Notes on accommodation
Villa Jenna, completed in April 2008, is child-friendly and features a spacious living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen and utility room, with 3 bedrooms and three bathrooms over two floors. The villa terraces, on both floors, are off the dining room, living room and two of the bedrooms and have stunning beach and sea views. The villa is fully air-conditioned and has the benefit of central heating and an open fire if needed in the winter. The villa is equipped with smoke detectors, fire extinguisher and fire blanket for your safety.

Internet access via Wi-fi is on order and will be available for Guest's use once the local telecom company provides a line etc.

Outside
Directly outside the villa there are ample seating areas on two large terraces, where you can soak up the sun or take a rest away from the midday sun. The private landscaped gardens are bathed in sunshine all day long and within the gardens there are a variety of Mediterranean trees, shrubs and flowers. A purpose built barbecue area is provided, an ideal place to cook some of the fresh local produce available in the area. When the sun has made life a little too warm there is an outdoor shower where you can cool down ahead of that evening drink out on the balcony watching the sun set over the island of Stromboli.

Coast/Beach
Zambrone Marina is the nearest of many beaches in the area and is only two minutes away by car. Here you will find plenty of free parking. Beyond the promenade the long white sandy beach leads down to the blue-green ocean with rocky coves and picturesque cliffs. The beaches in this area are remarkable in that plenty of space is always available even in the peak season. Boats, pedalos and jet skis are available for hire in the summer season. There are a number of bars and restaurants.

Golf
Villa Feudo Montalto Golf Club has a nine hole course and is approximately a 30 minute drive away, where restaurant, bar and swimming pool facilities are available.

Two sets of golf clubs are left at the villa for guest's use if required

Travel
Zambrone is around 50km and 40 minutes from the airport of Lamezia, with direct flights from many international destinations, including Stansted in the UK. Also there are internal flights from Rome, Milan and Pisa, providing international links to and from other airports.
The rail links within Italy are both cheap and reliable, enabling travel to and from Naples, Rome and beyond. These link up with the local network, which runs along the coast down to Reggio di Calabria and onwards to Sicily.

Distances
The town of Zambrone is a 3 minute drive and within a 10 minute drive can be found the ancient town of Tropea, without doubt the prettiest town on Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast. Travelling south along the coast you meet Capo Vaticano and onwards to Scilla, Reggio di Calabria and the ferry to Sicily in just over 2 hours. Going north on the coast you pass through Briatico and on to Pizzo, which is around 20 minutes away. Through Lamezia you can reach Sila National Park with its winter ski resorts.

Further details
The local area is mainly served by the town of Zambrone, which has a variety of shops where all of your daily requirements can be met, whether it be fresh produce or cash from the ATM. Along the coast there are many towns and villages all with their own range and variety of shops, serving the freshest of fruit and vegetables, together with local wines and delicacies such as the spicy salami known as nduja.
As you would expect there are many, bars, restaurants and gelaterias all offering tremendous value as your euro goes a lot further here than the rest of Italy.
10 minutes south is Tropea, the main town of the area is built on the top of a cliff and from many of the vantage points you can look out and see the active volcano on the isand of Stromboli. There are several beaches and a port from where you can take a day trip around the Aeolean islands. Take time and study the narrow cobbled lined streets, sit out on the pavement of one of the many bars and watch as the locals take their evening passeggiata. You may be able to listen to one of the many outside concerts held in the squares including the jazz festival held every September.
Should you wish to combine a beach and sailing holiday then Sunsail start their operation in the port of Tropea from summer 2008.
Inland the interior of Calabria is dominated by the Sila and the Aspromonte National Parks. Here you can see beautiful lakes and luscious forests in which there are wolves, golden eagles, eagle owls and the rare Bonelli’s eagle. Take a visit and experience small villages with the local women still dressed in their black traditional clothes. Visit the area around San Giovanni in the winter and you could find full skiing facilities.

Guest comments
I cannot thank you enough! Our holiday was absolutely lovely!! We really enjoyed your villa and all the creature comforts it affords. Many thanks again and best to you, Gretchen Borda
We are leaving for Lipari from Tropea port at 7am tomorrow morning. We have had a wonderful time and I must say the villa has surpassed our expectations in every way. We have noticed every little attention to detail and think that yourself and Jenny have done a fantastic job. Richard.
