Calabria is a stunning coastal region surrounded by the crystal-clear blue waters of the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas, rocky coasts and umbrella-dotted sandy beaches. Inland are endless acres of lemon, orange and olive trees, mountainous backdrops and rolling hills. Calabria’s history dates back thousands of years and is a place where you can explore ruins, castles and medieval villages. It’s as equally as beautiful as anywhere in Italy, yet still remains one of the lesser-visited regions.

If you’ve ever wanted to truly immerse yourself in Italian culture and experience what it’s like to be welcomed, as family, into the homes of people whose hospitality and genuine excitement to share their cuisine and culture is undeniable, Southern Italy is where you go.
