Villa on the Sea with pool and direct descent to the beach
In an exclusive and secluded location, wonderfully quiet on a six-hectare promontory property with a grandiose view overlooking the sea and the coast below, the holiday home “Villa La Salamandra” exudes a romantic Mediterranean atmosphere and an undeniable feeling of luxury. The sea view is one of the most beautiful on the entire coast, and a heavenly sandy beach is right at your feet. The country villa, which is accessed via a private driveway, has been restored with great attention to detail, without affecting the Mediterranean atmosphere of the farmhouse, an ancient and aristocratic hunting lodge until the beginning of the last century. Terracotta, wrought iron, natural stone walls and wooden beamed ceilings make the house a splendid holiday home in one of the most magical and enchanting places on the Costa degli Dei. Both the large apartment on the ground floor and the comfortable "annex" are offered for rent, completely independent from the body of the villa. The annex (about 40 square meters) can be rented for a second family or a group of friends as it has two bedrooms, each with its own "en suite" bathroom, a small kitchen, its own outdoor area and a large terrace-solarium above. The annex is not rented separately, but with the rest of the ground floor, to ensure maximum privacy for guests of the house. The large outdoor space is reserved for the ground floor apartment for exclusive use and offers several terraces and a porch overlooking the port and the fortress of Tropea to linger in the open air: and from everywhere you can enjoy the exciting view of the sea and the heavenly beach below, as well as the island of Stromboli immediately in front. The garden, terrace and porch are equipped with tables and chairs for outdoor dining and with two comfortable outdoor lounges to spend long evenings and unforgettable sunsets. There is also the possibility of grilling in the garden thanks to the dedicated barbecue area. The most suggestive point is certainly the space created around the ancient monolith on the overlook, ideal for aperitifs at sunset and illuminated for unforgettable evenings. But the strong point of the property is undoubtedly the private path to the sandy beach below directly from the garden. Guests will find at their disposal at the end of the path, near the small gate to the beach, umbrellas and deck chairs that they can use and arrange as they wish. On the way back from the beach to the house, there is the possibility of taking an outdoor shower in the garden. The property is completed by a beautiful above-ground swimming pool that is extremely modern and functional, equipped with hydromassage stations and night lighting, as well as a large solarium equipped with deck chairs and an additional shower. The apartment and the annex together offer space for up to 9 people. A laundry room with washing machine is available to guests of the apartment and the annex. Surroundings: About 200 meters from the house there is a small grocery store where you can do your basic shopping, and on the beach below there are two good restaurants. The small and quiet village of Parghelia is just a 5 minute walk from the property and has more grocery stores, pharmacy, car/scooter/bike rental, minimarket with takeaway service, bars and restaurants, pizzerias and ice cream parlors, beauty salon and hairdresser. On Friday mornings in the center of Parghelia there is a food market where you can buy tasty local products while every morning there is a food market in Tropea. To reach the famous town of Tropea with its beautiful ancient historic center (in 2021 elected "Borgo dei borghi" the most beautiful in Italy), you can choose to walk along the beach below or use the main road that runs along the port and then go up the ancient stone steps, all in a time span of 10 to 15 minutes maximum.
Approximate distances: the next largest town: Parghelia 500 m; Tropea 1.5 Km. nearest restaurant: 200 m nearest grocery store / supermarket: 800 m Beach: 2 minutes from the private path inside the property; 10 minutes on foot to the first equipped lido in the Municipality of Tropea Lamezia Terme Airport: 60km, approx. 45 minutes by car Parghelia train station: 2 km

We had an incredible stay at this house. The place and property was stunning with great views and a variety of sitting / hangout areas. The property also has easy and safe access to a beautiful beach that is not nearly as busy as other beaches in the area. The hosts were truly sweet, helpful and caring people that were always looking out for us and navigating our stay in the area. I cannot say enough great things about the house but more importantly the people we me met along the way. I can’t wait to go back there again some day!

