THE highlight of our 14 day trip to Italy! Franca and her family were so welcoming and it was an amazing opportunity to learn about the traditions of the area. Franca is one-of-a-kind and made the day truly special. We loved the opportunity to learn how to make bread and enjoyed Franca's stories and zest for life. The visit to the caves at Zungri was very interesting and offered a glimpse of how people in the area lived in the past. I cannot even describe how amazing the lunch was - Anna outdid herself with the cooking. We are still talking about how great the food was - especially the beans and potatoes and peppers! I need to find the recipe! Be prepared for a great day - as well as some singing and dancing ;) A definite must-do on your next trip to Calabria!

It is impossible to give this experience anything less than 5 stars! A true Calabrian experience in the heart of Calabria, Zungri. From the moment you step into Franca's family farm and you're greeted by her warm smile, you know you're in for a beautiful day. We entered as strangers and my parents and I left feeling like family. Franca and her family are the most warm and welcoming people with the energy of a true Calabrian. This is a must for a true Italian experience. The bread making, tour of Zungri and all the food we tried was first class! I cannot recommend this experience enough. So much love to Franca and her beautiful family! We wish you all the very best and cannot thank you enough for an unforgettable day ❤️ you made our trip to Calabria one to remember!

You should not miss a day out with Franca and friends making bread on the beautiful property and getting some Calabrian cheer with wine, dance and delicious foods.

Being here gave me a better understanding of the true Italian life. It’s rustic, humble, welcoming, and authentic. The people here remind me of my family back in Mexico. I recommend this place for anyone that’s interested in learning about how Italians live outside of the touristy areas and about the true home-cooked meals are like. It’s close to Tropea, so the city life is not far.

A fascinating place. The people who live here preserve ancient traditions and the art of baking bread. I recommend everyone to come here.

Giornata INDIMENTICABILE immersa nelle tradizioni antiche della mia terra. Franca ci ha fatto vivere una esperienza autentica. Ci ha raccontato e spiegato tutto, i grani, gli strumenti… e poi abbiamo messo le mani in pasta, mangiato prodotti tipici, vestiti come le comari. Per conoscere la Calabria non si può non conoscere Franca e quello che trasmette con il suo impegno e la sua passione! Porterò nel cuore Franca e tutto quello che ho fatto! Grazie ❤️

L atmosfera è rilassante e coinvolgente, trasportati in un tempo dove i piccoli gesti facevano la differenza gustando cibi della tradizione calabrese imparando proverbi antichi e danzando allegre tarantelle tutto questo è Asfalantea a Zungri. Calabria Meravigliosa.

Ciò che la sigra Franca propone non è’ catalogabile in stilemi turistici classici. L esperienza e’ riflessiva, sensoriale , gustativa, formativa… passerete una giornata con le vostre radici accorgendovi che ciò che si compra da una gioia effimera , mentre ciò che viene dallo spirito appaga L anima e vi riconcilia con voi stessi.

Ancora mi avvolgono i colori, l'affetto, la passione, i sorrisi e l'energia della Sig.ra Franca e di tutto lo staff Asfalantea. Vivere la terra e le tradizioni nel miglior modo possibile ! la Calabria dovrebbe essere piena di attività e persone simili 😍
