Informazioni su questa struttura

CLIFF HOUSE- Capo Vaticano

Questa proprietà offre l’opportunità unica di rinchidersi in un paradiso, lontano dalle folle, pur rimanendo a meno di un’ora da un aeroporto internazionale (SUF), a un quarto d’ora dalla splendida cittadina barocca di Tropea. a pochi minuti da negozi per fare la spesa, e a pochi minuti da piccoli ristoranti,

Arroccata in cima a una scogliera a strapiombo sul mare, sulla punta di Capo Vaticano, questa villa ha una posizione davvero unica su tutta la costa italiana. In un complesso recintato con soli tre proprietari che condividono la discesa privata a mare, questo pezzo del Capo è stato miracolosamente preservato dalla speculazione edilizia che ha distrutto la maggior parte delle nostre coste. Decenni di cure e attenzioni hanno trasformato una rupe arida in un’oasi di verde da cui lo spettacolo del mare e delle isole Eolie proprio di fronte è al tempo stesso un gioia fisica e un balsamo per l’anima. Il vulcano di Stromboli, direttamente a ovest, troneggia sul mare e offre tramonti spettacolari in tutte le stagioni dell’anno.

L’accesso privato alla spiaggia, a cui il resto del pubblico può arrivare solo dal mare o dagli scogli, rende la spiaggia molto riservata e mai sovraffollata neanche nel pieno dell’estate. A causa di alcuni scogli a fior d'acqua, motoscafi e gommoni non possono attraccare agevolmente, e si tengono quindi lontano dalla spiaggia. E per chi non avesse voglia di scendere i 400 scalini, la piscina a sfioro permette bellissimi bagni con vista del mare, Stromboli, e macchia mediterranea.

Wonderful location

We had a beautiful week, the location is amazing. 400 steps are quite an exercise to go down to the beach but worth the effort. Very welcoming host and staff.

Incredible stay at this gem

Incredible property perched above some of the most ruggedly beautiful coastline and blue water you’ll ever see. The host was very helpful and responsive, and the staff were wonderful. We had a great time with our family, hiking down to the beach, exploring the surrounding area, and watching sunset from the awe-inspiring front patio. The pool was awesome as well. The place is tucked back in a very charming gated community. We had an amazing two weeks, thank you, Alessandra!

Paradise in Calabria

A remarkable place with a fascinating history and breathtaking views. Staff were lovely. House very comfortable and the photos do not do it justice. Beach and the sea = a dream. Here's a tip if you are there over mid-August holidays: head down to the sea early morning, return before holiday boats arrive around 0930 and sun gets on the cliff OR opt for early evening after 1730. Excellent for snorkelling too. We hope to return.

Everything we had hoped for and then some...

We had the privilege to stay at this incredible villa during our visit to Italy. Alessandra is a wonderful hostess. She left no stone unturned when it came to setting the house up with all of the luxuries of home, plus some. From the moment we pulled up to the property, we were in awe. The grounds are very well maintained and the scenery beautiful. The house itself was amazing. The full size kitchen was equipped with everything a person could need. The adorable outdoor shower was, as Alessandra promised, one of our favorite features of the home. The best part though was the terrace -- the views of the sea with Mt. Stromboli looming can't be described. We felt bad that we did not spend more time exploring the area around Capo Vaticano but we just did not want to leave the property -- certainly there was nothing we could see that was more beautiful than the view from that terrace.

Een fantastisch mooie plek

Deze woning ligt op een fantastisch mooie plek. De woning voldoet aan alle wensen en het uitzicht is adembenemend. Inchecken en contact tussentijds is goed geregeld en vragen worden snel beantwoord. Thuis laten koken door Phillip is een echte aanrader. Naast dat hij erg lekker kookt, is het ook nog eens een zeer aardige man die niet om een praatje verlegen zit. Het strandje beneden is heerlijk en de trap er naar toe is even een uitdaging, maar is goed te doen met een aantal rustpauzes. De directe omgeving is niet veel bijzonders (buiten kleine supermarkt en pizza's) maar op een half uurtje rijden is er van alles te doen. Kortom: een heerlijke vakantie op een zeer bijzondere plek.

Un paradiso

É stata una bellissima vacanza, la proprietà è incredibilmente bella, non lussuosa, ma con stile. Il giardino curato con amore, la cucina attrezzatissima, la spiaggia e il mare mozzafiato, ai 400 gradini ci si abitua. Le cene sulla terrazza che ci hanno cucinato lo chef Philipp e sua moglie Antonia erano il puntino sulla i. La proprietaria ha risolto un piccolo problema tecnico in tempi brevissimi. Torneremo!

Calabria's most breath-taking view !

