A Luxury Calabrian Adventure

Our luxury Calabrian adventure lasts a week and will allow you to experience rarely visited beaches, genuine southern Italian culture and a distinctive local cuisine unchanged for centuries.

Elegant Accommodation

Each day begins and ends at a luxury 5 star resort in Parghelia in the province of Vibo Valentia, west Calabria, a picturesque coastal town nestling between the Gulf of Lamezia and the Gulf of Gioia

Situated on a hill in the middle of lush trees of eucalyptus, olive and bougainvillea on the coastline of Calabria, the resort is just 5 km from Tropea, one of the most beautiful and ancient coastal towns of the region

All the modern comforts expected are available and they include air-conditioned suites with private old England porcelain bathrooms, private furnished terraces, self-service bar, television, and telephone. Web access is also available for all guests.

The resort also boasts an elegant restaurant. Its colonial terrace is ideal for romantic candlelight dining with marvellous views of the sea.

Off the Tourist Track

Parghelia is virtually untouched by tourism and just the beginning of the trip.

The unique topography of the territory encompasses everything from rugged mountains to picturesque coastal villages.

During your seven day holiday adventure you will be immersed in ancient Calabrian traditions, taken on private excursions to rarely visited areas. The local white sandy beaches, turquoise sea, granite cliffs with mysterious caves and grottos offer an unforgettable setting and from here you will enjoy day trips to explore the coast and inland areas in both directions.

The Real Calabria

Best of all, your itinerary is uniquely designed around authentic Italian cuisine - from the private cooking lessons to sampling regional and typical Calabrian food and wine products in especially selected locales.

You will participate in personal cooking lessons in a rustic outdoor kitchen in the hills, featuring handpicked seasonal ingredients.

Not least exciting trips to Tropea, spectacularly located on its own sandstone cliff.

It is perhaps the most famous visitor stop in all of Calabria and the town offers shopping, the best beach in Italy and breathtaking views.

Take time to visit the imposing cathedrals, majestic mansions and characteristic houses embedded in the town's cliffs.

All Year Round

The weather in Calabria consists of hot summers, mild springs and autumns and dry, warm winters - except in the mountains where temperatures are colder.

This mellow weather allows calm and pleasant boating excursions well into the fall months.

However, we have plenty of substitute excursions during temperamental weather.
