Why Choose Calabria Vacation Rentals?

Calabria is a region in southern Italy which occupies the "toe" of the Italian peninsula south of Naples. Known mainly for it's mountains and sea coast, Calabria is becoming a popular tourist destination and attracts visitors who enjoy exploring untamed mountain regions as well as those who like to rest on a sandy beach or learn about the culture and wine of the area.
You can see vineyards everywhere. The influence of the mountains and sea play a vital role in developing the distinct flavors of the wines of Calabria. Around three thousand years ago winemaking was brought over by the Greeks and Phoenicians and the local winemakers have been perfecting their craft ever since. Visit some of the wineries and you will be pleasantly surprised at the lack of crowds, the welcoming, informative wine makers and the distinctive tastes of the local wines. With the classic Mediterranean climate there are plenty of olive plantations and harvest can be an interesting, fun and tasty time.
There are many reasons to choose a Calabria vacation rental for your Italian home as you explore the area.
There are less visitors in the South of Italy. Things generally cost less, the air is less polluted and the beaches, roads, ancient sites and wineries are less crowded. However, there are LOTS of things to do. The area is surrounded by 400 miles of coastline and the waters are rich in fishing and marine life. Diving in the hulls of ancient sunken ships can be a once in a lifetime experience and the list goes on……you can hike or bike, ride horses or ski in the magnificent mountains and a treasure chest of medieval churches and villages will take you back to another time, and of course the vineyards with all the wine culture at your fingertips…… See it for yourself and make your base a vacation rental in Calabria.
