Tolle Auszeit!
Die Villa ist supergut ausgestattet, (fast) alles funktional. Leider funktinierte die Spülmaschine nicht... Und ein Schlafzimmer ist ohne Klimaanlage. Aber die Betreuung durch Mike klappte hervorragend, er reagierte immer sofort auf Anfrage. Es gibt ausreichend Sitz- und Liegegelegenheiten sowie einen stabilen Tisch. Klasse!!

The Ideal Unwind
We stayed in Mike’s villa in August 2017, the weather was hot and sunny with a cooling evening breeze. The villa has three good sized double bedrooms, two with air con and en-suites and a large family bathroom. The lounge is comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need plus more. The outside space is where this villa really excels. There is a large terrace on the first floor surrounding three sides of the building, you can enjoy the mountain views, gaze down to the sea or enjoy fantastic night skies, thanks to almost none existent light pollution. The ground floor (actually up half a flight of steps) has a deep covered terrace with a very comfortable outdoor settee and chair set and a dining table and six chairs. In front of the villa is a large patio area with a further table and six chairs and built in gas BBQ where we had several simple but tasty BBQ meals. You then step down to the large pool with roman steps and further seats and sun loungers. The one acre plot is mainly left to nature and has many colourful lizards and trees giving shade and parking. Although not fans of Scalea which we thought a bit busy (we were there during the main Italian summer bank holiday and vacation fortnight) we found numerous pizzeria type restaurants in easy reach of the villa all of which were incredibly well priced. Bella vista in Santa Dominica became a favourite, booking is recommended and get there early so you can get a terrace edge table to enjoy the views across the valley. There is a local supermarket for your basics – their ham and mozzarella was very tasty and larger supermarkets in Scalea for bigger shops, we preferred the Connad. We would recommend a stroll around Orso Marso and a coffee in the Maratea marina. Mike is very pleasant and friendly, he was very helpful and quick to answer any questions, he recommended local restaurants and showed us the local supermarkets on arrival.

Spacious and peaceful rural property with lovely views of hills and coast
Mike the owner was helpful and friendly . On arrival we found the villa clean and tidy , with a well equipped kitchen and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We enjoyed eating all our meals on the comfortable terrace. The pool is a good size and Mike visited several times, on arrangement to clean it during our stay. We very much enjoyed our stay at the villa which gave us an opportunity to explore local towns and villages including Sapria, Diamanté and Praia a Mare and experience life in rustic Southern Italy.

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
When initially searching for 'a place in the sun' during 2007 I looked in all the normal places like Spain, Southern France etc and Fiji but then looked at Calabria, Italy. It didn't take long to realise that this is an area of stunning beauty, dramatic coastline and mountains. Calabria is blessed with what is generally known as the best climate in the Mediterranean. The sea temperature can be as high as 27-29°c and crystal clear azure.

Why they chose this property

You have 360° view of mountains and sea. The nearest neighbours are some 400 metres away. The property is on the edge of the Pollino National Par and there are numerous sites on the web where it's beauty can be viewed. The air is clean and fresh and it doesn't take long to spot the odd Eagle or Honey Buzzard, the two largest birds in the area.
The villa is set in approx 1 acre with the Villa having been extensively changed and modernised. It was built approx 19 years ago and did not look as it does now as it was flat roofed and incomplete.

What makes this property unique

Calabria is a lovely area of Italy in which to spend quality time, the scenery, people and the food. The villa is close to everything that is going on but secluded enough to relax totally.
