The onsite restaurant serves quality local dishes; we can recommend the chef’s speciality `Bucatini’, it’s delicious! For dessert why not try one of the local speciality ice creams with a splash of amaretto or the famous Tartufo, it’s quite addictive. And for those with a sweet tooth try the lemon cello, it will blow your socks off! Situated next door is the world renowned Club Med with discounted day passes available to residents at Pizzo Beach Club.

Pizzo is a traditional fishing port on the Calabrian coast and is a spectacular location. Set on a steep cliff overlooking the sea it has one of the longest coastlines of unspoilt beaches. This pretty historical town is just a short 10 minute drive from the apartment. As one of the most renowned historical towns in the Vibo Valentia province it has retained much of its character and charm.

Walk the cobbled streets and imagine how life used to be. Visit the Piazza Della Republic where events and social occasions take place during the summer months. Enjoy the spectacular views across the ocean overlooking Castle Murat. There are many restaurants and gelateria’s to choose from which remain open at siesta. Try the local speciality Tartufo, an ice cream brick, covered in coco powder with a soft centre oozing molten chocolate, a must for ice cream lovers!

At the foot of the town lies the marina which is filled with bars and restaurants. There is a small beach, quite sheltered and ideal for small children. Whether going for a swim followed by lunch or an atmospheric evening meal this area will not disappoint. Towering above the marina is the imposing rock face with Castle Murat perched on top. Particularly atmospheric at night this area is a popular nightspot.

Lamezia airport is just a short 10 minute drive from the apartment. To truly discover the region we recommend that you hire a car. At the moment there are no rental companies in Pizzo but there are numerous companies at the airport or Lamezia town. It is essential that you book ahead to avoid disappointment. Don’t forget to request car seats for accompanying children. We can recommend Maggiore Car Rental who are competitively priced and have always given us excellent customer service.

Additional Location Information

The Calabrian region is a unique holiday destination and still relatively undiscovered. Enriched with history & culture there are many beautiful beaches and castles dotted along the coastline. Many fairs and festivals take place in Calabria throughout the year. They are always exciting events, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. There are many seasonal art festivals with performances and stalls showcasing local delicacies. Visit the wonderful markets offering fresh produce on almost every day of the week. Religious festivals are celebrated by processions carrying venerated statues around the streets. The locals are very keen to share with you their heritage & passion for the region.

Pizzo has claimed to have been founded by colonists from ancient Greece. Its history begins with a community of monks, a fort, and a fishing village since 1300. The name Pizzo translates into bird's beak, and fits perfectly to the rock face extending into the sea. For centuries it was the custom to spread nets and corral tuna in the area called Centofontane, although this activity was banned in the 1970’s. Legend tells us that in the areas of Piedigrotta and Prangi sea caves were used by Saracen pirates for capturing prisoners. In 1783 the town was almost destroyed by an earthquake, and again it suffered some damage from another earthquake in 1905.
