Hotel Residence Village Il Girasole

Southern hospitality and passion: this is what they promised us at the Apulia Hotel in Corigliano Calabro and this is what we found. Well done !!! All the receptionists are always kind and patient, the lifeguards are always kind and attentive, all the room operators are always kind and helpful, the barmen headed by Simone are always kind and professional. The animators are good and never intrusive, the head animator cumpà Franco is tireless. The ladies who clean up the rooms are always kind and precise, very kind and a tireless worker, who any company would like to have as an employee, the maintenance man Mr. Nicholas!! The pride of the director is always kind and always available for every need, the legendary Riccardo Fico who has created a close-knit and unique team: from Serie A!!! Very clean sea, excellent cuisine, kindness and professionalism from everyone, without exception, honest prices. What more do you want? If I really have to nitpick: rooms to be reviewed (bathrooms to be renovated and furnishings to be improved), but nothing serious. We will definitely be back! Greetings to all Vincenzo and family in room 11 bis.

We discovered the structure attracted by the location directly on the sea. The property is in a quiet location, easily accessible. A simple but well-kept structure and constantly under the control of maintenance workers ready to collect any reports. The boys and girls in the entertainment team are all fantastic and manage to involve everyone, children and adults. Always with a smile and available, even with the scorching temperatures of this July, they never missed their presence. In an era of hyper-connection, in a week I rarely saw the kids present with a cell phone in their hand, the activities are varied and many. The cleaning ladies are very attentive, their care in cleaning deserves 5 stars. A wide choice of quality dishes is always available at the restaurant. The beach is child-friendly, the sea is clean and the seabed is not very deep on the shore, for parents' peace of mind. The lifeguards (all of them) are very present and as the sea conditions change they immediately report dangers advising on the best behavior to adopt. Lastly I mention the Director, Riccardo, who I believe is the reason for all this success. You can see that he is the motivator of the group, always present and open to discussion with the desire to feel the satisfaction of his customers. To him, as to Franco, Nicola, etc., my heartfelt thanks. We'll be back.

Family vacation. Super animation, they managed to make even bad weather days beautiful. Super head animator, really good, attentive to everything and everyone! Extraordinary director, always present and welcoming to every request. We had a really good time. Varied and good cuisine, a buffet formula that in my opinion is a winner, everyone can eat what they want and in a short time. If someone wants to be served at the table, there is always the meter that satisfies everyone. If I really have to say something that could be improved.........I would recommend tidying up the bathrooms a bit, ours had no place to put the towels and the shower tap was broken, so every now and then it fell to the floor! We will definitely be back!

We returned to Corigliano in Apulia for the third time and this already says enough. Coming back there is a bit like coming home thanks to everything and I mean all the staff. We spent 15 days of true relaxation, without worries, with the entertainers always present but never intrusive. Always plenty of food, starting with hot croissants in the morning complete with tarts, cakes, jams, milk, cappuccino, juices, yoghurt and also for those who prefer a savory breakfast, bread, ham, cheese, eggs. Lunch and dinner to knock you out, with the vastness of the starters plus the inevitable, delicious focaccia, 2 choices of first courses, 2 second courses, salads and side dishes of all kinds, fruit, ice cream, dessert, in short, lots and lots of food! Furthermore, the sea, just a stone's throw away, is their strong point. Swimming pool in the center of the structure always clean where we often had fun with water games. And the animation... the legendary and inimitable Compa Franco (you have to see it as it is impossible to explain how much passion and commitment he puts into everything he does) together with Nicola and their entire team who involved us, entertained us, amazed us and always kept us entertained company. Always ready to have a chat, laugh and joke. Pool party, foam party, karaoke, show time, aperitif game, many beautiful moments only thanks to them. Thanks to the fact that the structure is not distracting we found ourselves with families we had met in previous years and we made some wonderful new friends, basically as I was saying, on the 3rd day it is no longer a village but a huge family. Last but not least the very nice, helpful and kind director Riccardo who, if you meet him, seems like anything but the director! You find it everywhere: at the bar at the restaurant on the beach and it is never limited to good morning, inevitably we chat for a bit first and then run to please someone else. Surely I'm forgetting something but really we can only thank each of them individually for the light-heartedness and tranquility they offer us without ever stopping, they are always ready to make us feel good. Unfortunately the holiday ended 5 days ago, I still haven't readjusted to my home and the nostalgia is really great. It could be a week or two, the time in Apulia in my opinion will never be enough! Thanks for everything and sorry if I forgot anyone.

A week of complete relaxation, with fantastic entertainment, good but not intrusive with the head animator (compà Franco) springy and full of energy, kind and welcoming service, unlimited and discreet food, director (Riccardo) always present and extremely available.... Children had so much fun that they left the facility crying. Small concentrated family structure. To return 🥰🥰🥰 Show less

A very pleasant holiday, thanks to all the staff for their courtesy and helpfulness! As soon as we arrived we felt a family atmosphere. Animation staff simply fantastic.....a head animator Francesco Malvasi, fun, engaging, with great preparation......next year we plan to return!.....and we hope to find the Animation staff unchanged!
