introduction

You are about to begin an incredible seven-day adventure through the breathtaking landscapes and charming villages of southern Italy. Your 7 day gastronomical tour is set in the beautiful region of Calabria on the southernmost tip of Italy between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas. The unique topography of this area encompasses everything from rugged mountains to picturesque coastal villages. Here, you will experience unparalleled beaches, rustic landscapes, genuine Italian culture and distinctive cuisine during our exclusive 7 Days in Calabria Tour.

Start Relaxing

Your vacation is set at a relaxing resort in Capo Vaticano, a scenic coastal town nestled between the Gulf of Lamenzia and Gulf of Gioia, where mysterious coves and sparkling creeks give way to towering granite cliffs and unspoiled beaches. Anchored there, you will make day trips to famous cities and clandestine locales.

As the private guests of resort owners Roberto and Rosanna Di Marco, you will enjoy impeccable service and undivided attention – from intimate cooking lessons to personal jaunts on their magnificent yacht.

Between trips to other cities, you can take in the dramatic view of the sea from the rugged cliffs of your host town, Capo Vaticano. The white sand beaches, turquoise water, and mysterious caves and grottos add to the serenity of this old-world city.

Though Capo Vaticano is a peaceful city virtually untouched by tourism, it’s only the beginning…

The Journey Begins

Di Marco’s Private 12-passenger luxury yacht is poised to cruise you on two spectacular tours during your 7 day stay at his resort. Via this lavish yacht, you will visit the mythological fishing village of Schilla and La Costa Degli Dei – Coast of the Gods.

From the polished wood accents to the rich, leather furniture, this boat’s interior is well-equipped for a plush excursion at sea. Basking in the sun on the outer deck, you can breathe in the salty sea air and enjoy the sparkling scenery. The yacht ensures that every moment of your journey is as memorable as the destination.

The Journey Continues

Your seven-day holiday includes exciting trips to Tropea, a popular, ancient Calabrian town atop a sandstone cliff. The most famous tourist stop in all of Calabria, you will find shopping, the best beach in Italy, and breathtaking views from dramatic promontories. Take notice of timeless cathedrals, majestic mansions, and houses embedded in the town’s cliffs.

In addition to well-known cities and reclusive villages, we’ll show you certain aspects of Calabria you won’t find on another tour.

We will immerse you in ancient Calabrian tradition when we take you on a private expedition to Nona Nora’s organic farm. And we’ll pamper your palette with each handpicked ingredient used in your personal cooking lessons with Rosanna Di Marco.

Attractive Accommodations

You begin and end each day at the Di Marco’s resort in Capo Vaticano. While there, you will enjoy an air-conditioned suite with a private bath, private terrace, self-service bar, television, and telephone. Internet service is also available for all guests. Take a rejuvenating swim in the shimmering pool or wander through the plush gardens. Open water diving, horseback riding, playing tennis, biking, and windsurfing are also among your many options for entertainment during your free time.

Best of all, your itinerary is uniquely designed around authentic Italian cuisine – from private cooking lessons with Rosanna Di Marco to sampling regional fare in carefully selected local restaurants.
