Those interested in a vacation in Italy but also in getting a little bit more off the beaten path to somewhere unspoiled, untouched, and impossibly beautiful will find that a villa in Calabria is just the thing. Calabria is one of the best-kept secrets in Italy, a magic gem that boasts a lack of touristy nonsense and very mild winters and hot summers, making it a great holiday destination for most of the year. One of the most southern parts of Italy, it makes up the toe of the boot that is Italy and extends out into the Mediterranean, which surrounds on three sides. As a result, it is a region that has lots of beaches to choose from and, due to the smaller amount of tourist crowds, these beaches tend to be pristine and incredibly gorgeous. This makes Calabria a perfect place for sun holidays and seaside getaways.
Spiaggia della Rotonda, or Rotonda Beach, is one of the most beloved and popular in the area. Located in Tropea, a city that is well-known for its amazing beaches, this is one of the best in the city and fronts the old town, just 500m from the historical centre and not far from the port.
Long and narrow, the beach is surrounded by suggestive scenery made up of craggy cliffs and dramatic rock formations. The Spiaggia della Rotonda takes in excellent views over the great rock and Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola, the rock of San Leonardo, and another pretty little beach, the Spiaggia Mare Piccolo, to the west. The water is impossibly blue, the sandy shore perfectly white, flowering cacti with colourful blooms border the beach, and the endless horizon is usually an unblemished blue that is completely cloudless or pastel and pretty when the sun rises and sets. Deckchairs, umbrellas, and sunbeds can be rented and the old town is so close that any snacks or drinks that you could want and plenty of shops, restaurants, and more are all nearby.
So, come and spend a day on this picturesque beauty or any of the other stunning beaches in the area that can visited once you have found a villa in Calabria and are spending a holiday in this gorgeous and underrated part of Italy.
