Trova la tua famiglia d'origine nell' archivio di Acri

I could give Elena and her B&B Al Tetto Rosso a rating of as many stars as there are in the sky I would! To get to the B&B you drive up winding roads carved into the beautiful Acri mountainside with foliage all around. It was early November so the trees were rich with colors! The drive alone is breathtaking as you travel up to an altitude of about (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) feet where you can literally see the arch and heel of Italy's 'boot.' Not to mention the amount of stars you can see up there is something truly incredible and a must see for any star gazer! The Place itself is a beautiful, homey, and immaculate bed and breakfast on the second floor, above Elena's home. It features 5 bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a kitchen with all new appliances, a dining area where you are served breakfast each morning, and a common area with a big comfortable couch and two matching arm chairs that's off from the kitchen. The common area has glass double doors that lead out to a balcony that wraps around the side of the building where you can sit and take in fresh clean air and overlook the mountains and town below. The common area also has a wooden China cabinet that displayed a ton of brochures on the area of Acri and things to do in the area; which included visiting the Sila Natural Park, hiking/nature walks, rafting, going to the beach, a modern art museum, historical churches with amazing architecture and paintings, cooking classes, and much more! My boyfriend and I were traveling through Italy for my cousin's wedding in Tuscany and during our trip I really wanted to stay in Acri for a couple of nights because my great grandmother immigrated to America from Acri. No one from my immediate family had ever come back to Acri so I was curious to see the land my ancestors were from. I expressed this to Elena and she began researching my great grandmother before we even got to Italy. I was totally surprised and awe struck when I arrived and she told me she was able to find my great grandmothers birth record as well as her sisters, and even found living relatives that were close by and wanting to meet me. We did not have a car, but Elena generously drove us to the library/ museum where the records were kept to show me and even became our own personal tour guide. She put in a lot of time and effort to find the birth records which would have been impossible for me to find by myself. I only knew a little Italian, not really enough for a conversation, but we were able to use (Hidden by Airbnb) translate to communicate the whole time which worked very well. After the museum she showed us the modern art museum and some of the historical churches of Acri; one of which even had the remains of Saint Angelo...
