[translated by Google Translate] A resort that feels like home. Special thanks to Mr. Fabrizio for always making us feel at home, and thanks to Sara and Roberta for their willingness to resolve complicated requests. The food is always the highlight: EXCELLENT!!! Highly recommended for celiacs like me. To date, it's the only place I've found a dedicated corner with a wide selection of dishes, strictly accessible to avoid cross-contamination for those with gluten intolerances. Congratulations to Vanessa! Thanks again to all the Elea staff for once again making our vacation wonderful... see you soon...
