia e dal comfort della camera, al relax e l’eccellenza della spa, la vista panoramica, la gentilezza del personale, e la bontà della cucina. Un posto del cuore, in questo periodo perfetto, risvegliarsi circondato di neve è stato magia.

(Translated by Google) RATING 3 BUT... I was here only for the SPA. I'm sorry to say that it has so much potential but maintenance should be done and above all it should be checked whether the services are efficient. There is no dedicated room for changing or rather there is a bathroom which acts as a bath, shower (not working in my case) and changing room with various lockers with electronic locks (NOT WORKING!) There is no privacy and for changing it is a bit like a prestigious number worthy of Arturo Brachetti but oh well, the maintenance in the various rooms such as: the two hydromassages both without working waterfall shower and in one even a (submerged) LED spotlight detached from the wall, Turkish bath room with some shower heads that should be replaced, the two basins in front of the bathrooms not working, then shall I say some relaxing music? No, no total silence. I would recommend putting up at least a table with the rule that if you don't use the sunbeds they should be left free because for the entire stay the sunbeds are empty but with flip flops and a towel spread out on them! A positive note is that in the end you can still relax but for the price paid I don't see why they shouldn't do the necessary maintenance so as to enjoy everything you pay for!!! Another positive note is for the very polite and nice Argentinian boy with whom I had a chat. In summary Rating 3 but if it weren't for these small shortcomings it would deserve a 5 star, too bad. (Original) VOTO 3 MA... Sono stato qui solo per la SPA. Mi dispiace dire che ha tanto potenziale ma andrebbe fatta manutenzione e sopratutto controllare se i servizi siano efficienti. Non esiste una stanza dedicata per cambiarsi o meglio ce il bagno che fa da bagno, doccia (non funzionante nel mio caso) e spogliatoio con vari armanietti con chiusura elettronical(NON FUNZIONANTI!) Non c'è privacy e per cambiarsi e un po come un numero di prestigio degno di Arturo Brachetti ma vabbè, la manutenzione nelle varie stanze come : le due idromassaggio entrambe senza doccia a cascata funzionante e in una addirittura faretto led (sommerso) staccato dalla parete, stanza bagno turco con dei doccini che andrebbero sostituiti, le due vaschette di fronte i bagni non funzionanti poi dico un po di musica rilassante? No niente silenzio totale. Consiglierei di mettere almeno una tabella con la regola che se non si usufruisce dei lettini andrebbero lasciati liberi perché per tutta la permanenza lettini vuoti ma con infradito e telo steso sopra! Una nota positiva è che in fine si ci rilassa lo stesso ma per il prezzo pagato non vedo perché non dovrebbero fare le dovute manutenzioni così da usufruire di tutto quello per cui si paga!!! Un altra nota positiva è per il ragazzo Argentino molto educato e simpatico con cui ho fatto una chiacchierata. Riassumendo Voto 3 ma se non fosse per queste piccole mancanze meriterebbe un 5 stelle peccato.

(Translated by Google) Disappointing experience, below our expectations. Poor quality of food and breakfast not suitable for a 4 star. The spa kit (slippers and cap) should be included in the price given the cost of entry. I recommend changing Chef. Positive note: the friendly, helpful and professional "do-it-all" guy. (Original) Esperienza deludente,al di sotto delle nostre aspettative. Scarsa qualità del cibo e colazione non adatta ad un 4 stelle. Il kit spa (ciabattine e cuffia) dovrebbe essere incluso nel prezzo visto il costo dell' ingresso. Consiglio di cambiare Chef. Nota positiva: il ragazzo "tutto fare" cordiale, disponibile e professionale.

(Translated by Google) Do you need to unplug? To relax away from the daily routine? The National Park Hotel is what you are looking for. A splendid and complete Spa. A hotel with attention to the smallest details, an aperitif served in your room and a starred dinner! Everything perfect... No flaws. I forgot the staff... lovely! (Original) Hai bisogno di staccare la spina? Di rilassarti lontano dalla routine quotidiana? Il National Park Hotel è ciò che stai cercando. Una splendida e completa Spa. Un hotel curato nei minimi particolari, un aperitivo servito in camera ed una cena stellata! Tutto perfetto... Nessuna pecca. Dimenticavo il personale... incantevole!

(Translated by Google) The experience has been disappointing. We expected more from a 4 star hotel. We were two couples, we did the spa and dinner. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and had good views. In the spa we were alone and the facilities were typical of a spa with decoration inspired by a cave, relaxing and beautiful. However, the food is not worth a euro of your money. Terrible quality, few options, in fact we tried the two pastas that were available and they were each worse. The sauce for the noodles was gelatinous and just tasted like avecrem. Then the gnocchi was just crushed tomato with sausage. For the main course we decided on entrecôte with potatoes, it was better not to order the potatoes because even though they looked good they were fried but raw (truly one of the worst I have ever eaten) although I think they were natural, not frozen. The meat was the best thing we ate during our stay, without being very good, it was just fine. Finally, the breakfast, thank goodness, was included in the price of the room because it was not of any quality either; it was sandwiches and things bought in a low-quality supermarket. I want to think that since it wasn't high season (we were the only guests in the hotel) they didn't have the same conditions, even so it doesn't seem like a justification to me. In short, if you want to enjoy the spa and the snow, I would recommend it, but I don't think the hotel deserves 4 stars at all given what I've seen. With this review I hope that the hotel knows how to improve its service at a gastronomic level and provides the quality that its price deserves. I just hope they know how to live up to what they sell. Finally, I appreciate the attention of the waitress Ana, a charming girl who treated us magnificently. (Original) La experiencia ha sido decepcionante. Esperábamos más de un hotel de 4 estrellas. Fuimos dos parejas hicimos el spa y la cena. Las habitaciones estaba bien amplias, cómodas y buenas vistas. En el spa estuvimos solos y las instalaciones las típicas de un spa con una decoración inspiradas en una cueva, relajante y bonito. Sin embargo, la comida no merece ni un euro de vuestro dinero. Calidad pésima, pocas opciones, de echo probamos las dos pastas que habían y eran a cada cual peor. La salsa de los tallarines gelatinosa y solo sabía a avecrem. Después, los ñoquis solo era tomate triturado con salchicha. De segundo decidimos entrecot con patatas, las patatas mejor no pedirlas porque a pesar de que parecían buenas estaban fritas pero crudas (realmente de las peores que he comido) aunque creo que eran naturales, no congeladas. La carne era lo mejor que comimos en nuestra estancia, sin ser buenísima, estaba bien a secas. Finalmente, el desayuno menos mal que estaba incluido en el precio de la habitación porque tampoco tenía ningún tipo de calidad eran sándwiches y cosas compradas en supermercado de poca calidad. Quiero pensar que al no estar de temporada alta (éramos los únicos huéspedes en el hotel) no tenían las mismas condiciones, aún así no me parece una justificación. En resumen si quieres disfrutar del spa y la nieve lo recomendaría, pero para nada considero que merezca 4 estrellas el hotel visto lo visto. Con esta reseña espero que el hotel sepa mejorar su servicio a nivel gastronómico y brinde la calidad que su precio merece. Solo espero que sepan estar a la altura de lo que venden. Finalmente, agradezco la atención de la camarera Ana, una chica encantadora que nos trató magníficamente.

