Overview
Nestled along the picturesque Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, in the charming bay of Santa Maria, lies the delightful Le Civette villa. Just a stone's throw away from the shimmering sands of Santa Maria Beach, this inviting holiday haven offers a tranquil retreat for up to six guests.
Stepping inside, you will find yourself enveloped in the timeless charm of this villa, which was built in the 1970s. It has been lovingly refurbished with the rustic elegance of Vietri ceramics and terracotta accents. The interiors exude an understated sophistication, where simplicity meets comfort in perfect harmony.
As you wander through the welcoming entrance, you will be greeted by the warm glow of a crackling fireplace in the cosy living room, where a plush sofa beckons for moments of relaxation or can even double up as a snug sleeping space for an extra guest. Adjacent to this inviting space lies a well-appointed kitchen.
Le Civette has two serene double bedrooms, each adorned with touches of coastal charm. Two gleaming bathrooms, complete with refreshing showers—one of which is ensuite—promise moments of indulgence and rejuvenation after a day spent basking in the sun.
However, the true gem of Le Civette lies beyond its threshold in the expansive outdoor sanctuary that awaits. Step onto the sprawling porch, where panoramic vistas of the azure sea stretch out in all their glory, inviting you to linger over leisurely breakfasts or enchanting sunset soirees. With ample private parking, convenience reigns supreme, allowing you to explore the wonders of Capo Vaticano and beyond at your leisure.
The villa offers an idyllic haven for families with little ones in tow, where children can frolic freely amidst the lush surroundings. The nearby beach beckons with its crystalline waters and golden sands, just a stroll away via a private road.
In essence, Le Civette is more than just a holiday home—it is a sanctuary of serenity, where cherished memories are made amidst the gentle embrace of Calabria's coastal splendour.

We will definitely come back!
The house is very comfortable for a family, there is everything, washing machine, dishwasher, wi-fi, air conditioning, private parking in front of the house, barbecue, outdoor shower and for those who are able to use it even a wood oven! The sea view is wonderful and the beach is within easy walking distance, as well as some restaurants where you can eat very well. We had with us our dog, and the house with the outdoor spaces totally fenced proved perfect. We had a great time and we will definitely come back!