I had an excellent esperience with these joyful, resourceful canadian guests and their lovely children: enthusiastic about the place and the property, always respectful of the the house, inside and outside, and of its rules, very kind and outgoing people.They really made me a pleasure to take care of them and of their needs: I prefere taking care of my guests personally and I feel happy and satisfied any time I see they're happy not only for the beautiful place actually it is in here, but also because they feel looked after . It's always a great pleasure for me to meet new guests and I do hope to meet again these ones or people like them who understand and appreciate as well authenticity and elegance.

A parte alcuni eventi esterni non imputabili alla proprietà, tutto sommato è stato un buon soggiorno, l’ampio spazio e la comodità della dependance ha ospitato confortevolmente 2 famiglie. Sicuramente la posizione della casa è il punto di forza, da migliorare la pulizia ed inoltre dopo aver alloggiato in molteplici Ville in giro per l’Italia posso dire che sicuramente il rapporto qualità/prezzo è molto alto.

Casa la Salamander is a fabulous property in a wonderful location with stunning views. Lovely and spacious outdoor spaces with private and convenient access to a beautiful quiet beach.
Our feedback would relate to the marketing of the property which states 2153 three storey villa which is what we expected. What we got was actually the ground floor only (including three bedroom) and a two bedroomed annex. This was not clear from the information listed. Although there are a couple of photos of what turned out to be the annex - this was not clear until we arrived. The separate building created issues for my party so to avoid this going forward would be good idea to highlight this on the particulars.
Also, not all the bedroomS were made up and cleaned and we were renting a 5 bedroomed property so we’re confused by this . How we utilised them shouldn’t matter. Mr. checking us I did apologise for this and eventually supplied some linen but used tissues etc were found on the floor of the twin room in the annex. which was disappointing.
Once sorted out we had a wonderful time.
bene , forse sarebbe opportuno avere un impianto di serbatoi di acqua in quanto a Tropea capita spesso nel periodo estivo
che l’acqua viene razionata . Anche l’impianto di illuminazione esterna e interna va rivisto

Buona l'esperienza complessiva: ospiti affabili, con ospiti a loro volta durante il soggiorno nella villa.
Bene il rispetto delle le regole della casa, fatta eccezione per qualche mancanza rispetto agli impianti di condizionamento, a volte dimenticati inutilmente in funzione.
Purtroppo l'emergenza idrica quest'anno è arrivata a colpire in qualche modo e per la prima volta , anche la nostra realtà, fortunatamente con razionamento dell'acqua solo notturno .
Una villa bellissima con una vista mozzafiato in una zona molto intima ed esclusiva. Assieme ad un gruppo di 8 amici abbiamo trascorso 9 giorni indimenticabili ospiti della signora Paola e del signor Saverio. Comodissime le stanze in grado di ospitarci tutti senza problemi. Già dall'arrivo, grazie al panorama, abbiamo capito che avremmo trascorso una vacanza bellissima....e così è stato!! Oltre alla gentilezza e alle attenzioni di Paola, la casa ci ha regalato un confort unico; ampi spazi in cui mangiare tutti insieme sia all'interno sia fuori, fresche zone d'ombra dove godere di un libro o di una chiacchiera tra amici. Per gli amanti del mare è un'immersione totale nella bellezza di Tropea....basta scendere alcune rampe della villa per trovarsi in una spiaggia grande, poco frequentata, con tutti i confort e con un mare bellissimo, fresco e trasparente (Paola ci ha fornito di sdraio e ombrelloni per permetterci di stare al mare tutto il giorno). La sera, distante un paio di km, la bellissima Tropea piena di negozi e luoghi di ritrovo. Il momento più bello della giornata era al tramonto: la casa gode di una vista sul mare che ti lascia senza fiato vedere il sole tramontare e tuffarsi nel mare è diventato il nostro momento preferito e, al buio, godere della bellezza delle luci di Tropea e del porto.
Insomma una vacanza da sogno che abbiamo ancora nel cuore, il luogo è molto facile da raggiungere come è semplice raggiungere le località più interessanti nei dintorni.
Torneremo molto presto!
