Once you are inside the palazzo and take a look above the sea, you are hocked. The apartment is centrally located downtown of the centro storico but with its location on the edge of the cliff you can enjoy serene scenery and amazing views.
Pizzo has a healthy and relaxing climate. The location is serene, quiet, peaceful, picturesque and romantic. Just 3 minutes walk from bustling, lively main piazza (which is quiet between 2pm-5pm as well) but getting busier and busier in summer nights after 9pm. In August there a many performances on stage.
Pizzo, other than more touristic places in Calabria like Tropea, is not as much deserted outside the main holiday season as the Pizzitani live in their village all year round. Even centro storico is becoming more and more popular with local families who are re-discovering the charm of their village. Even in winter it is not deserted.
While in Pizzo you can taste the world famous tartufo ice cream that was invented here. It worth the whole trip. Or if you prefer a more savoury tastes, then you are right in Calabria. The delicious tomato with sweet red onions are a favorite light lunch dish. Calabrians like to cook with chili and garlic.
The town also has an old little castello with an museum and around 10 churches to visit.
All our favorite restaurants and bars, all in walking distance. If you rent a car, we have ideas for day trips for you as well. Calabria is a beautiful, hidden gem!