(Translated by Google) We were guests of this property in the first week of August and we fell in love with everything! Very kind staff, especially Mrs. Daniela who welcomed us with an enveloping smile. Very comfortable, clean and well furnished rooms, very comfortable bed. The SPA is exceptional: a large swimming pool with hydromassage, saunas and other paths that really make you relax. Finally, the food is superlative, a compliment to chef Antonio who allowed us to savor delicious dishes with an excellent combination of tradition and innovation. Finally, the breakfast is top: vast choice of homemade cakes and the possibility of a savory breakfast. In short, this structure has entered my list of favorite places! I will definitely be back! Excellent quality/price ratio. (Original) Siamo stati ospiti di questa struttura nella prima settimana di Agosto e ci siamo innamorati di tutto! Personale gentilissimo, specialmente la signora Daniela che ci ha accolti con un sorriso avvolgente. Camere molto comode pulite e ben arredate, letto molto comodo. La SPA è eccezionale: una grande piscina con idromassaggio, saune e altri percorsi che ti fanno davvero rilassare. Infine il cibo è superlativo, un plauso a chef Antonio che ci ha permesso si assaporare piatti deliziosi con un ottimo connubio tra tradizione e innovazione. Infine la colazione è top: vasta scelta di torte fatte in casa e possibilità di colazione salata. Insomma questa struttura è entrata nella mia lista dei posti preferiti! Ci tornerò sicuramente! Rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo.

(Translated by Google) We were at the Lilio astronomical park during the Stargazer festival 2025 in Savelli in the deep province of Crotone. Even without a reservation, they immediately welcomed us with affection. We could only stay one day but we still had the opportunity to be amazed and learn a lot about the stars, some astrologers including the unknown Lilio, the planets and many myths and legends about them. At night, we entered the beautiful forest next door, a Mediterranean forest with the typical scents of the Mediterranean which holds the record for being among the darkest places in Europe. We observed some fireflies and walked together with many citizens in the forest next door trying in the silence to understand how much life there is around. Given the tiredness of the long day (18 hours), we were allowed to sleep there on site for free in a tent or van. Therefore, with this post I wanted to thank and greet everyone on the team from the bottom of my heart. I wish them all the best for a long and prosperous future. So, an invitation to anyone who's never been there to visit this place and the nearby town at least once in their lives. In the town, by the way, near a bar whose name I can't remember, there's a bakery that turns out delicious treats from the morning... (Original) Siamo stati al parco astronomico Lilio nel corso della Stargazer festival 2025 a Savelli nella profonda provincia di Crotone. Pur senza prenotazione ci hanno accolto subito con affetto . Potevamo rimanere solo un giorno ma abbiamo avuto lo stesso l’opportunità di stupirci e imparare un sacco di cose sulle stelle , alcuni astrologi compreso lo sconosciuto Lilio , i pianeti e tanti miti e leggende su di essi . La notte , siamo penetrati nel bellissimo bosco accanto , bosco mediterraneo con i profumi tipici del mediterraneo che ha il primato di luogo tra i più bui d’Europa. Abbiamo osservato alcune lucciole e camminato insiem a tanti cittadini nel bosco accanto cercando nel silenzio di capire quanta vita c’è intorno . Visto la stanchezza della lunga giornata (18 ore) abbiamo avuto il permesso di dormire lì sul posto gratuitamente con tenda o furgone . Volevo quindi con questo post ringraziare di cuore e salutare tutte e tutti del team . Fare i migliori auguri per un lungo e prospero futuro . Un invito quindi a chi non c’è mai stato a recarsi almeno una volta nella vita in questo luogo e nel paese accanto . In paese , tra l’altro , vicino ad un bar di cui non ricordo il nome , c’è un forno che produce delizie fin dal mattino …..

(Translated by Google) Thank you for this incredible experience that thrilled adults and children! From the daytime observation of the Sun to the nighttime observation of star clusters up to the explanation of the celestial vault in the Planetarium we were guided by qualified, passionate and helpful staff!

