Vakantiehuizen in Santa Caterina dello Ionio

Wonderful villa in a quiet area, situated right at a great, clean, 40m wide sandy beach with crystal clear waters on front. Surrounded by a spacious garden which during our stay (May 2018) was ripe with citrus fruits and delicious sweet oranges. It has a great balcony at the front of the house, shielded by both the house and the lush treefront of the sometimes strong winds coming from the inland. The little play-garden for the kids was a hit while we lounged away and enjoyed the view of the garden, the trees and the wide sea in front. That said, when we were not at the beach. During those visits what struck us most was the lack of other visitors to the beach. This might be due to the pre-season, but with 23-25C, 40m white sandy beach and crystal clear waters you wouldn't expect to see NO ONE at the beach other than your own family for as far as the eye could see. Absolutely awesome though, biggest private beach we've ever had, and great for some running at start or end of day. The inside of the house is nothing special though everything is functional. We had the top-level of the house only, 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms (one only accessible through the master bedroom) and a small kitchen/seating area in between. But this is Italy, so why stay inside. Great house, friendly owners and a seperate english-speaking caretaker which was always reachable for anything. Would definitely look for it again when visiting Calabria again.
