About the home

Welcome to Villa Jenna - our home abroad, which was chosen so we and you can enjoy a relaxing holiday in this unspoilt, undiscovered area of Italy, where the weather, food and people are all warm and unforgettable.

This well appointed villa totals over 180 square metres of floor space, sleeps up to 8 and is located, via a private road, on an exclusive hillside development of four properties on the outskirts of the village of Zambrone in Calabria, only 40 minutes away from the airport of Lamezia, with direct flights from the UK

40 square metres of elevated terrace make outside dining an absolute pleasure and a place to enjoy uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean and spectacular sunsets over the island of Stromboli. With air conditioning throughout, central heating and an open fire all facilities are in place to ensure your stay will be comfortable, whichever season you choose. The walled private garden is landscaped and illuminated. A dedicated BBQ area allows you to take advantage of the plentiful supply of inexpensive local produce, which can be prepared and eaten on the large terrace during one of the long summer evenings.

Every effort has been made to ensure that your stay at the villa will be as comfortable and trouble free as possible, with the provison of quality furniture, beds, bed linen and air conditioning throughout, together with a back up water supply in case of a temporary restriction, (not uncommon in this part of Italy)

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The villa is detached and on two levels, with the upper level providing a large kitchen with dining for up to 8, with wide patio doors leading on to a large balcony overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea where further dining facilites for 8 are provided. Also on this floor are 2 bedrooms, one of which has its own patio door directly on to the large balcony through dedicated patio doors. 2 bathrooms complete the room complement on this floor.

The lower floor has a further bedroom with large patio doors to terrace and sea view, and bathroom. Both are off the large comfortable living area, again with access to terrace and sea views. A utility room with washing machine and sink is located on the lower floor of the villa. A tumble drier can be made available for an extra cost.

Bathrooms have either full showers or bath/shower, vanity units, wc heated towel rails and bidet. To ensure continuity of the water supply, which canh be erratic in high summer, a 2,000 litre reserve tank was added in 2010.

All bedrooms are bright and spacious, two of which have king size beds and the third has two large singles, which, when joined together, make a super king size bed. All bedrooms have full size wardrobes, large 5 drawer dresser units, with mirrors, and bedside units. Hair dryers are provided in each room.

Both air conditioning and gas central heating are throughout, in addition there is an open log fire. However it is likely that any form of heating may only be necessary from December to March.

The villa is equipped with smoke alarms, fire extinguisher and fire blanket for your safety.

Internet access is currently avilable via a laptop computer fitted with cellular dongle and this will be extended to a fixed connection together with Wi-fi once the local telecom company installs the line.

Further details outdoors:
Directly outside the villa there is ample seating areas on both upper and lower terraces, where you can either soak up the sun or rest in the shade away from the midday sun.

The private landscaped gardens are bathed in sunshine all day long and within the gardens there are a variety of Mediterranean trees, shrubs and flowers. A purpose built barbecue area is provided, together with an outdoor shower.

Two sets of golf clubs are on site for the use of guests at the golf course, which is some 35 minutes away.

Conditions

No smoking allowed with the villa, however there are plenty of outdoor areas available.

The Southern Italy / Calabria region

Calabria is the southern most region of Italy, the ankle and toe of the Italian "boot" – a rugged peninsula where grapevines, fig and olive trees grow on the mountainsides, and where there are beaches all along the intricate coastline, which faces east, south and west all at once.

When you come to Calabria, you will be captivated by its scenery - whether you go up to the mountains, or travel along the winding coastal highways, to Calabria's seaside towns and beaches, you will have the opportunity to savour the hearty, tasty, Calabrese cuisine, famously made from the fresh local produce of meats, fish, fruit and vegetables.

The area is renowned for its white sandy beaches, hot summers and temperate winters. There are two National Parks within reach and the villa is in an ideal location as a base to travel within Calabria, to the Aeolean Islands with Sicily around two hours away.

The Tropea / Zambrone area

The local area is mainly served by the town of Zambrone, which has a variety of shops where all of your daily requirements can be met, whether it be fresh produce or cash from the ATM. Along the coast there are many towns and villages all with their own range and variety of shops, serving local delicacies such as the spicy salami known as nduja.

As you would expect there are many, bars, restaurants and gelaterias all offering tremendous value as your euro goes a lot further here than the rest of Italy.

10 minutes south is Tropea, the main town of the area is built on the top of a cliff and from many of the vantage points you can look out to Stromboli. There are several beaches and a port from where you can take a trip around the Aeolean islands. Take time and study the narrow cobbled lined streets, sit out on the pavement of one of the many bars and watch as the locals take their traditional evening walk through the town. You may be able to listen to one of the many outside concerts held in the squares.

Should you wish to combine a beach and sailing holiday then Sunsail start their operation in the port of Tropea from summer 2008.

Two sets of golf clubs have been provided for the use of guests. The nearest course is at the Feudo Montalto Golf Club, which lies some 30 minutes south of Tropea in Limadi. This delightful course is open all year and meanders between olive and orange trees, with full catering facilities, including a restaurant, available. on site.

Inland the interior of Calabria is dominated by the Sila and the Aspromonte National Parks. Here you can see lakes and luscious forests in which there are wolves, golden eagles, eagle owls and the rare Bonelli’s eagle. Take a visit and experience small villages with the local women still dressed in their black traditional clothes. Visit the area around San Giovanni in the winter and you could find full skiing facilities.
