La Conchiglia
La Conchiglia is located in southern Italy at Capo Vaticano, an area of Calabria known for its stunning coastline and safe beaches. From here, the more adventurous can explore this unknown corner of Italy.
"We had a great time at La Conchiglia....it completely lived up to our expectations. The apartment was fine....the staff were lovely...the food was fantastic. We felt very safe and I think it would be hard to find a better place for young children."
"Well, we had, as ever, a simply fantastic time"!
"The apartment was above expectations - fantastic view, clean and spacious".
Small and family run, La Conchiglia is a collection of simple villas and apartments scattered throughout the large grounds, from which a track leads down to a sandy beach. There are 10 villas each with a double and a twin room in the spacious gardens. All the villas have a kitchen and bathroom.
Attached to the two bedroom villas, but with a separate entrance, are the standard hotel rooms, which can be sold in conjunction with the 2 bedroom villa as one unit. Close by is Villa Karen which consists of 4 three bedroom apartments with air conditioning. Please note that during high season, music can sometimes be heard from the beach from this property.
7 two bedroom apartments are located in a parkland area towards the back of the property and are furnished to the same standard as the villas.
Self catering at La Conchiglia is easy. The nearest shops are a short drive away in the village of San Nicolo di Ricardi, which also has several bars and restaurants. Alternatively you can eat at the restaurant at La Conchiglia, where you can enjoy delicious traditional southern Italian dishes and admire the view towards Stromboli.
There is a large swimming pool at La Conchiglia as well as a small children’s pool, and the beach, where motor boats and windsurfers can be rented, is only a 5 to 10 minute walk. However, there is also a shuttle bus service.
For the more active, tennis courts and horse riding are close by, and bicycles can be hired to explore the area. Alternatively, small harbour towns and secluded beaches are waiting to be discovered by those wishing to venture further afield.
La Conchiglia is ideal for families or couples looking for value for money in a beautiful part of Italy.
Capo Vaticano is particularly lively during the peak months of July and August, with many bars and restaurants offering a wide variety of options should you wish to dine out.
