bettered.
La Torretta Beach Club is perfectly placed on the Costa Azzurra, the Coast of the Gods, to explore this exciting and vibrant area, known today as Italy’s Real Riviera. Indeed the “toe of Italy” really is Italy’s hidden jewel in the crown. The area offers a taste of authentic Italy with a laid back atmosphere, the perfect holiday destination.
Real Italy has a varied coastline of sands and rocky outcrops, which is so beautiful it has been given the name La Costa degli Dei: the Coast of the Gods. It is said that the gods felt this natural, aquatic paradise was just the place to settle their children. It is famous throughout Italy for its white beaches and the clear blue sea, ideal for bathing. The coastline is heaven on earth and once seen and enjoyed this paradise is never forgotten.
Within walking distance of La Torretta Beach Club is the seaside village of Briatico, once a small, quiet fishing port but now a charming seaside resort. This historic small Norman town of just 4000 inhabitants is located on what is known locally as the Costa Azzurra. It is 25m above sea level and on a slope, so again offers delicious views out over the Tyrrhenian Sea. In Briatico visitors can discover a classic piazza where villagers meet for coffee in the morning, family restaurants and a long boulevard leading to the sea. The area surrounding the town is scattered with numerous vineyards, orchards and olive groves.
La Torretta Myths and legends abound, interwoven around the dramatic landscape and the lovely Tyrrhenian Sea. The granite hillsides contort into mystical shapes which often assume the form of a dragon or a mythological animal, transporting the visitor into a magical world far from reality. Combine this with the fragrant air and spectacular light, a visit to
The town pulls out all the stops on July 16 to celebrate with style. Madonna del Carmelo Day sees the beautiful statue of the Madonna carried in a procession on a boat along the coast towards the beach of St’Irene. There are other interesting festivals throughout the summer too.
Italy
Southern
Calabria is one region in Italy that has remained true to its roots. Unlike other areas of the country where tourism and industry have taken their toll, much of Calabria seems to have been untouched by time. Driving along its sinuous and often mountainous roads, it is not unusual to come a cross a donkey loaded down with firewood, or a shepherd leading his flock, lazily across a “highway”.
In small cities and towns across the region, old men spend hours playing cards at tables in the main piazzas, while grandmothers still dressed in black, sit on their doorstops to gossip with those who pass by. The region’s landscape, although often very rugged, has something for everyone. Surrounded by water, it has golden beaches, and seas that contain almost every kind of fish imaginable. Moving inland towards La Sila Grande, one finds an area unlike any other in Italy. It has snow-capped mountains, streams and waterfalls, and miles of evergreen forests. The region, once remote from the rest of Europe, is now easily accessible. A couple of hours fly time from northern Europe, the area is now served by airlines flying direct in to the modern Lamezia Terme airport. Drive south along the coast road, with breathtaking views……. Who could fail to be entranced?
Romantic villages cling to the pine clad granite hillsides, clear blue, sparkling waters lap 800kms of pristine, clean, white sandy beaches and hidden coves. Citrus orchards and olive groves clothe the landscape of beautiful Calabria, leading onwards and upwards to fragrant pine, beech and chestnut forests. Add local wine, a distinctive and hearty cuisine, centuries of fascinating culture and a relaxed Italian attitude, and the love affair with “the real Italy” begins! The region’s long and fascinating history has given rise to the diverse and exciting culture and cuisine Southern Italy enjoys.
Calabria
Today Calabria is a haven of peace and tranquility but this was not always so. Its position at the “toe of Italy” made it an ideal target for conquerors from the sea. The land was first settled by mainland Oscan speaking tribes, and it was one such Oscan tribe which introduced viniculture long ago in history. The Greeks recognised the area as perfect for the expansion of their empire and they established powerful and flourishing towns and cities along the coast. Such was its importance that the great philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras set up a school in Crotone in the fifth century BC.
HistoricTropea Tropea is so lovely it is considered to be one of the seven pearls of the Mediterranean Sea. Known as the St Tropez of southern Italy, it is the most important and fashionable centre on La Costa degli Dei.
The fabulous town is just 10 minutes south along the coastal road which runs just outside the new La Torretta Beach Club. It was lovingly described by early visitors as “a truly lovely historic stronghold that sprouts straight out of a 300ft crag with a cliff edge cathedral”.
