In
an enchanting position, on a lovely hillside, only 7 km from
the sea, stands the Fassi farm holiday centre. The building
is located in the small town of Guardavalle, on the Gulf of
Squillace,
in one of the most beautiful and well-known stretches of the
Ionian coast of the Province
of Catanzaro, not far from Santa Caterina dello Ionio
and Soverato.
With lovely en-suite rooms furnished in a simple, practical
style and benefiting from panoramic views, the farm centre
is distinguished by the notable range of services it offers:
a TV room, wood oven and barbecue, club house with rustic
decoration and fireplace, and a vast, well-equipped camping
area with centralised services and shuttle service to the
sea. Guests can also use the beach services and participate
in the animation activities of a camping village at the seaside,
to which the farm centre is connected.

The
restaurant is very attractive with its rustic décor, in perfect
harmony with the atmosphere of the place. It can seat 90 people
and is open to passing tourists as well as to the farm’s
guests. The layout of the building also allows small parties
and banquets among friends to be held. The cuisine is excellent,
offering the possibility of tasting delicious typical dishes,
such as pasta and sliced beans and stuffed aubergines and
peppers, but space is also dedicated to well-known traditional
Calabrian recipes, with its strong, spicy flavours; finally,
the dairy produce and
the fruit from the farm is exquisite and there are also delicious
soups made from genuine and carefully selected ingredients.

A
stay on the farm is made even more pleasant by the perfect
courtesy of the owners and by the optimum quality of service.
For sports enthusiasts and active guests the farm offers plenty
of possibilities: swimming pool, tennis, beaten earth riding
school, paddock, five-a-side football pitch, archery butts,
and clay pigeon shooting; the stable is especially well-equipped,
with 10 thoroughbred horses, some of which are available to
guests for outings, perhaps along the characteristic creeks
that run down to the sea, others are trained for the school.

| In
fact, the farm houses a basic riding school and stables. For
those who enjoy direct contact with nature there is the possibility
of walks and mountain bike trips all around the farm. Finally,
Fassi organises tours to surrounding farms, to promote the country
tradition in the area with excursions, parties and cheering
outdoor grills, usually enlivened by amusing games. |
