Calabria - Italy

Overview

Calabria is Italy’s southernmost region and is home to our very first developments in this wonderful country. Very popular with Italian holidaymakers, the delights of the sun-drenched deep south are only now being discovered by the rest of us.

Unspoiled, idyllic and one of the best-kept secrets in Italy, Calabria is one of the most beautiful parts of the whole country, with perfect weather all year round and a relaxed, very Italian way of life. Calabria is right next to fascinating Sicily too and trips via ferry to Messina are quick, cheap and convenient.

Offering superb value for your euros, a little money in Calabria can go a long way. Our Calabrian properties are the best value for money around and with Headlands' experience and expertise we guarantee that buying your home in bella Italia will be easy and stress-free. Our new developments are close to the town of Bianco on the south eastern Calabrian coast. Here you have the breathtaking Aspromonte National Park, as well as sites of ancient Greco-Roman ruins, perfect sandy beaches and the clearest aquamarine seas in Italy very close at hand. Incredibly, there is also a growing skiing industry in Calabria. Combine all of this with glorious southern sunshine and it makes Calabria an undiscovered paradise.
