Overview

The Kalidria Hotel & Thalasso SPA sits within the pinewood of the Stornara Nature Reserve in Apulia, its grounds running down to a long private stretch of sand along the Ionian Sea. The design comes from Emilio Ambasz, an early advocate of green architecture, and his hand shows in the generous, open spaces and the way the building settles into its surroundings. At the centre of it all is the…

    Excellent

    I wanted to give a round of applause to all the entertainment staff at this resort. Young guys but with a great desire to work and to make us laugh and have a wonderful vacation. Thanks to Andrea, Francesco, Alberto the entertainment manager, and Antonio the team leader. Thanks to the whole Serenino team, Matilde, Elena, and all the other girls who are talented and kind and above all very patient. A round of applause to Lollo, the manager of the Serenino, a golden girl who is hard to find. A thank you to the girls at the activity point, always kind and polite, ready to satisfy every need. A round of applause for everyone who makes sure that something mind-blowing comes out on stage in the evening. Shows of a level never seen before in a tourist village. Great, great, great. And now we are just waiting for next summer.

    Wonderful vacation

    We recently returned home from this vacation, and the melancholy is great. We spent one of the best weeks at Bluserena so far. My husband, our three children, and I left. Each one of them had their own group based on their age. Lollo made sure that my youngest son didn't want to be with us anymore because he only wanted to be at the Serenino with him. Now he does nothing but ask me to go back there next year too. For my older children who participated, one in the Serenup and one in the Serenhappy, it was also a spectacular vacation for them; they had the chance to participate in so many activities and make so many friends. Thanks to the activity girls who were always ready to answer any of our questions. And finally, a special thanks to all the entertainment, Andrea, Francesco, Fabio the very talented DJ, and above all a big round of applause for the team leader Antonio and the animation manager Alberto. I would also like to give a round of applause for all the evening programming. A show of a staggering level, 4-5 singers and so many talented dancers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making sure that we could have a wonderful vacation, which it was.

    Excellent 💖⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I stayed at alborea and the experience was magnificent! I visited the sea: with shuttles that passed everywhere and every hour I saw the 2 establishments: ethra: beautiful and convenient because they give you towels with the card, and the sunbeds in the first rows are canopy. valentino: nearby there is the boat that offers you life jackets and any transport on the water (sailing, canoeing, pedal boats...) for the rest also this very simple establishment, nice and busy. Then I went on a tour of the villages: Valencia: a bit crowded swimming pool but large, with space for everyone, ethra square, the reference point of the clubs: serenup and serenhappy, the historic bar , the gym, the theater ... calanè: in my opinion it is the perfect village for families with children. ALBOREA : ideal place for those who want to spend their holiday relaxing, but at the same time you are close to everything knowing the roads well. The pool is gorgeous and not only to splash or relax in the water but also to enjoy on the sun loungers everything you take at the bar next door. The restaurant is fabulous and the food is spectacular for how delicious it is! Seating outside to be booked or in the main room or lounge in addition. To finish the Service and the rooms: at the reception they welcome you explaining everything , then if you are away from the village center they accompany you and the rooms include bikes or apart to rent. While before entering inside you find a very well equipped country then 2 doors and you enter : beds and TV then 2 bathrooms (flaw : only 1 vater ) , really spacious double bed and balcony.I conclude that the only inclusive formula is the best ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