(Translated by Google) From culinary science, we now move to natural science, or more precisely, to the science of the stars. Not to the mystical and deceptive astrology, which we flee like yeast from a double-zero flour dough; here, as always, we seek quality, whether in the culture of the palate or in that of knowledge. I came here for an evening guided by Umberto and Angela, two modern-day Charons who, instead of leading souls across the Styx, ferry minds from ignorance to knowledge. And they do it with art: he, young and bold, with fire in his eyes and the precision of a celestial clock, distills explanations as clear as spring water. She, a wise siren, alternates ancient myths with scientific truths, and with voice and gestures enchants the audience on a journey between past, present, and what lies beyond. Two full hours vanished like stars at dawn, sustained by a language that speaks to all ages and a telescope capable of transforming the pages of books into vivid visions. And so the Moon, Saturn, and the Pole Star, which we thought already familiar, return today to shine with new wonder in our memories. Well done, truly well done. And as with Charon, the offering to be paid is light, almost symbolic. The only caveat, so as not to lose pilgrims: better signposting of the route, since the digital maps, that evening, seemed to have lost their bearings... perhaps they too were enchanted by the song of the stars. (Original) Da scienza culinaria passiamo oggi a scienza naturale, o più precisamente, alla scienza degli astri. Non alla mistica e ingannevole astrologia, che fuggiamo come il lievito fuggirebbe dall’impasto di farina doppio zero; qui, come sempre, si cerca la qualità, sia essa nella cultura del palato o in quella del sapere. Quí giunsi per una serata guidata da Umberto e Angela, due moderni Caronti che, invece di condurre anime oltre lo Stige, traghettano menti dall’ignoranza alla conoscenza. E lo fanno con arte: lui, giovane e baldanzoso, col fuoco negli occhi e la precisione di un orologio celeste, distilla spiegazioni chiare come acque di fonte. Lei, sirena sapiente, alterna miti antichi a verità scientifiche, e con voce e gesti ammalia il pubblico in un viaggio tra passato, presente e ciò che sta tra-passato. Due ore abbondanti svanite come stelle all’alba, sostenute da un linguaggio che parla a tutte le età e da un telescopio capace di trasformare le pagine dei libri in visioni vivide. E così la Luna, Saturno e la Stella Polare, che credevamo già noti, tornano oggi a brillare di nuova meraviglia nei nostri ricordi. Bravi, davvero bravi. E come per Caronte, l’obolo da versare è leggero, quasi simbolico. Unica nota, per non perder pellegrini: miglior segnalazione della via, ché le mappe digitali, in quella sera, parevano aver perso l’orientamento… forse ammaliate anch’esse dal canto delle stelle.

Nice castle-palace of local nobles. 3 levels, plus tower. Very nice ballroom. 5 euros ticket, 50' min tour.

The Ducal Castello di Corigliano Calabro, is one of ‘the most beautiful and best preserved castles in southern Italy.’ Built as a military fortress in 1073, it was later transformed into a luxurious place of residence. In 1979, it was purchased by the Municipality of Corigliano, which completed the restoration in 2002.

Really nice place to visit. View is amaizing from the castle and tower. Also inside the castle every room is worth seeing! When you plan your visit, don't forget the castle closes in the afternoon for a couple of hours.

Really valuable place to visit. Beautiful and Really well organized.

Castello beautifully maintained, lots of interesting things to see that were well explained, and friendly and helpful staff. Very enjoyable!

Nice restored castle. The view is nice. Don't take google short route.... It takes you through small streets.

Impressive well maintained castle with stunning views

We came specially on Tuesday 25 September, supposed to be open, we climbed to the Grotta, but it was closed, no sign downstairs that the place it's closed, very angry about it

Amazing view. You can see the mountains behind and the beach on the distance.

(Translated by Google) A truly fantastic tour for an introduction to caving. There are two routes: one for families and the other for speleology, which will open in September. Everything was well organized, from the road to the site to the cave tour. The highly knowledgeable guide explained the entire history of the mountain with truly interesting anecdotes about the Lombards and Normans who invaded northern Calabria. A must do again! A truly positive experience! (Original) Un tour davvero fantastico per approcciarsi alla speleologia. Ci sono due percorsi quello per le famiglie e quello speleo che aprirà a settembre. Tutto organizzato benissimo, dalla strada per arrivare al loco fino al percorso nella grotta. La guida davvero preparata spiega tutta la storia della montagna con aneddoti davvero curiosi sui Longobardi e Normanni che invasero la Calabria settentrionale.. Da rifare! Esperienza super positiva!

(Translated by Google) We visited the Grotte di Sant'Angelo during an evening event for €5 per person, which included a glass of wine tasting: a truly evocative experience. After being closed for many years, the site has reopened to the public and now offers a well-organized tourist trail, built on metal walkways and equipped with permanent lighting, making exploration simple and safe. A visit to the caves lasts about an hour. From the small parking lot, the entrance is reached by a walk of about 400 meters and an elevation gain of about fifty meters. It's not a long walk, but it's good to know, especially if you have children or mobility issues. Parking spaces are limited, so it's best to arrive early or inquire about a shuttle service. Visits are normally guided only and reservations are required; however, in my case, the event was unguided, which made the atmosphere even more magical. Inside, the temperature remains constant at around 16°C, with very high humidity: a light sweatshirt is recommended, even in summer. It would also be helpful to bring protective helmets, as it's easy to bump your head in some places. The limestone formations, the spacious rooms, and the interplay of light offer a spectacular view. The beauty of the place more than makes up for the effort of the climb. It's a fascinating place, combining nature, history, and atmosphere. I highly recommend booking in advance, both to secure a spot and to avoid finding it closed. (Original) Abbiamo visitato le Grotte di Sant’Angelo in occasione di un evento serale al costo di 5 euro a persona, comprensivo di un calice di vino in degustazione: un’esperienza davvero suggestiva. Dopo molti anni di chiusura, il sito ha riaperto al pubblico e oggi si presenta con un percorso turistico ben organizzato, realizzato su passerelle metalliche e dotato di illuminazione fissa, che rende l’esplorazione semplice e sicura. La visita alle grotte dura circa un’ora. Dal piccolo parcheggio si raggiunge l’ingresso con una camminata di circa 400 metri e un dislivello di una cinquantina di metri in salita. Non è un tragitto lungo, ma è bene saperlo, soprattutto se si hanno bambini o difficoltà motorie. I posti auto sono limitati, quindi conviene arrivare in anticipo o informarsi sull’eventuale servizio navetta. Normalmente le visite si svolgono esclusivamente con guida e su prenotazione obbligatoria; nel mio caso, invece, l’evento era senza guida, cosa che ha reso l’atmosfera ancora più magica. All’interno la temperatura si mantiene costante intorno ai 16 °C, con umidità molto elevata: una felpa leggera è consigliata anche in estate. Sarebbe inoltre utile fornire caschi protettivi, perché in alcuni punti è facile urtare la testa. Le formazioni calcaree, le ampie sale e i giochi di luce offrono un colpo d’occhio spettacolare. La bellezza del luogo ripaga ampiamente la fatica della salita. Si tratta di un posto affascinante, capace di unire natura, storia e atmosfera. Consiglio vivamente di prenotare in anticipo, sia per assicurarsi il posto, sia per evitare di trovare chiuso.

