Baia del Sole: peak family joy on the Calabrian coast

Where ?

The Baia del Sole resort lies in a secluded spot by the sea, a short ride down the coast from the historic town of Tropea, in the region of Calabria. As with many areas of the Italian south, which still struggles with unemployment and poverty, it not the most heralded within the nation – indeed it is famously looked down upon by northern Italians – but visitors don’t need to get involved in all that. Instead, after a visit here, it’s impossible to see it as anything other than spectacularly beautiful, very friendly and full of character. It is the kind of place where absolute gems can be found that don’t cost the earth; Baia del Sole being a prime example.
