Venue and Tranportation Information
Cetraro and Grand Hotel San Michele
Cetraro Marina, a pleasant seaside resort is about two km from the Cetraro Commune of which it is a part. The ancient Citrarium (name derived from the abundant citrus cultivation in the area) was a center of the Bruzi rising between Paola and Capo Bonifati. Its coast location offers many interesting boat excursions.
The picturesque Grand Hotel San Michele is situated on the Tyrrhenian Coast, 120 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, with a fantastic view of Calabria’s southern coast. It offers visitors one of the prettiest locations Southern Italy has to offer and is considered by many to be one of Calabria’s finest hotels. Its beach (120 meters below the cliffs) is accessible only by a private special elevator. The hotel has a swimming pool, driving range, tennis court, minigolf, piano bar and billiard room.
The hotel is surrounded by an organic farm that provides the hotel with fresh organic food. Vegetables, fruits, olive oil, wine, milk, cheese, daily laid eggs, lamb, veal and pork meat, homemade jams and preserves are all produced on San Michele Hotel’s premises.
The acreage upon which the hotel is situated is also a bird sanctuary, where bird lovers from around Italy come to observe migratory patterns.
The maximum number of people that can be hosted in the hotel is about 80; however, there are other hotels in the area and the hotel can arrange pickups.