(Translated by Google) These caves are truly beautiful to visit. They recently reopened after being closed for many years and are easily accessible via a metal walkway. Guided tours are available only, and advance reservations are required. From the small parking lot to the cave entrance, there's a bit of a climb, which becomes quite challenging in the heat. Furthermore, you can't pay with debit or credit cards. The guide was truly friendly and knowledgeable. (Original) Queste grotte sono veramente molto belle da visitare, hanno riaperto da poco dopo molti anni di chiusura e sono facilmente accessibili con un percorso su passerelle metalliche. Si possono fare solo visite guidate ed è necessario prenotare in anticipo. Dal piccolo posteggio per arrivare all'ingresso delle grotte c'è da fare un po' di strada in salita che con il caldo diventa abbastanza impegnativo, inoltre non si può pagare con bancomat o carte. La guida era veramente molto simpatica e preparata.

(Translated by Google) Recently reopened after a long closure, they're definitely worth a visit. They're not huge and can be explored in a short amount of time, but they're rich in history. For those who enjoy slightly more extreme visits, there's a speleological trail, but you need to book and check beforehand, as it's not possible all year round. I recommend bringing cash to pay for your ticket, as digital payments aren't accepted until at least mid-August. However, I recommend calling to book and ask. Enjoy your walk. (Original) Riaperte da poco dopo un lungo periodo di chiusura meritano assolutamente di essere viste. Non sono grandissime si visitano in poco tempo ma sono ricche di storia. Per gli amanti delle visite un po’ più estreme è possibile fare il percorso speleologico occorre però prenotare e verificare perché non è possibile farlo in ogni l’omento dell’anno. Vi consiglio di munirvi anche di liquidi per pagare il biglietto perché non sono possibili almeno fino alla metà di agosto pagamenti digitali vi consiglio Comunque di chiamare per prenotare e chiedere. Buona passeggiata

Amazing hike with gorgeous alpine flowers. Had no idea what to expect but loved the greenery, the wildlife and a gorgeous panoramic view at the top of the serra Dolcedorme. Started from the colle d'impiso, found it easy to park but it was a quiet day in May. Beautiful and so unexpected

Amazing wild nature and panoramic views from the mountains. You can see horses and buffalos in the wild. Most trails are easily accessible and clearly marked. There are plenty of places for camping or just for picnic.

Womderful natural park. Very hot in summer but full of rivers and trees

Gorgeous national park with beautiful hikes, waterfalls and peaceful picnic areas in the forests. Wonderful place on earth.

With the highest peaks of the southern italian peninsula, the Pino Loricato as reminder of the last Ice Age, wild forests and cold mountain waters, this national park is magnificent place.

Nice walk on a hot day, great for calming your nerves. We were on a short trail, not a lot of extraordinary things to see, would expect a better signs on the map, we couldn't find the waterfall. There were a few restaurants nearby, unfortunately all of them were closed while we were there.

The beauty of this place is truely amazing if you like untouched nature. Almost a holy place

A candy factory with hundreds of years of history. I went there in June, but unfortunately many varieties were out of stock.

What a gem holding together a very important historical city. You step right into a rich and thorough history. Amarelli is such a great family, it's worth a visit even if it's miles out of the way.

Interesting tour, however it was only offered in Italian

Very nice visit with an informative English speaking guide with the prospect of buying some delicious liquorice afterwards.

A great place to visit. Super friendly staff. We had a great tour from an English speaking staff member and despite asking her lots of questions about the details of the production etc she was a "gold mine" of information. Even if you do not like licorice the factory and museum are really interesting from a historical and technical perspective. The shop is well stocked and prices are reasonable. One suggestion: could you make signs above the boxes showing what combination is in the different coloured boxes? - probably you would then sell even more!! :=) Thanks very much for an enjoyable experience. Tours last 30+ minutes (depending on questions!) and take place (in February) at 10, 11 and 16.

Visiting it second time with pleasure. If you're a big fan of liquorice and happen to be around this area, do not skip this place. They have a great range of liquorice products for yourself and others in a gift format. You can also have a guided tour into the factory for a small amount of fee.

Nice place. Very interesting. They tell us about the whole history and process of liquorice production. Plus they have a bunch of retro tins you can but!

(Translated by Google) B&B with exquisite hospitality! Very nice rooms of adequate size, cleaned and accommodated every day with Japanese punctuality and dedication.

This was our second time visiting this water park and it would be our last time. The staff are very rude. I was not allowed to go on the slide with my phone and the cover. I asked why some people were allowed to go on the slide with the goggles, the guy started to shout at me that these were the rules and he wouldn't explain the reason. Lack of education and politeness. I wouldn't recommend this place!!! I attached two pictures of the two staff.

Mid park. Wasn’t the best I would say. I just have one big complaint that I really hated. When I slide down any slide, my back gets hurt and red because where the slide parts connect there’s a slight edge! Also do NOT take the white steep slide. It’s one where there’s two next to each other and it has a green roof. That one was PAINFUL!!! It was like sliding on a cheese grater!!!

