LOCATION

 

Scalea by night

Situated in a small sea town called "Scalea", Villa Brazzano lies among pine trees surrounded by olive groves and palms. Scalea enjoys one of the most beautiful parts of the Tyrrhenian Coast and it's dark volcanic sand, the clear Azure sea and it's natural sea caves in the "Ajnella" area.

San Nicola - Arcomagno

Scalea is one of the towns that make the "Riviera dei Cedri", one of the few, if not the only, area on earth where the "Cedro" (lime) grows.

 

Riviera dei Cedri - The "Cedro"

This unusual fruit,that looks like a green enormous lemon is used to make a local popular liquor that takes it's same name.

Scalea was no doubt inhabited even in prehistorical times, as the discoveries of the Palaeolithic Period that were excavated in a cavern near the "Talao Tower", show. This tower was built on the highest cliff of a small island just in front of Scalea, for sentinels to guard the town from invaders coming from sea.

Scalea - Old Town

"Scalea Vecchia" (the "old town") placed on the heights still preserves remains of ancient times such as the "Cimalonga Tower" that is today an Antiquarium but at the time was a prison.

Legend has it that it's prisoners built a small tunnel ending on the Torre Talao Island to escape, but once discovered was also used as an escape tunnel to reach the island from land in case of invasion.

 

The VILLAGE

 

Entrance

Villa Brazzano was built in the early 19th century as an oil mill, on 55 beautiful acres of Calabrese countryside and only few hundred metres from the sea.    

Driving through a 19th century portal you'll find yourself in a land of nature...

...through the lane and at the end of the driveway stands Villa Brazzano....

..among oleander and geraniums and surrounded by Pine, Olive and Palm trees bringing up memories of it's past.

Part of the old oil mill has been converted in a Restaurant so if you've never tasted the real Calabrese food, now's your chance.

The chef suggests a variety of dishes of the local cuisine, such as pasta, fish, meat and pizzas...

... if you'd like to give it a try just ask locally.

 

The village has 30 villas all in a lush green setting and each with it's own patio...

 

Each villa is fitted with a kitchen, fridge, bedrooms and a lounge or dining area. The Villas are spacious for 4 people but can add extra beds/bed settees to fit another 2.
