Description

The Acqua di Friso Agriturismo is a working farm  situated on a hill over looking by the sea and the mountains in the background on the Ionian coast of Calabria, a few kilometers south of Catanzaro Marina.

A sandy beach is accessible by a path through the farm property to the sea (or you can ask to be shuttled to and from the beach) and it's just a 5 minute walk tothe local post-office, super market, pharmacy, train station, bus statino, bank, internet point and other stores.

The property has three cottages, Arocha, Arethusa and Aegle, hidden in a pine forest above the olive orchard.  From this rise above the sea, guests can enjoy breathtaking view of the Aragonese castle on the sea (Le Castella) and, southwards, the Punta Stilo lighthouse.

Each air conditioned cottage has terracotta tiled floors, wood beams,  and old style furnishings typical of the area.  The comfortable bedrooms feature wrought iron beds with linen spreads and hand embroidered pillows; the windows boast embroidered curtains.

We organize trips to the nearby sea-marina (sea-reserve) by a glass bottom boat to let you admire the wonderful scenery: wrecked ships and a flora and a fauna that are unique for underwater swimmers and isolated beaches reachable only by boat where you can see the rare sea-lilies.