Very fun place, but your small child has to slide on her own, you can’t even help her get up the stairs. Also I wasn’t allowed to sit near the pool for some reason like in the picture 😀 The foods were awful. They heat cold food up and it tastes like it’s old. Also they allowed smoking near the childrens pool which was disgusting!

Great day with the family. Wasn’t so busy on Monday in June. Was no hot water in the shower. My only complaint 👌

Very nice park! There is a lot of attractions and places to eat. Price for the entrance go from 18 to 23 eur depending in which season you go. Prices for food and drinks inside are honest prices: a sandwich with Calabria sausage+soft drink 40ml was 5,50 eur. Coffee (espresso) 1 euro. It was Friday, end of July and it was good amount of people... Lines for the slides were very short (max 10 minutes) and there was the possibility to do slides also note than once. It is advised to go during the week (mon-fri) or not in August, otherwise there is the risk that the lines for the slides are too long and it is gonna be difficult to enjoy the park. There is both a good area for children and a good area for adults. The staff working in the park is young, very kind and helpful.

Fantastic place. Clean, great rides, good fun

Great Aqua park, staff are all very friendly and safety conscious at all times , get place to visit for all ages Some local supermarkets offer half ticket vouchers, but are limited availability. On site food restaurant will not disappoint you, the food is is good. Enjoy your visit

Sulfur healing spa with healing mud and two swimming pools with natural spring thermal waters. One swimming pool for the kids, one for adults. Separate area with mud for healing purposes and a connected drying and washing area - all with natural spring water and mud. Beautiful natural cave is unfortunately closed due to danger of collapse in certain areas. Sanation works are expected in 2026 when it should be reopened. All in all it is a very small facility, but a nice one to spend a few hours with the family, have a snack and relax.

Had an amaizing day ☺️would defenetly recommend and can't wait to go back!! Grazie

Unfortunately, the place was closed. And it is obvious that a long time ago, because all the buildings were closed with shutters, and the pool was drained. Information that the pool is not open is not indicated on the website, moreover, on Google maps it was indicated that the facility is open until 18:00. We drove 120 km on mountain roads one way just for this establishment. Terrible organization, there is no reliable information about the mode of operation. The place itself is wonderful.

Is not working and not in use. Difficulti to understand- because of the season is closed.

Lovely place for refreshment on our tour. Excelent &healthy water temperature as well. Sadly Mr. Sly left when we arrived 😭

Absolutely beautiful, clean and tide , really beautiful location, we will come back for sure , view and water really nice

Despite the advertised opening hours - this place is definite not open. Maybe it only operates in the cooler months? Who can tell? Perhaps that’s the mystery of this “Grotto of the Nymphs”...

Very special place in one of oldest cave churches of Meteora. Interesting documentation about the history of the Cave.

You need an appointment. So I didn’t actually get to see it. But this bridge above it is pretty cool but not worth the drive down the sketchy road.

Remember to book ahead of time on the internet and arrive 30 minutes before your timed visit. Sounds a hassle but it's well worth the bother. The frescoes are wonderful.

A little mistery accompanies this location in the middle of the beautiful countryside. 10 minute drive from Matera. they show this little cave church from IX century with a light show that helps understand the representations. The language of the show is Italian but they offer audioguides with all main languages. You need to book your visit online and when you arrive to the visit centre you will need to drive to the location for 2 minutes following the shuttle. It is worth a visit

Visited without guide, but still got an little glimpse of all what's on offer. Pay attention to fossils above.

You must be hire 👍 this place is quiet & free from tourist/ This beautiful Benedictines stone Crypt of Orginal Sin is one the most beautiful and iconic rock church in Italy / You find hire wonderful frescoes dating to the VIII century .... painted by anonimous artist - "The Flower Painter " / This place is like a time capsule from Byzantine Empire

A twofold experience: the site is undisputably stunning. The paintings are unique, and well restored. Our guide was kind and friendly, he is not to blame for a slightly underwhelmed feeling after the visit. But, the whole procedure is annoying, starting from the 'no foto' policy, to the fact that you have to wait in a room of overpriced tourist stuff for half an hour before being allowed into the crypt for 15 minutes, of course seated and with a kitschy Audioguide. By the way, selling prints on gypsum slabs as "oil painting on tufo" is borderline fraud.

We visited on the weekend, but unfortunately the place was closed and there was no option to buy tickets. From the look of things, it seems like it may no longer be operating—lockers appeared old and dusty, though it’s possible it’s just temporarily closed (I can’t say for sure), but I see people visited it lately an it was open… I wish it was open when we visited 🥹🥹🥹 That said, you can still walk down the stairs to enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the town. The entrance door is nice and the view adding it’s magic, and the historical architecture is truly beautiful and worth seeing. 🥰 Definitely a nice spot for a quick stop and some great photos! 🤩

Walked down today now queue to entre. Opening times are on the website. Was 3€ per adult and children under 18 free. Most people are down there 12-15 minutes. Stairs down are the same way back out so not for babies or people with mobility issues. No animals allowed also. The lights are beautiful and the entrance fee also included in info sheet on its history.

We decided to visit Palombardo Lungo on a blistering afternoon, more in need of a break from the sun than anything else. Handing over the €3 per adult felt a bit steep for what essentially looked like a stone archway. We went in with low expectations, and to be honest, the experience didn't really justify the price from a historical or cultural perspective. The name itself, "lungo" (long), gives you the most accurate description: it's a long, shaded passageway that you walk through. There's not a whole lot to see or do inside. It's a simple, well-maintained tunnel with rough-hewn stone walls and a cool, damp atmosphere. You can hear your own footsteps echoing in the quiet. However, what it lacks in visual spectacle, it more than makes up for in pure, unadulterated relief from the heat. The moment you step out of the blinding sunlight and into that cool, dark interior, it feels like a total reset for your body. It's the most refreshing few minutes you'll spend all day. So, while I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a must-see attraction on its own merit, if you find yourself walking around under a merciless sun and your energy is starting to fade, Palombardo Lungo becomes a practical, and at that moment, invaluable refuge. The €3 isn't for the historical significance; it's for the brief, beautiful respite from the heat. It's a great example of how sometimes the best part of a visit isn't what's advertised, but the simple comfort it provides from the elements.

