Surrounded by Calabrian greenery, spartan dwelling overlooking the Gulf of St. Euphemia.

In this place, still untainted by light pollution, at night you can observe a wonderful starry sky, warm yourself by the fireplace, sip a cup of herbal tea flavored with Calabrian licorice. On the property, once home to the "" farm, traces remain of an ancient calcara used for the production of quicklime mortar for the construction of stone dwellings, and there is a spring of ferrous water. About a 16-minute drive away is the delightful town of arbëreshë origin Gizzeria, evidence of ancient Italic and Greek settlements. The dwelling is an ancient ruin, specifically a former stable refurbished by the operators of a local social farm.
Nature and surroundings
The 8 hectares of Mediterranean scrubland surrounding the house are worth exploring, letting the sounds and scents of the countryside transport you, among ancient oak trees, cork oaks, olive trees, licorice, broom and expanses of wild blooms. You can also admire the bees at work: at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s he raised bees in the bugni and collected sweet honey from them with his bare hands. His descendants wanted to resume family tradition by installing some hives on site. On days when the sky is clear, the breathtaking panorama, which opens from Pizzo Calabro to Capo Suvero, shows the beautiful Aeolian islands, among which Vulcan in eruption is a truly breathtaking sight: it is the Coast of the Phaeacians sung by Homer in the Odyssey. About half an hour's drive away is Mount Mancuso, belonging to the Reventino mountain range, a western extension of Sila Piccola, where there is still a NATO Military Base.