This 12th century Cathedral is the home of the icon of the Madonna di Romania. Tropea’s history dates back to the times of the Romans when Caesar Octavian was defeated. Built on a reef in the Gulf of St Euphemia, the attractive town, crammed with lovely 17 and 18th century buildings constructed for rich merchants with courtyards, colonnades and important porticos, is popular with both locals and visitors. It is famous throughout Italy for its quaint and irresistible labyrinth of cobbled, narrow streets, pretty
buildings, friendly restaurants and bars. It offers explosive views of Stromboli, especially at sunset and on August 12 the setting sun appears to drop right into the cup of the volcano, like a bright red boiled egg! The Church of Santa Maria dell’Isola in Tropea is one of the icons of the region. It was built in the year 800 as a Benedictine Monastery, and sits on a tiny island just a few metres from the mainland of Tropea. The church is known as one of the wonders of Italy in miniature. The Tropea area is also renowned for producing the very best sweet
red onions in Italy and there is even a red onion ice cream to celebrate this fame! One of the town’s many food festivals, the Blue Fish and Red Onions Festival, is tremendously popular with visitors. The town now has an attractive marina to add to its charm. Boats cruise from the marina to the romantic, nearby Aeolian Islands and also Stromboli.
Pretty Pizzo At Pizzo Calabro the mountains meet the sea and the views are simply beautiful across the Gulf of Lamezia Terme and include Stromboli, the landmark volcanic island. Just like Tropea, the town is noted for its fascinating long, narrow alleys, almost all linked to the lower part of the city by ancient staircases The city centre is dominated by the Aragonese Caste which was built in the 15th century and the beautiful Church of St Matrix George Martyr.
The castle houses a charming museum which traces the city’s often turbulent past! For those who like to shop, the town boasts shops selling typical Calabrian products and of course local souvenirs. Pizzo also boasts a large “balcony” looking out over the sea offering visitors panoramic views of the whole coast. La Piazza della Reppublica is the focal point of the city, both for tourists and for locals. It is surrounded by historic bars where it is a sheer pleasure to sit and savour the world as it goes on by whilst sampling the delicious local ice-cream: Il Tartufo di Pizzo. Without a doubt, Italy is the home of
ice cream and Pizzo contributes to the world of gastronomy with the world famous Il Tartufo. This amazing chocolate ice cream with a zabaglione centre, so named because it suspiciously looks like a truffle, was first made in the town to honour the visit of Prince Umberto I of Savoy in 1943 and it is still served up today to much acclaim in the town’s 16 gellateria or ice cream parlours. From the Square take the stairs to the Marina and enjoy a refreshing walk along the Promenade. A walk along the beach to the north of Pizzo is also a must. It takes the visitor to the Church of Piedigrotta. This was built into the granite hillside by shipwrecked Neapolitan sailors as an offering of thanks to the Virgin Mary for saving their lives.
With the scent of fragrant Bergamot filling the air, Briatico is rightfully regarded as a place of extraordinary beauty with an unique character and charm. Spring in particular brings a never ending sea of flowers in a rainbow of colours and the herbs and spices of charming Calabria combine with the salty sea air to create an exotic magic. Myths and legends abound at Briatico, not least at the stunning Sant’Irene a landmark rock reaching out into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Legend has it that the mermaids of the Mediterranean were imprisoned in tunnels deep inside the rock, the tunnels having been hewn by mythical creatures, half man half fish. A few hundred metres from the shore is the mystical island of Sant’Irene, where once the Romans fished for tuna, another location to set the imagination racing.
Briatico is a place for relaxation and for fun. Between its steep ledges come glimpses of breathtaking panoramas and of course the views of the Torre La Rocchetta, the picturesque ruin of a 16th century Saracen tower. The area is rich with archaelogical sites and pottery, tools and beautiful jewellery have been found dating back to the Iron Age. Old meets new with style and vitality in this town of contrasts. The area is known for its transparent blue seas and Italy’s most perfect white beaches, some of which are only accessible by boat from the town’s lovely new marina. Inland the area is crisscrossed with vineyards, orchards and olive groves and the flora and fauna are stunning.
Breathtaking Briatico The town still has a daily supply of fish from the Tyrrherian Sea. The town’s restaurants and bars are famed for their cuisine made from the fresh ingredients grown right here in southern Italy.
