For the more serious water babies and beach lovers, a villa in Calabria means a vacation spent exploring some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and the world and a rugged coastline dotted by charming little villages, panoramic viewing spots, and all sorts of magical surprises. Yet, this is an area of Italy that gets comparatively few tourists and, unlike some parts of the country, is dying for more visitors! So, if you want to get ahead of the crowd, make your budget stretch further, and enjoy stunning beaches where finding a nice spot is not quite as much of a competitive sport during the summer months, then maybe Calabria is the place for you...

Italy is no stranger to towns and attractions that look like something from a fairytale, that are so utterly picturesque and magical that is hard to believe it is real. We have seen plenty of these destinations in our journeys through this blog, particularly in areas that can be easily visited by those who book one of our villas in Tuscany. However, another impossibly charming and magical town to add to the list is a must-see for those who book a vacation rental in Latium or a holiday rental in Rome and who are looking for a truly unforgettable day-trip destination: the enchanting town of Civita di Bagnoregio.

Those who book a villa in Tuscany likely plan on venturing out into her famous countryside, to drive down winding, cypress-lined roads, to take in sweeping views over rolling green hills and valleys filled with a patchwork of fields and vineyards, to stumble upon sights like endless golden meadows of sunflowers, and to discover charming little villages and striking medieval towns that look like something from a storybook. As you drive around, maybe with particular destinations in mind and attractions on your itinerary or maybe simply for the joy of the activity itself, you’ll eventually work up an appetite. Of course, if you rent a vacation rental in Tuscany, you’ll discover that almost anywhere you go, great things can be found to eat and drink but if you are after a rather magical experience, then why not a dreamy picnic of delicious treats in a beyond picturesque setting, near the famous wine town of Montepulciano?
