Only 3 hours by plane from Scandinavia or from Great Britain you will find yourself at the southern tip of Italy the region Calabria. Between the Ionion and the Tyrrhenian sea you find deep green hilly landscape and 800km of beaches.
The Rocca Nettuno Garden is located between Pizzo and Lamezia Terme. In only 10 minutes by car you can reach the international airport Lamezia Terme and the distance to the historic centre of Pizzo with bars, restaurants and shops is only 8km.

Calabria, the most southern region of the Italian continent, borders in the North to the region “Basilikata”. In the North-East it is surrounded by the gulf of Tarent, in the South-West from the Ionian sea and in the west from the Tyrrhenian sea. In the South the narrow strait of Messina separates Calabria from Sicily.

The capital of the region is Catanzaro (100.000 inhabitants) and is located in the centre of Calabria. The city hosts the seat of an archbishop and has some beautiful churches and a cathedral. The cultural capital Cosenza is situated north. Cosenza is a nice baroque historic city with many churches, piazzas, a huge fort and of course many nice restaurants and bars. The closest city to the Garden Resort**** Calabria is Lamezia Terme (80.000 inhabitants) – the city “between mountains and the sea” extends over the three communities Nicastro, Sambiase and San Eufemia. As the name already suggests it offers also thermal springs “Terme di Caronte” by roman origin. Lamezia offers different shopping possibilities in the centre and in shopping centres and the international airport. The biggest city in Calabria is the most southern Reggio di Calabria (180.000 inhabitants), offering a metropolitan atmosphere, various shopping possibilities as well as a long boardwalk at the sea and the national museum showing parts of the famous Magna Graecia, the Greek history of Calabria.

For all the nature seekers, in Calabria you find some nice national parks where many endangered plants and animals still live (Parco Nazionale della Calabria). The beaches in Calabria are famous for their pale sand and the turquoise colour of the sea. Even in high season you find hidden, empty beaches with enough space.
