Rent a holiday home in Calabria and discover one of Italy’s most unspoiled regions. This region, located in the ‘toe’ of southern Italy’s boot, is rich in pristine mountain forests, rugged cliffs, and sandy coastlines. Naturalists can hike through heavily wooded forests and snow-swept plains in beautiful National Parks such as La Sila, Pollino and Aspromonte. Beach lovers can rent a holiday home next to the seaside and spend hours gazing at the jade green waters of the Tyrrhenian or Ionian Seas from a soft, sandy beach. All along the coast run jagged cliffs, many of which are studded with traditional homes, churches and ancient fortresses. Byzantine tombs and temples are scattered across the rocky hills, and are well preserved due to the isolation of the sites. And the best part is that you can take in all of these sites from the comfort of a slow moving train that travels up and down the entire coast of Calabria. Watch the scenic countryside pass by en route to your holiday rental in one of Calabria’s quaint coastal or mountainside villages.
