We stayed in the coast town of Castro, Italy. It was breathtaking. Our hotel, the Piccalo Mundo, was right on the hillside. Multi-leveled. Not handicap accessible. Here is a shot of Rick and our friend Gary walking from the front desk down to the pool level.
Another one of my lovely olive oil pots!
A view outside our cabin of the boats just off shore.
Looking along the cliff wall to the south of our hotel. This is the Adriatic you are looking at.
And to the north. There are various towns dotting the landscape but the coast is rough and rocky. There are numerous grottos, caves, at sea level and so there are numerous tour boats near to shore to check them out.
Lovely gate near our cabin.
The salt water pool at the hotel. What a treat to float here. They use salt instead of chlorine to keep the pool clean.
Dinner at the hotel the first night. Fantastic view but we were all praying for a breeze because the temperatures were still close to triple digits!
Our dinner companions, wine guides and neat friends, Gary and Cath.
Our menu for the evening. We walked away so full!
Near our cabin was a lovely chapel constructed from local rock and surrounded by the lovely flowering bushes.
A view of the morning fishing fleet!
Th bacci court! We kept saying we were going to have a tournament but it was always too hot! Behind the court there was a carved staircase that would take you directly down to the ocean many meters below. Rick and Gary went down for a swim the last morning. They said the water was warm and they never touched ground because it was so deep at the diving in spot. There was a ladder attached to the rock wall to climb out.
Cactus! You see! I told you it was hot! But it is so pretty!
A close up of the happy couple just before departure.
What a nice weekend getaway!
