WHY CALABRIA?
Calabria: the peninsula of the Italian Peninsula.
Calabria is a land outside of time, known for her rich history, her seas and beaches, the hospitality and warmth of her inhabitants, picturesque medieval villages, and idyllic way of life.
Calabria also boasts incredible gastronomic and artisanship traditions.
With a Mediterranean climate, one of the longest coastline of any region in Italy – 500 miles encompassing the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Sea– a rich Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Norman heritage, Calabria is the southernmost region in Continental Europe. It’s situated at the tip of the Bel Paese, the beautiful country.
if you love Italy and Italian culture, but are tired of the overtourism and globalization that has overtaken our famous cities and popular destinations, are eager to experience a stunning but little-known region with expert guides, love to learn about Southern Italian history, art and craftmanship, and enjoy the dolce vita away from tourists, Calabria is for you -- especially in May and October.
We chose these two months to promote "interseasonality", and be part of a movement that promotes our region outside of the crowded summer months.
If you want to see a different side of Italy, and feel like you are the only outsider in a place that is still intact and undiscovered, we would love to take you through an unforgettable experience.
In Calabria you will find groves of olive trees next to ancient ruins, bergamotto trees overlooking crystalline waters. Ancient hamlets, fortresses and archaeological and natural parks. The heart of Magna Græcia, Greater Greece, with its treasure of the Bronzi of Riace, models of male beauty. Badolato, voted in 2024 the second most beautiful ancient hillside town in all of Italy!
Forest and mountains half-hour away from the beach. Incredible traditional food, from the land and the sea, paired with delightful wines from the Ciró region.
This and so, so much more is Calabria.
