Heavenly Bianco
In the sun-drenched south of Italy the tiny coastal resort of Bianco is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Bianco delivers the true taste of Italy, flavours of a colourful past reflected in street parades and parties. There are spectacular wine festivals, open air theatres and celebrations of the natural world. All our properties are within walking distance of the town, by the beach and surrounded by picturesque woodlands. This is peace and tranquillity, with some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole of Italy.
Bianco and the neighbouring town of Bovalino both have a good selection of bars, cafes and restaurants. For a traditional dining experience there are Italian trattorias or pizzerias, while keen cooks will find that Bianco has the finest ingredients imaginable, available from well stocked supermarkets and stores. Calabrese cuisine includes a wide variety of colourful vegetables (this is one of Italy's main agricultural centres) so vegetarians will not be disappointed. The town has a chemist, beauty salons, an internet café, boutiques, butchers, and a delicatessen. Bianco is a wine making area and Greco di Bianco wines are famous all over Italy. Bovalino has a wider selection of restaurants, shops and bars, including a new shopping centre. As could be expected, seafood is a speciality in both towns. The area is also famous for sweet treats, or as they are known locally, i dolci. There are medical centres, post offices and banking facilities in Bianco and Bovalino.
Reggio Di Calabria
The capital of the province, with its position on the straits of Messina facing Sicily and the stunning snow capped peak of Mount Etna, is an elegant and dynamic place to spend time. It is from there you can get cheap regular ferries to Sicily, to go Scuba diving and visit some of the most breathtaking archaeological museums in Italy. Driving from Reggio di Calabria to Bianco takes just over an hour.
