"We had the privilege of staying at VOI Floriana Resort with our two young children, a two-year-old and a four-month-old. Flying from San Diego to Italy for my cousin's wedding, we decided to extend our trip. The wedding was in Padova, but we chose the coastal VOI Floriana Resort in Simeri-Crichi, Calabria. The resort was the perfect choice, beautifully located on a serene beach. The family-friendly atmosphere, with many other families vacationing, was exactly what we needed. The outdoor kids' play area had numerous activities, and the kids' club had amazing staff with all-day activities. The nursery was a great bonus, even cleaning and sanitizing my daughter's bottles. The resort also has a kids' restaurant for children to dine separately, allowing parents to enjoy a date night. The kids' pool was perfect for hot days, and the private beach had plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas. The beach was stunning, with clear water where you could see your feet and fish. Although sandy, the water had pebbles, so water shoes are a good idea. We opted for the all-inclusive package, which was fantastic. The buffet-style restaurant served breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a variety of fresh and delicious options. Breakfast was consistent each morning, while lunch and dinner menus changed daily. Self-serve drink stations, including beer and wine, were very convenient. The staff was welcoming and friendly, enhancing our experience. "
