Elios - ein Willkommensgruß

Elios - a welcome gift

If one is answered by more than 1,000 km of motorway in the afternoon in his hostel hits and the question "Have you eaten anything?" Practically without waiting for an answer quickly conjured with a Mediterranean lunch "family", then surely such a holiday is already stood up again with the right leg. Welcome in the Cilento Like every year it took us again this year in this largely unknown national park south of Salerno, this time we had picked out the central coast: the small town of Ascea with its sprawling beaches and the archaeological site of Elea Velia.

I shall deal in more detail in the next few weeks with this gorgeous stretch of land, makes the beginning but as always the description of our base station. The decision was quickly made: When my son on the internet the swimming pool, discovered that their choice was the "Elios" virtually fallen. When I had drunk at the impromptu lunch served wine and I knew that he was right back again. Purely technical point, we had booked the first floor of one of the three small villas grouped around the pool, we felt almost from day one invited into the family.

The complex was built a half years ago in the style of a typical Cilento "Borgo". Only 5 minutes from the coastal town of Ascea you find yourself in total silence in the nature of the hinterland again. Here simply no sound disturbs the rest and you still have the essential facilities for the purchase of wine, mozzarella and tan beach nearby. The absolutely neat little villas are a perfect retreat for those who want to de indeed spend a holiday at sea, but the beach bustle in the evening rather then escape again like you want. To the grounds is a small trail to the flora of the region, the typical "macchia mediterranea" with wild oregano, myrtle, rosemary and oleander. Typical half-wild pear trees and super-sweet figs can be harvested, not just be at the Elios further processed according to traditional recipes. A fun evening with Cilento cuisine and music then was the highlight of our vacation there.

Enthusiasm for the mini-hooligans find themselves next to the pool and several dogs, donkeys, chickens, and what such a 10-year-old warhorse still so needs to let the parents sleep: table tennis, archery, sports, a kicker. Well, in idyllic spots of the National Park is certainly not poor, but I would like to hereby again love to send all greetings to Milena, Stefania, Sofia, Velantino, Pierluigi and Raimondo and all that I've otherwise forgotten by many people to love our accompanied wiedermal much too short stay with a lot of heart. Not only we were provided with all the information about where you would go absolutely, where the best beaches are, where mozzarella is the best would be where to find mushrooms, spring water and wild oregano, but otherwise we were from the beginning involved in everything The enterprising family Cammararo held Sun

We come back in any case, not only because of its crystal clear beaches and excellent restaurants in Ascea, but mainly because we have found there friends. And because much more is planned: visits to local cheese and wine, the dried figs look over the shoulder, the expansion of "Happy Farm" ... or just doze off into the day. Looks purely times, very wahsceinlich you like it, too.