This underground building is a good example how Matera residence stored water in old days. It should be able to store lots water, but now there is only little water on the bottom, maybe only for exhibition purpose, not sure if tap water is nowdays availabel in Matera. The building is well maintained, with bridges and steps for visitors to walk around. The lights inside is colorful. It is quite big structure and worthy to spend some time here.

Nice location to visit. Not very big, but cheap and interesting.

It is a great place to visit to understand the way people lived in the old times. The engineering behind it is amazing, worth the €3 to see and understand what it did to the people of Matera years ago

## Palombaro Longo: A Journey to Matera's Underground Secrets Palombaro Longo is more than just a cave; it's a portal to Matera's fascinating past. Stepping down into its depths is like entering another world, a world of ancient ingenuity and unsettling beauty. **A Labyrinth of Stone:** The sheer size and scale of the cave system is breathtaking. Imagine a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers carved from sheer rock. The intricate network of walkways, built by hand centuries ago, weave a story of resilience and ingenuity. The sense of history is palpable, a reminder of how Matera's inhabitants lived and thrived beneath the city centuries ago. **A Breathtaking Dive into History:** Offering fascinating insights into the lives of the Sassi people who lived in these underground dwellings. You'll learn about their unique way of life, their ingenuity in adapting to the rugged terrain, and the challenges they faced. **A Unique Sensory Experience:** The subterranean atmosphere is both cool and hushed, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The lack of natural light is a fascinating contrast to the sun-drenched city above, creating a unique experience that is both unsettling and awe-inspiring. The silence, broken only by the drip of water and the occasional whisper, is a profound and contemplative experience. ** For the Adventurous:** Palombaro Longo is not for the faint of heart. It's a physical journey down into the depths, requiring some effort (😜) and a sense of adventure. But the experience is well worth it. It's a chance to step back in time, to experience a part of Matera that's often hidden from the tourist trail, and to appreciate the city's incredible resilience and history. **A few things to note:** * **Book in advance:** The tour is popular, so booking in advance is essential. * **Limited accessibility:** The tour can be physically demanding, especially for those with mobility issues. * **Embrace the darkness:** Be prepared for a bit of darkness; it's part of the experience! Palombaro Longo is recommended for anyone visiting Matera. It's a journey that will stay with you long after you leave the underground tunnels.

We visited a traditional cave dwelling in the Sassi Caveoso area, and it was definitely worth the stop. Although we had to wait a few minutes before entering, the staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel relaxed and unhurried. The visit offers a fascinating glimpse into how people lived in these caves until the 1950s. It’s quite remarkable—and a little humbling—to see how entire families shared these spaces not only with each other but also with their animals, including chickens and even horses. The interior has been thoughtfully restored and laid out, with everyday objects and furniture that help bring the past to life. While you may have read about this part of Matera’s history, standing inside the cave really gives it a whole new dimension. It’s something else entirely to physically be in the space and imagine what daily life was like. A short but meaningful visit that adds depth to your understanding of Matera’s unique heritage.

Very interesting reconstruction of life and objects in Sassi di Matera. It is amazing that this was not so long ago. It consists of 3 parts, of which only the living room and the natural refrigerator are worth seeing. There is a paid entrance fee of 5 euros for which you get a recorded audio guide through your phone, which is quite crazy, but it is what it is.

A Fascinating Step Back in Time - A Must-See in Matera. Visiting the Casa Grotta nei Sassi was a truly eye-opening experience. It's an amazing place to discover what a traditional peasant home looked like, and it's incredible to think that families lived this way until they were relocated in the 1950s. The recreation is very well done and gives you a powerful feel for their daily life. What makes this a fantastic value is that the same ticket also gives you access to two other nearby sites: an ancient snow cave used for storing ice and a small cave church that was later converted into a dwelling. This is an absolute must-see when you are in the area. It doesn't take long to visit, but it provides incredible context for understanding the unique history of the Sassi. Highly recommended.

Wonderful guide who took the time to answer our questions at Casa Grotto. Much like life in Finland at the same time. Of course, people didn't live in caves in Finland. Interesting history. No queues.

It was fascinating to see how people once lived in Matera, sharing their homes with animals and even preserving ice from winter through the summer

Unique experience inside the cave, very interesting to find the cellar temperature cold even without any closed doors

Very beautiful, the biggest attraction of Matera, Cassa grotta and Madonna de Idris e San Giovani in Monterronne. I highly recommend it.

The house is really hard to find. We had been searching for an hour to find it. And in the burning sun it was quite an experience. But our struggle was worth it. The staff were amazing, they were nice, friendly. And they spoke English very well (from experience during my stay, we struggled because of language barrier in many places so it was a happy relief :) ). The Casa Noha isn’t a big sight because of its look. You watch 4 videos in 3 rooms and they have an authentic kitchen in the 4th room. The videos are very interesting. I found them one of the best informative videos I have ever watched. The narrative is understandable, and helpful to understand how the people of Matera have lived. I think all of us came out satisfied, and with more knowledge than before. I recommend it before visiting the whole town. It gives you another perspective than just walking around in the city of ruins.

Interesting place. Basically it is a short movie about Matera history, so you should not expect to see some exhibitions apart from the old house itself. I would rather dedicate time for some cave house with preserved furniture.

Really good museum with movie in English via headphones. Excellent insight into the whole history of Matera. If you have English National Trust cards with you it’s free!

