La Casa nel Borgo
4 stars www.lacasanelborgo.itThe hotel La Casa nel Borgo is situated in Gerace, a medieval village located within the National Park of Aspromonte, perched on hillside from where to enjoy stunning views of the Ionian sea and the Calabrian coast line.
The charming atmosphere of the oldest district of Gerace pervades every corner of the hotel. The establishment still reflects the lifestyle and traditions of the local people and the family that has lived here for generations.
In the lobby and corridors, guests can observe a fascinating collection of paintings, prints, and photographs which record the town's history and significant moments in the life of the family.
The bedrooms of La Casa nel Borgo, simply furnished and equipped with every comfort, offer the ideal environment in which to relax. All rooms have windows looking out over the roof tops and meticulously kept, flower decked terraces of the ancient village.
La Casa del Borgo's bar is situated in the hotel's comfortable lounge. In the colder months of the year, the atmosphere is warmed by a large open fireplace whilst, in the summer, guests enjoy the sun on the 'mignano'; a typical feature to be found in much Southern Italian vernacular architecture. This ornate balcony-like structure, intricately inlaid and rich in arches and other decorative elements, once provided the ideal place from where the ladies of Gerace could discreetly participate in public life without being observed.
La Casa del Borgo's sister hotel, the Casa di Gianna hotel and restaurant, is situated close by, at the start of the village.
