Agriturismo Meleca In Sant'ilario dello ionio

A family dinner in full Calabrian style... An almost magical place, very relaxing and peaceful. The dishes are something indescribable: the super good starters, unbeatable aubergine meatballs, zeppoline, cured meats, all very good; the former exceeded expectations, as did the latter, fresh and well-cooked meat. I will return every day, despite the distance, next year

Una cena di famiglia in pieno stile calabrese... Un posto quasi magico, molto rilassante e tranquillo. Le pietanze sono qualcosa di indescrivibile: gli antipasti super buoni, polpette di melanzane imbattibili, zeppoline, salumi, tutto molto buono; i primi al di sopra delle aspettative, come d'altronde i secondi, carne fresca e ben cotta. Ci ritornei ogni giorno, malgrado la distanza all'anno prossimo

Excellent traditional cuisine and beautiful location at a fair cost

We went for a family lunch and had a great time. We requested a fixed menu, first we were served a non-alcoholic orange-based aperitif, followed by a house appetizer with typical Calabrian products. First two nice tastings where tradition and modernity were compared, but needless to say they were both excellent, the second consisted of two meat rolls and a good fillet spread on a bed of rocket and parmesan. To finish in style with a genuine fruit salad. The restaurant is family-run and well managed, so much so that the staff were loving and very helpful. Farmhouse surrounded by bamboo canes which make the location enchanting. We can't wait to return!!

Restaurant surrounded by greenery, amazing location. Not to mention the good, genuine food. Welcoming and helpful staff. Highly recommended! We hope to return soon

This was the best food I’ve had in Italy. Period. It’s as close to your family’s cooking as you can get. It feels like you’re at your family’s home, there are couches there where you can digest between courses, a huge garden to walk in that includes a little bamboo maze the kids love to play around in. There’s swings for the children. The husband and wife who run this place make a great team. She’s an amazing cook and the husband is the perfect host. My son had a stomach ache there and they did everything they could to help him feel better! She ended up making him camomile tea with honey and 20 minutes later he was feeling better and back to playing around. We’ve been there twice this year and I want to go back again!

Excellent food, wonderful welcome all in a splendid setting.

Real farmhouse. Surrounded by greenery and quiet. Fantastic cuisine. Tiziana and Antonio pamper you all the time.
