About the host
Hosted by Kylie Clement
Hello! We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do. We accidentally discovered Scalea during our Italy travels and quickly fell in love with this quaint fishing village. Scalea offers a wonderful year round climate (T-shirts in December), a calm warm sea, fresh fish and vegetables and unbelievably inexpensive, locally sourced wine. We enjoy exploring the over 600 year old alley ways, swimming every day and strolling to the bars, cafes and restaurants. We like to walk everywhere...no need for a car (and we lose weight everytime we're here). Here's a little video that sums up why we love this little sea side village: https://youtu.be/_ZTRSJ9_c14
Why they chose this property
Vista Mare is in the perfect location allowing you to stroll (400 meters) to the beach, shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. If you don't want to bother renting a car, you won't need to. There are plenty of trains arriving from Rome and/or Naples. Rail travel offers an efficient way to see Italy without the stress of driving. Once you have relaxed and are ready for a little adventure, there are a lot of sites to be seen. Pompeii is a 2 hour drive from Vista Mare and a fun day trip (you can also get to Pompeii via train). The town loves to celebrate with fireworks, especially during religious celebrations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJkDtiiwX_k
What makes this property unique
Proximity to all amenities, including grocery stores, general shopping, beach, lidos, bars, cafes, restaurants and churches. Scalea is a quaint beachside town in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. Scalea is approx. 2.5 hours from Naples via the fast train and approximately 5 hours via fast train from Rome. The town derives its name from its hillside terraced lay-out and is located at the bottom of the Capo Scalea promontory. With a population of 11,000 people (off season), Scalea offers true relaxation with excellent year round climate (t-shirts and shorts in December). Enjoy swimming in the warm Tyrrhenian Sea followed by eating the freshest produce served by local restaurants. The local wine is outstanding (and so incredibly inexpensive). When you're ready to adventure out, sights include Spiaggia dell'Arcomagno, Island Dino, Torre Talao, the Castello Normano, the Chiesa Santa Maria d'Episcopio, the Grotta del Leone, the Grotta Azzurra, Cave of the Sheep and, for super adventurous types, try the LaoRaft Scalea (for white water rafting). Pompeii is a 2 hour drive and a fun day trip.
We hope you enjoy this little slice of heaven as much as we do!
