Stunning Apartment
About the home
The apartment has been recently been renovated to a high standard and benefits from stunning views across the Gorge to the village of Grisola. The apartment boasts a spacious double bedroom with a four poster bed, a second bedroom with twin beds, a fully functional kitchen with dining table and a stylish bathroom with large shower.
Perched above the Mediterranean Sea on a magnificent Gorge in the Pollino National Park, where you can trek, climb or white water raft, you will find the picturesque village of Maiera. This 'Centro Storico' has a magical feel and strong sense of history.
Artworks and murals painted on the walls create unexpected bursts of colour and the village has a real sleepy almost dreamy feel to it, the ideal place to get away from it all.
The beaches are just a 6 minute drive down the winding road as well as the villages of Cirella and Diamante where you will find typical Italian bars, restaurants and shops. This is a taste of real Italy and an experience not to be missed!

Further details
Please note that because of Maiera's position set high on a gorge the village has a lot of narrow and steep winding steps you will need to climb these steps to get to the apartment from the car parking area. Car hire is strongly recommended. All children are welcome and the apartment is child friendly, however bear in mind that the apartment is situated at the top of a gorge and there are many steps which is why we have ticked not suitable for children under 5.

The Southern Italy / Calabria region


Calabria has a reputation for harmony and welcome, the Calabresi are friendly and easygoing and the pace of life is slower and steadier, without the constant noise and trouble of big cities. It is a place of contrasts, with high mountain villages seemingly built on the sides of mountains in the interior to red roofed villas on the coast, clustered around an ancient castle or church.
Miles and miles of white sandy beaches and rocky coves and the crystal clear and clean waters of the Mediterranean/ Tyrrhenian Sea. A backdrop of stunning mountains, hiding quaint picturesque villages, ancient ruins, luxurious spas and ski lodges among their wooded lower slopes.
A perfect climate all year round in a region yet unspoilt by chain stores and mass tourism.
