WELCOME to VILLA DI ANGELA.
Villa di Angela is a little corner of paradise overlooking the island of Cirella near Diamante, a famous and stunning Mediterranean village on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, specifically on the Riviera dei Cedri. Much of the coastline features wide beaches, though it often becomes rugged, with many caves opening right at the water’s edge.
Villa di Angela is graced by a spacious, lush, and picturesque 600-square-meter garden featuring hibiscus, bougainvillea, agaves, and centuries-old olive trees, where the greenery meets the blue of the sea and sky. Here you can witness some of the most beautiful and evocative sunsets in the world, making your evenings unforgettable.
The ideal place for those who want to enjoy a holiday surrounded by nature, good food, the sea, and relaxation.
The villa is just 400 metres from the sea. The coastline offers great variety: sandy beaches, pebbles and sand, cliffs, coves, and volcanic rocks.
Here you’ll find numerous quaint little restaurants overlooking the sea, ready to delight you with their local culinary specialities.
Villa di Angela is laid out over two floors: the ground floor features a kitchen, an open-concept living room, a bathroom, and a guest room.
Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, and one suite with a private bathroom entirely tiled in blue Bisazza, as well as a large terrace—a sun deck with a bougainvillea-covered pergola—from which you can enjoy a splendid view of the sea to the west and a view of the ruins of ancient Cirella on the nearby hill to the north.
The ground-floor living room opens onto a spacious veranda overlooking the beautiful garden, featuring a well-manicured lawn with agaves, rocks, and flowers. The veranda wraps around three sides of the villa, where there is a convenient built-in outdoor kitchen with a cooktop and barbecue; just a few metres away is a comfortable and elegant outdoor shower. The villa includes access to a large, panoramic communal swimming pool—a full 25 metres long—which is reached via a very short private path. All this is enjoyed safely thanks to the lifeguard service.
