Hello, We have spent with family at the 2012 Carnival Acqua di Frisco. Despite the catastrophic weather, we experienced a great holiday, the weather being more than offset by the hospitality of Maria and Luigi Gionava, scenic beauty, the comfort of our homes, places of tranquility, the home of Calabrese and flavor of foods. Acqua di Frisco is a place to recommend for its simplicity and autheticité. Enjoy your stay in you. Vincent Henin

Review:

I stayed with my family in August at this property near the coast, 30 km from the mountains of Sila. The kitchen is really worth mentioning (I'm the owner and chef of a restaurant in Milan and I can understand something) prepared foods genuinini, many organic, with a rich variety of cheeses (my favorite: smoked mozzarella, ricotta cheese and baked semi-mature), vegetable dishes prepared with local (great hearts of the rare thistle and fried bread stuffed with peppers and potatoes) and homemade pastas. I particularly appreciated the pasta to the "bra" that have been prepared by hand, put before firing in wicker baskets to do to see the guests. meat, tender and consistent with a nice cut, cooked on soapstone. fried foods, very light, with the taste of leavening by sourdough organic and all a decent wine grape varieties. fish, served once a week, cooked in a simple farmhouse. a special mention to the sweet, good cream with chocolate and hazelnuts and pistachio cake with fresh ricotta, homemade brioche (finally not taste frozen and prelievitato bar) served with almond milk in the morning (a custom that I have seen also in Sicily) with bits of almonds that will remain on the palate. The property is well kept, clean, lodging where I was simply furnished but with all the comforts. the sea, not far away, I was not experienced by the high temperatures. I made several excursions on the other hand in the Sila National Park: a place everyone should visit.

Review:

The place is lovely, the beautiful sea, we have forgotten perfumes, beautiful pool, all very clean, the owners are very nice, but I would like to give some advice, I wanted to try different flavors in meals eg. a little 'fish as you're in a place of sea, the breakfast, I hate to say it has changed totally,' cause you do not make the pies instead of those inedible croissants, coffee 'is awful, dry bread ... make sure that the place is a little 'more' farm and not a hotel ...

» [Acqua di Friso] reply: Dear Madam, Thank you for having considered our property "Lovely", "with beautiful pool" and above all we are happy to have had the opportunity to hear the "forgotten flavors" of our beautiful Calabria. We regret not being able to complete this positive assessment with some of our dishes (baked pasta) and the breakfast that did not meet his favor. For breakfast, usually appreciates by Italians and foreigners, for which, indeed, is an inescapable tradition, there seems to be a "breakfast at hotel": fresh milk, fruit juice, butter, jam organic crop production from our integrated pest management , local honey, bread wheat (80%) baked in a wood (maybe this kind of bread could not be appreciated by those who like bread made with wheat, but the preparation of bread wheat is the peculiarity of traditional Calabrese) , yogurt (sometimes to the local buffalo km 0), tea, coffee (of course we Calabresi's coffee farms traditionally prepared with classic mocha, which probably can not even meet the taste of those accustomed to different aromatic mixtures, surely is not the coffee made with espresso coffee machines) and other surprises. We never made brioche or sweet. We prepare differently each time a sweet home-made, including tarts and pastries using the yeast and lard that makes the dough softer, but we feel less natural. Perhaps during the days of His stay was not the turn of the pie. As for the fish, we regret that we propose it as a farm a few times but we try to promote the vocation of our supply chain. If he had indicated his preference for a fish, we would gladly senzaltro satisfied. If you book a vacation, through this portal, "look for a farm" search engine filtering through the different types of treatment offered independently by choosing the various structures, certainly forced by anyone. Those who choose our structure generally wants to know the culture of food through the farm, as well as immerse themselves in nature and in the socio-cultural-rural location.

Review:

With my partner and our 2 children aged 3 and 9 years, we spent a week in a caravan nell'agricampeggio Acqua di Friso, and the experience was definitely positive. The care that the owners, Louis and Mary Jane, have for the structure, shows the great passion that make the management of the activity, the campground is situated in a location that is within easy reach, thanks to the valuable insights of Louis, is some beautiful beach resorts (chimneys, spouts and the natural reserve of Capo Rizzuto), and the gorges and waterfalls that form the river coming down from Crocchio Sila National Park. The highest point of the park (over 1700 m) is reached in about half an hour. The terrace for breakfast and dinner by candlelight, overlooking the pool, offers a striking view of the village below and the coast. The bathrooms, showers and other camping services are always very clean and available, as fully adequate to the size and number of pitches.