Very useful information with the projection if you haven't read any information previously online. I highly recommend it, since it shows the real history of the Sassi

A very informative movie exhibition providing an in-depth historical background of Matera... But if you are a member of National Trust you get a free entry as there is a cooperation between the NT and the FAI of Italy. If you buy online you miss this chance....

Casa Noha in Matera is a historic house that offers a unique multimedia experience, telling the story of the city and its rock-dwelling inhabitants. It’s a great starting point for anyone who wants to learn a bit about Matera’s history.

Nice place and the stuff is friendly. We learned a lot about Matera's history. However, the entrance costs 6,5€, not 3€.

the sea of this beach is amazing ,crystal clear.the beach has fine sand,nice sunbeds and umbrellas,a good bar ,nice personal.i would highly recommend it ,and it is not crowded which is just perfect!

Food portion a bit small for the price but overall clean water easy access / entrance. We paid 20 euro for a sunbed and umbrella in a pretty central place. I would Recommend it

The beach is amazing and well maintained, unfortunately the Resturant service is less than avarage and more expensive than a restaurant. We paid 10 euro for 5 meatballs ( normally is part of a startet at any resturant in Taranto and priced aroun d 3-4 euros) and 10 euro for some iceberg salad with some mais..... So lesson learned, next time I LL bring my own food . Answering comments from Bahia del Sol: Unfortunately the dish was not started ... 5 meatballs it's the full portion, one is broken up to show the inside .... . I even asked to the staff If this was a real portion and the lady replied: YES 5 meatballs it's the full portion . Really a pity to see this happening in Apulia.

Nice private beach, warm sea, price for drink, food and ice cream very friendly. Visited during MSC cruise

Clear blue water. All for a reasonable price. Private parking next to the entrance. Very polite and helpful staff.

Awesome sea, awesome sand, great mojitos, tasty food, want to go back already!

Lovely place for the family vacation including restaurant, parking and all the beach services. Beautiul sea❤️ Came after 2 yrs and enjoyed again!

nice beach .. clear water .. top service .. we will come back again ..

Blue Mediterranean sea and blue Italy Puglia sky! Great time in amazing place! I will come back for a long vacation here!

If i have the option to leave 0 star this is what i will gave to them. We came inside for buy something to drink, my little boy and my wife were thirsthy..but we coldnt because the manager told us that i could not pay with card, the have the card machine but he refuse couse the minimum spend its £50, plus will charge him a lot money for service. In all aerea no one accept payment with card plus no cash machine around...i had to drive 15 minuts to get to the close town and buy finally a bottle of water. Very disappointed...

Ok

Ok

Bellisimo

mare stupendooooooooooo

This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Initially I was worried about spending 5 hours on a boat but the time flew so quickly that we didn't even realize it. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and many other species on the surface, this is not always possible though and does not depend on the crew... The members of the association were so helpful and polite, they revealed so many details of their work and were careful to answer each of our questions. I was amazed at how respectful they are in regards to the sea life. Make sure to book your trip in advance and get ready to see unforgettable sequences of marine life!

Wonderful experience in a special ecosystem. The team are very professional and knowledgeable, the approach is scientific and the atmosphere inclusive. It is definitely great value for money too.

What an excellent day on board. Really informative and we spent time viewing striped Dolphins in a natural habitat. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended

An amazing experience. It is magnificent to see the beauty, power and elegance of those wonderful creatures. It is unbelievable how close they came to our observation deck and seeing them in their natural environment and behaviour made us simply speechless. The local guides on board are very skilled biologists and they really know what they are talking about. An appropriate English translation was offered, which makes it a wonderful half-day trip also for non-italian speakers like us. We would join this trip for sure the next time we visit Puglia. A big thanks to the entire staff.

This excursion was definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy. It was well organized and highly informative. Being able to observe these dolfins in their natural habitat was like nothing I had ever experienced. The well being of these animals is of paramount importance to the staff and crew. When we would come upon a family of dolfins they would shut off the catamaran's engine and ask us to speak quietly so as to not agitate the animals. It was an amazing opportunity and one that I would highly recommend.

A day that we will always remember and changed our perspective forever. We spent the day with the association on their boat with our 3 daughters (the youngest is 4), and it was amazing. We could see more dolphins that we could dream of (stripped and buttlenose dolphins), playing and jumping in front of our boat. The association members are passionate and do everything to transmit their love for cetaces' and explain how to protect them. The dolphins were never attracted by food or tracked down. If they seem shy, we just stopped following them but the stripped ones were amazingly curious. Even though everyone else spoke English, Juli was kind enough to translate everything for us, which made the tour as educational as it was impressive. Just remember that you need to bring your lunch (drinks are provided for) and sunscreen. No need for swimming equipment since it is no allowed to swim with the dolphins.

We went on the 20/7 and saw 2 large groups of dolphins (more than 50 in total). It was an amazing and beautiful experience to see them in their natural habitat. The crew is passionate and dedicated to nature preservation and they share their passion with all passengers. A wonderful way to increase awareness on how to help dolphins at individual level. Thank you for you work!

La natura che vi circonda vi donerà serenità e ossigeno. In cambio vi chiederà solo rispetto e gratitudine per il grande dono naturale offerto.

(Translated by Google) A place to have a nice picnic with family or friends. Of course it should be improved by creating some play areas for children and teenagers because the adventure trail that exists is all neglected and abandoned. Better maintenance of the trees would also be needed, removing broken or fallen ones. However, it is the only large green lung we have in the province. (Original) Un posto dove fare un bel picnic in famiglia o con amici. Certo andrebbe migliorato creando qualche area giochi per bambini e ragazzi perché quel percorso avventura che c'è è tutto trascurato ed abbandonato. Servirebbe anche una migliore manutenzione degli alberi, togliendo quelli rotti o caduti. Comunque è l'unico grande polmone verde che abbiamo in provincia.

