In all likelihood, it is from them that the fascinating car of tourism will start again, with protagonists this time different types of structures: discover how you can travel responsibly, finding the right balance between relaxation and fun.
IL GLAMPING
Imagine admiring the starry sky from your comfortable bed. Tent yes, but as comfortable as a house in a setting of unrivaled nature. Glamping is a trend, born a few years ago but in constant expansion, that brings together the needs of those who love comfort, but at the same time appreciate nature. Glamping is the combination of two famous words in the world: glamour and camping. So, the literal meaning is glamping. Most of the structures that refer to the glamping concept are eco-friendly tents with an eye on style. If you choose to stay in a glamping, you are sure to travel in total safety, away from the chaos and pollution of the city and in the middle of the green. In recent years, many people had forgotten a fundamental concept: the tranquility on the road. More and more tourist attractions had lost their original charm, erased away by crowds of people eager to reach a place just to update the social profile or to add a tick next to a trite and trite list of things to do. ‘ It’s time to rediscover our territories and the Italian heritage, from small villages to nature.
Why stay in a glamping
Are you looking for something different and want to travel in a responsible and eco-sustainable way?
You are wondering if the hotel where you usually spend your holidays will reopen soon, respecting all the regulations to make you stay safe? Try the glamping experience in one of the many accommodation facilities that offer this form of hospitality so different from traditional. It also perfectly responds to the need to regain that contact with nature lost for months, after Italy has transformed into a whole protected area. The forced quarantine has led millions of people to dream even of a simple walk in the open air.
You are wondering if the hotel where you usually go And what is better than a nice walk in the middle of nature, or to wake up in an idyllic setting, between mountains, hills and sea?
Where to stay in a glamping in Italy
In Liguria, a region of rare beauty enclosed between sea and mountains, you can experience the thrill of a luxury tent just a few kilometers from the beaches or, further north, you have the opportunity to spend your first post-vacationcoronavirus in a glamorous tent overlooking Lake Garda, or in a house above the tree with the spectacular setting of the Friulian Dolomites. There are also those who, after a stay in South Africa, have decided to transplant the tradition of luxory glamping in Mirano, a well-known resort near Venice, giving travelers an eco-friendly holiday 100 percent. Going down the boot there are countless other elegant camping facilities immersed in the olive groves of Abruzzo, the hills of Tuscany and a stone’s throw from the sea of Salento. Or you can decide to admire the stars from transparent curtains in the Marche.
The eco resorts
An alternative to glamping, which always guarantees a close contact with nature, are the eco-resorts, which offer all the services of hotels but in total respect for the environment. There are interesting solutions in many Italian regions. On the border with France you can live a dream by staying in a charming residence dating back to 1500. A loft, an orangerie, a suite, ecofriendly immersed in an incredible botanical garden overlooking the sea of Liguria. Or you can book an eco-resort in the middle of the Salento countryside, only ten minutes from Lecce. During your stay you can practice oriental practices such as yoga and tai-chi, without giving up a large swimming pool. Do you love villages? In Umbria there are some eco-hotels nestled in the historic center of delightful medieval villages or in the middle of remote valleys, once home to hermits. Within different facilities, the same conditions that a hermit experienced during his isolation have even been recreated. Urban pollution, chaos and worries will be a distant memory. In addition to the countryside of Puglia and the villages of Umbria, the sea also plays an important role in choosing to spend an eco-sustainable holiday in Italy. In Sicily, for example, within a village has been set up a luxurious eco-hotel with swimming pool and sea views, among olive groves, almond trees and vineyards. A real daydream.
Another alternative that favors tranquility and contact with nature and the open air is represented by the diffuse hotel: a little house and a little hotel. This type of stay presents all the services that a classic hotel offers its customers, but with an extra value. The opportunity to live a unique experience, inside ancient villages full of history and culture, in front of an unspoilt and fascinating nature.
The Albergo Diffuso is in fact aimed at all those who are interested in staying in a prestigious urban setting, the historic center of a town or village, living in contact with residents, being able to count on all hotel services, as breakfast in the room or restaurant service, but with the comforts of normal housing, including in some cases the possibility of using the kitchen.
All staying in houses and rooms that are a few meters away from the building in which the reception is located. And, not least, in spectacular areas and villages of our country. Many of these inns were born precisely with the intention of bringing back to life abandoned structures to revitalize the social fabric and local characteristics that would otherwise be lost. In the west of Liguria there are examples of spectacular hotels spread over the villages, among ancient towers, caves and noble houses, scattered throughout the picturesque pedestrian center, between climbs, descents, narrow caruggi and medieval walls. Or between the green and olive trees, where time is slow and the streets smell of nature, among stone and sun. To spend your holiday in an authentic Liguria and take you into the relaxed life, typical of a village where everyone knows each other. Your stay will be transformed into the experience of a place with great historical value and magical atmosphere.
Leave behind this bad time and think about your next holidays, surrounded by nature and in total safety.
