Vista Sila is a beautiful new residential near the hilltop town of Caulonia Marina overlooking the beautiful Ionian Sea. This is a superbly appointed development with a communal swimming pool and gardens and it is less than 1 kilometre from the beach.

The coastal town of Caulonia Marina, with its soft sandy beaches, traditional Italian restaurants and year-around holiday atmosphere, is close to some superb ancient Greek temple remains.

These delightful apartments comprise of: A balcony area, entrance door leading to a living/dining area, a basic kitchen, one double bedroom plus one full bathroom, all built to the highest specifications and top quality materials.

Caulonia perches atop a hill that rises some 300 metres from the Ionian coast and sits between two rivers, facing the sea. The breathtaking scenery surrounding the town has made Caulonia a popular spot since Roman times. The town boasts Byzantine frescos, a Norman castle and some interesting architecture. Caulonia might be an unlikely setting for a film festival, but it hosts the Festival Del Giovane Cinema Italiano in July, which has attracted such Italian film luminaries like Giovanni Tornatore, who made the Oscar winning Cinema Paradiso. The film festival has recently celebrated the career of Leopoldo Trieste, a Calabrian actor who starred in Tornatore?s paean to the everlasting magic of movies.

Caulonia, like the neighbouring towns of Monasterace and Roccella Jonica, has plenty of religious and gastronomic festivals to celebrate. During August there are several important festivals, notably Tarantella Power which celebrates the fiery passionate tarantella dance that originated in Calabria.

There are two airports, Lamezia and Reggio De Calabria within a 55-60 minute drive from Caulonia.