Angelo is the perfect host. Our 6 day exploration of Puglia was very thorough and enjoyable. Highlights for me were the wonderful restaurants we visited for lunch each day including the wine pairing Angelo suggested. The personal touches of visiting a winery, a cooking class and a demonstration of mozzarella & burrata cheese making made this tour very special.

We thoroughly enjoyed a perfect holiday with Angelo! It was well paced, casual and well structured. Angelo was informative and interesting, and knew the best places to go and the best ways to see the highlights of Puglia. And the food! We enjoyed the delicious lunches every day and many other foodie experiences as well - authentic Puglian bread, cheese, pasties, cooking lessons and wine tasting. We thoroughly recommend the five day tour!

There is simply and supremely one way to explore Puglia and that is with Angelo and 'Experience Puglia'! Our experience was fully 5 stars all the way! Angelo is a native of Puglia and so proudly shares a deep love of his birthplace. The level of generosity and passion in freely sharing his immense and compelling knowledge with us made our journey so vivd and rich. Now let's talk of the extraordinary food and vino we experienced - this was a daily food and vino safari through Puglia and Angelo certainly did not hold back in sharing with us, a small group of just 6 travellers (as opposed to tourists). The journey was fully immersive with the people and culture of the region, most particularly two lunches with local people in their homes (including a cooking class in one home) - a rich and intimate experience meeting and sharing with the people who live in Puglia! Bravo e grazie mille Angelo and 'Experience Puglia'! - Trevor and Alan, Australia

We enjoy small group slow travel tours and Angelo has perfected this concept. Over six days, we were able to tour many of the important landmarks in Puglia and sample much of the local cuisine and some of the best local wines. Angelo is an experienced tour guide, very knowledgeable in the history and customs of the area. Highlights of the trip for us were visiting a working winery and talking with the owner, making and eating orecchiette pasta at a local farmhouse, and having lunch with a couple in their home and learning about life in Puglia. Six days well spent, looking forward to coming back.

Angelo gave us an amazing tour of Puglia. He was extremely knowledgeable and the pace of our tour was perfect. Each day we ended the tour eating at an outstanding restaurant and experienced delectable regional dishes. What I especially appreciated, Angelo arranged for me to see an orthopedic doctor and get physical therapy after a flare up of tendinitis. I’m forever grateful for his caring concern and help which enabled me to enjoy the tour.

Angelo’s tour was a great way to see Puglia. The days were well planned with interesting sites and delicious food. Angelo gave us lots of information and was always willing to answer questions. We saw major sites but loved how much time we spent in less touristy places and Gioia del Colle was a perfect small city to be based. I would highly recommend!

This past October, my wife Sally and I took a trip with Experience Puglia Tours and we are very glad we did! Every morning, our guide Angelo would pick us and our fellow travellers up from our apartment stay in the town of Gioia del Colle. From there, we would explore the different corners of this must-see part of southern Italy. Each day out was extremely well organized and the pace of the tour itself was comfortable. We were not too overwhelmed with excessive sights and information overload but definitely enough to have a broad understanding of Puglia's rich diversity with respect to its history, customs, architecture, art and natural bounty. Angelo, who is passionate and knowledgeable in equal parts, gave us valuable insights into all that we experienced -castles, cathedrals, olive groves, the strategic importance of Puglia and how the region was shaped by the hand of Frederick II. And so many more things besides! As for the meals themselves, food was a daily celebration and plentiful. We ate our lunches, and enjoyed our wine, in typical osterias, masserias/farm estates and wineries, in the process meeting the proprietors who took such pride in what they were offering. Dishes included, but were not limited to, a generous procession of antipasti, orecchiette in all styles, the most wonderful bread, delicious buratta and ricotta, olive oils of quality and glasses of Primitivo and Negromaro from local producers. A few words about staying in a well-appointed apartment in Gioia del Colle. Being rooted in this small town for a week gave us an authentic experience and a chance to interact with locals at bars, shops and the like . It offered us a glimpse into the relationships within a community and the rituals of life that happen there. In short, this is a trip that we will long remember and certainly treasure. Much of this is down to the magic and varied charms of Puglia itself. It is equally due to Angelo, in his role as conscientious guide/excellent communicator with an abiding passion for, and deep knowledge of, his home region. He made all of it come alive for us.

Always empty during daytime.

Very beautiful. I would recommend it instead of the bigger Castellana Grotte, as the cave is richer in stalagmites . I can’t remember the guide’s name, but he explained everything with calm and professionalism! Would recommend everybody to visit

This was an excellent place to visit while in Putignsno! It’s a guided tour of the caves and it’s not a deep cave ( 20 meters to so) so the cave is very close to the above ground! It’s a beautiful cave system and the tour lasts 30 minutes or so and has stunning formations!

We had a fantastic visit! The cave itself is absolutely wonderful — beautiful formations and a really unique atmosphere. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and super nice, making the tour fun and interesting even for our 7-year-old. I loved that we were allowed to take pictures (always a plus!), and the guide even gave us time to stop for photos along the way. The group was small, so it felt very personal and attentive. Highly recommended for families or anyone who enjoys exploring nature and learning something new!

Is a breathtaking experience 20m under ground, there is a wine cellar (you can't drink though), amazing rock formations, rock sales and tree roots, I recommend spending 30mins down there, or pay for a specialist and do an even deeper (40m) trip.

Nice and fun experience. Tour guide was really well informed and polite during his English tour. Worth the 7 euros for 30 minutes. Free parking.

Amazing! This is so worth a visit. Only 20 mins drive from Alberobello. Spiral staircase and some ladders made this tour more interesting. But it’s prohibitive for someone with mobility challenges. Davida, the tour guide was so knowledgeable. The cave is cool at 16 degrees so take a sweater if you’re visiting in summer. €7 entry fee for adults but honestly would have paid more. Puglia’s first public cave!

grotta del trullo is a really special and impressive limestone cave with beautiful stone formations. we had a very informative 30 minute tour in english with a lovely guide. recommend to everyone in the area!