If you are the book-reading, nature-adoring, food-loving kind of person I have good news for you: this is it! The cliff house is as good as it gets. I don’t want to add much more since the preceding reviews covered it all except two things: COViD was not a problem at all. The Italians turned out to be far more disciplined in that regard than the Germans - wearing their mouth and nose cover (elegantly called mascherina) even on the street strolling down the corso in Tropea. All shops and restaurants were open and as long as you wore the mascherina and kept your distance it felt very safe and at the same time normal. Secondly we want to mention the wonderful evenings we were lucky to indulge in when Philip and Antonia cooked for us. Enjoying their cuisine on that more than wonderful veranda at a long table with family and friends was a definite highlight of our stay. We were seven guests of different ages and all of us loved it. We are counting the days to come back…

Wunderschöner Urlaub

Das Cliff-House ist ein absoluter Traum. Der Ausblick ist gigantisch und es ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Das Highlight ist natürlich der private Strand. Wir waren im August und die benachbarten Strände waren regelrecht überfüllt. Aber wir lagen teilweise sogar alleine am Strand. Die Treppen sind überhaupt kein Problem, sie sind betoniert und daher sehr einfach zu gehen. Vielen Dank an Alessandra für die hervorragende Betreuung. Immer wenn wir etwas benötigen war sie da. Wir kommen wieder. Rüdiger

We made some tours around the area and had a private chef preparing dinner a few times. In all it was a terrific week. Many thanks Alessandra for everything!

Spectacular

We had a wonderful stay at Cliff House. Alessandra was fantastic, helping to guide us from the airport to house and checking in with us after our arrival. The property was absolutely perfect. We were a group of 8 ranging in ages from 20's to 80's and everybody was comfortable and happy. The design of the house and landscape (beautiful flowers and trees) is perfect with little places to get away and relax in sun or shade and with ample space for large indoor or outdoor meals. Speaking of meals, we hired a couple that Alessandra recommended and they prepared two excellent dinners for us. I am still dreaming about the local tuna that we were served. The pool was very nice for those of us that are pool people but the beach was the showstopper - the water was warm and amazingly clear and the steps to and from the beach were much easier than we expected (though the older folks among us sat the beach excursions out). Tropea is an easy short drive away and there were some charming places within walking distance for provisions and pretty pottery. All in all the property and the region exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Alessandra!

Wonderful location

Our family (8 persons) travelled the first time to Calabria this August 2018 for two weeks and we fully enjoyed our stay at the Cliff House. Except one short thunderstorm on Sunday after our arrival we had nearly perfect weather conditions so that we could use the terrace for almost every breakfast, supper and dinner. The sight on the sea until Stromboli is overwhelming. The stairs to the beach first were a challenge, especially upstairs, but it was getting better day by day. On the second Sunday we did a day-trip to the Lipari Islands. Over all it was worth it although the sea was a bit wavy and so several passengers (including me) became a little seasick. But we saw dolphins and especially the stops at Volcano and Stromboli were quite impressive. We bought our foods only once in a big supermarket and then mainly by local producers and in local stores. That's how we got to know the surroundings. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Anna. We can imagine to come back to the Cliff House for a second stay, perhaps already in 2019. It's a phantastic location to leave the daily routine behind.

Spettacolare!

We had a wonderful week. The Cliff House was the perfect place for our family from all over to come together to swim, eat and relax together. Everything was so inviting, excellently appointed and just beautiful. Wonderful places to eat and play games in the villa, no matter the weather. The people of Capo Vaticano are so welcoming. The beach and sea both incredible, and worth the climb, up and down - we did it some days twice! The view and even the ‘weather watch’ was magical. It is a special place. Thank you, Alessandra, for being a fantastic host, and also to Anna, Cesare and Yuri for looking after us. One week was not enough.

L’acces privatif à la plage, la piscine à débordement, la terrasse avec couché de soleil sur le Stromboli , le BBQ géant et le salon font que cette maison a tout ce que l’on attend d’une maison de vacances en bord de mer.....La résidence est tellement agréable qu’il est difficile de quitter celle-ci pour visiter d’autres lieux.

Unmatched location - wonderful house with fantastic view

After having stayed at the "cliff house" last year we decided to come back every year. We enjoyed our time once again very much: a lovingly furnished interior, a fabulous pool for a swim and the mediterraian at your feet. This year we brought snorkel equipment for the first time and really loved the variety of fish swimming around in the incredibly clear waters. The combination of privacy, view, nature and architecture is a one in a million find. See you next year, Alessandra!

Wonderful house on a cliff with fantastic view!

