3E Catalogue: Explore, Experience & Enjoy
Make your experience unforgettable
We are an Eco-Experiential Glamping, the Experiential component is part of the DNA in the project.
Here you will find the catalogue of experiences that “I Giardini del Caramante” offers its guests, summarised by 3 “E's:
- Explore: here you will find all the experiences oriented to the exploration of the territory. You will usually be led by the hand by a guide on excursions averaging half a day. We have selected the closest ones (less than an hour's drive) with both historical/archaeological and naturalistic character.
- Experience: here you will find all the experiences in the strict sense of the term in which you will participate in a course or workshop in the GLamping or in Soverato, accompanied by an expert on the subject.
- Enjoyhere you will find all pleasure-oriented experiences, fun and relaxation. In English, the word Enjoy sums it up best. We are talking about: enjoyment for the palate (restaurants, patisseries, wine bars, etc.), relaxation (beach and sea, whirlpools, massages, etc.), shopping in Soverato, entertainment (discos, aperitifs, festivals), shows (theatre, festivals, etc.).
Check the sections under those active or go to the programming sections to get a concrete idea of the many possibilities offered and in case request us to enable that experience for you.
