Diamante and Belvedere are situated in the picture perfect region of Calabria with great weather all year around and an array of Italy's most stunning beaches. The apartment sits between both these delightful towns. Diamante is a historical fishing village situated on a rock full of rustic charm, a pretty and popular beach resort with excellent facilities to eat, drink and shop. One of the many festivals during the Summer is the Chilli Pepper Festival, the hottest event in September. Belvedere features magnificent beaches with a selection of shops and restaurants in the marina area. These scenes are richly complemented by the backdrop of the old town with its dramatic castle and historic church, small square with local cafe bars and restaurants. Truly stunning views. This is a great location to explore the neighbouring towns and villages with their local markets full of regional produce. Very atmospheric, very Italian.