The week we enjoyed at the Cliff House in Capo Vaticano surpassed all our expectations. The serene architecture complements the luxurious landscape. This arid, rural setting could not be more beautiful, with the house perched on a granite massif 80 meters above the Mediterranean Sea. We were absolutely astonished at the lush, glorious landscaping of the entire property, which contrasts with the dry, agricultural character of Calabria. The houses are lovingly constructed in a very sympathetic manner and one finds beautiful details throughout the house, from nautically-inspired door handles to lovely tiles bordering the both the indoor and outdoor kitchens. The houses have a rustic feel without resorting to imitation of historic devices, and because of their gracious proportions and robust construction, one can immediate relax in every room without exception. Despite the allure of these architectural charms, we found ourselves spending most our time at the Cliff House outdoors. The grounds are lovely, and there has been an enormous amount of thought put into how one could, in small or large groups, enjoy the natural splendor of the place. Furnishings are comfortable and grouped in ways that follow the path of the ever-present sun. Tables and seating are positioned in and around the building in a manner that allowed us to decide if we wanted to bask in the sunshine or lounge comfortably in the shade without ever having to move a chair. The pool is integrated into the landscape in a manner that allows a frolicking swim without disturbing others who may wish to relax in undisturbed quiet. Every table, chair, door and window feel as though they must always have been there, and this timeless character is due to the remarkable skills of the architect. Alessandra has anticipated nearly every question a visitor could ask, and sent pre-emptive answers to us in a very enjoyable document that helped us to understand and enjoy everything the house and the location has to offer. She is very organized and made sure that we were taken care of by Cesare and Anna.

Capo Vaticano Cliff House

Our family found the Cliff House to be just perfect for our week of vacation. It was a great place to refresh and reconnect with the family. We spent time at the beach and in the pool - mesmerized by the sunsets and views. The house was wonderful and provided a great place for the family to gather - inside or outside- - whether it was for eating, playing games or cards, or just talking - it was a perfect setting. The two cottages along with the main house provided a great balance of privacy and community space for each family. The kitchen was well equipped for the dinners that we prepared. The markets, local bakeries and restaurants all provided a taste of rural Italy... along with excellent wine. . I think what we appreciated most is that this was a home not just a house and the wonderful privilege of being able to stay in such a wonderful setting Thank you

Cliff House- Capo Vaticano

Our family stayed at the Cliff house in July of 2015 and had a wonderful time. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary while we stayed, and the local priest Don Pasquale came and delivered a memorable ceremony for us and our friends and family. The dinner on the patio was incredible and Anna, the housekeeper we hired to prepare the meal, was fabulous. The owner of the property Alessandra was a huge help in making our holiday and 10 year moment magical. Our children 4, 6 and 8 years of age loved the grounds, pool and the private beach was unbelievable. We would highly recommend this property for your vacation- the views second to none, the grounds and staff impeccable and the beach was absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely be back. Thank you Alessandra and all the staff for making our family vacation and 10 year anniversary unforgettable.

Perfection on the Calabrian Coast

We recently had the privilege of spending two wonderful weeks at Cliff House. As its name suggests, the house is literally on the edge of a cliff. As such, the views are beyond spectacular. Sunsets over Stromboli and the Aeolian islands never got old. When not at the beach or pool, spending time on the terrace enjoying the view was everyone's favorite activity. As noted by other guests, the house is not over-the-top, but it has everything (amenities, cooking utensils, dishwasher, laundry, A/C, etc.) one needs. At its heart it is a beach house; it is there to help you relax, which is exactly what it does. Staying at Cliff House helps you reconnect with nature, and the chaos and bustle of the world simply disappears. The beach below the house is beautiful, and well worth the trek down (and up) the 400+ stairs. Given it's remote location, on most days the beach was deserted. We spent hours snorkeling and exploring the various coves and rock formations in the area. On the rare day we didn't go to the beach, we spent the day floating in the fantastic pool, enjoying its sea views. Alessandra, our incredibly helpful and accommodating host, provided a very thorough overview of the area in the rental materials. Of her recommendations, we frequented the fish store, butcher (delicious rotisserie chickens), and market. We found that the fish store had the best selection of fresh fish at 7pm. We had a nice dinner at Donna Orsola, got coffees from Shaker Bar, and pizza from La Campagnola just down the street. La Porziuncola, a small market and ceramics store (also just down the street), has wonderful pottery and two delightful owners. Also, having Anna, the warm and lovely housekeeper, come by every few days was such a treat.

Perché ha scelto questa struttura

My husband started vacationing in this area in the early 1970's and grew attached to its breath-taking beauty, rich history, and unspoiled nature. Much has changed in the area since then, but within our enclave we were able to maintain the original character of the landscape, making this spot a truly special place on the Italian coast. Being so far South, the house is very enjoyable throughout the year. We don't consider this just a beach house- it's a wonderful getaway where in mid-January you can already enjoy seeing blooming almond trees and wild flowers.

Cosa rende unica questa struttura

The most unique aspect of this house is certainly its dramatic siting. On the Mediterranean, usually when you see buildings sited like ours, they are either lighthouses, Moorish towers, or religious buildings. A private residence perched on a cliff, and in a place that still offers it complete privacy and seclusion is not easy to find. Our closest neighbors are two families of hawks, and they are extremely discerning creatures...
