Monthly Rentals in Cleto

Camilla’s home is absolutely gorgeous—my friend and I are already scheming to return! It’s thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, with great views of the town and ocean. The street it’s on is absolutely adorable and has many cafes and an incredible gelato place. Camilla and her charming husband made checking in and out easy, and they have plenty of local recommendations. Staying at their home was one of the highlights of our trip!

The apartment is tiny, which is obvious from every other review, but its many charms more than make up for its lack of space. Everything inside is beautiful and careful considered, and the clever Italian craftsmanship of the structure itself is a delight. And truly, the location could not be better. The town of Fiumefreddo Bruzzio is exquisite, full of mysterious stairways and unexpected views, and the plaza outside your door will remain in memory for the rest of your life.

Where do I start. Beautiful house up in the hills around 5km from town. On arrival we were welcomed by Vitoria and his family and immediately felt at home. Evening meal with wine was offered for €25 each, glad we accepted as it was the best meal in Italy so far. Typical Calabrian food mostly from their farm. Served outside on the terrace by all family members and w Service was like you would get in a restaurant. On arrival, fridge had water, bread, fruit juice, salami and fresh milk along with a fresh bowl of oranges from the garden. Fresh baked croissants delivered for breakfast along with fresh peaches. The house was spotlessly clean and very comfy beds. On leaving, Vittorio’s wife supplied us with home made Nduja Calabrese and jars of pickled vegetables. Cute and very friendly dogs. What a wonderful family to stay with ❤️🇮🇹❤️👌

The place was comfortable, big enough for eight people (four bedrooms, big living room, small kitchen, nice terace and couryard, three toiletts, two showers inside). One can walk directly from the courtyard/garden to the beach (350 meters). There is a supermarket (Conard) nearby (2mins by car, but not for walking, since the way is along a road without pedestrian way) which has a good offer including fresh fish, nice cheese etc. From the place one can (by car) explore the beautiful beaches of Calabria. Dina/Andrea provided us with great recommendations. Expecially nice are the beaches Spiaggia di Grotticelle near Capo Vaticano (some 90km south of the place, but absolutely worth it; spend a whole day), Marinella di Zambrone (some 70km south of the house; magic!!) and - on the other side of Calabria - Spiaggia Le Castella (super nice, great sand, great view); afterwards have a pizza in Salvatore's in Le Castella; extremely yummy and cheap! We also visited Tropea and Pizzo - nice towns!
