The Southern Italy / Calabria region
Calabria is a region in Southern Italy. It's considered the Caribbean of Europe thanks to its pristine beaches, stunning landscape, and rustic charms. Hillside towns, ancient Greek temples and Byzantine churches dot the countryside of Italy's best kept secret.
The region's climate is mild in the winter, with hot, dry summers. The region is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea: the Ionian Sea is to the east, the Tyhrrenean to the west and the Strait of Messina to the south. As such, the sea is a big part of the region's culture and cuisine.
The region boasts some incredible scenary due to it's mountainous landscape. Three mountain ranges are present: Pollino, La Sila and Aspromonte. All three mountain ranges are unique with their own flora and fauna.
In general, most of the lower terrain in Calabria has been agricultural for centuries, and exhibits indigenous scrubland as well as introduced plants such as the prickly pear cactus. The lowest slopes are rich in vineyards and citrus fruit orchards. The Diamante citron is one of the citrus fruits. Moving upwards, olives and chestnut trees appear while in the higher regions there are often dense forests of oak, pine, beech and fir trees.
The climate is influenced by the mountainous and hilly relief of the region: cold in the area of Monte Pollino, temperate with a very limited temperature range in the area of Aspromonte, while the Sila and Serre massifs ensure greater humidity on the Tyrrhenian coast and a drier climate on the Ionian coast.

Reviews
 01 Sep 2011 |
Thank you for allowing me and my wife the priviledge of staying in your wonderful apartment in Caulonia. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and modern feel of the apartment complex as well as the apartment itself with its contemporary modern furnishings and modern comforts. In addition, we found the place conveniently located with just a short walk to the lovely beach, bars, restaurants and supermarkets. Only drawback was we gained a few pounds due to over indulgence on pizza, pasta and Moretti beer. Great value holiday away from the poor British summer. Manu and Dhani |

We stayed here for a week in August. The appartment was lovely, well furnished and very well presented. Vista Montagne is 2 minutes walk from the beach and the town centre. Everything about the holiday was brilliant - very sad to come home |
