Zambrone

As is typical throughout Italy Zambrone has a Paese, historical hilltop village located in the sleepy hills and a newer Marina town next to the gorgeous white sandy beach. Zambrone Paese is quite and peaceful, where the locals while away the hours playing cards outside the local café. Set in stunning surroundings with forested valleys as far as the eye can see and far reaching views of the sparkling Tyrrhenian coastline. The Marina in contrast is a hive of activity and is perfect for families with a wide range of activities including the recently refurbished water park. All this however does not detract from the stunning beach which easily competes with Tropea just 9km away, with its fine, pure white sand and crystal clear calm sea. Zambrone Paese is completely untainted by tourism, approximately 45 minutes drive from Lamezia Terme International and offers the best of both worlds.

Vibo Valentia

On a good day from the highest point of Vibo Valentia it is possible to see the Sila Mountains to the north and the summit of Mount Etna on Sicily to the south. Today, it is the provincial capital and full of imposing official buildings, from the Norman castle to numerous renaissance and baroque churches. Its name is a corruption of 'Veip', 'Hipponion' and 'Valentia', all identities given to the area at different times in its history. In the old town which sprawls down the hill you will find Roman ruins and thermal baths. The Norman castle has four towers each built at different times by different rulers. The castle is noted for being the spot where 7 martyrs were slain for having defended the town from the impending take over by the Pignatelli and the Archaeological Museum is housed inside. Not just an important historical and cultural centre, Vibo Valentia has a substantial pretty marina with berths for yachts and tourist trips to the Aeloian Islands. The harbour is a bursting with vibrant cafes, bars and restaurants offering the fabulous local cuisine.
