The Atmosphere

Riace Bronzes, strolls overlooking Sicily, and centuries of Magna Graecia, all just steps from your door.

National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria

The National Archaeological Museum (MArRC), located in the Piacentini Palace next to Piazza De Nava, is the city's most renowned attraction both in Italy and abroad. It houses the famous Riace Bronzes, two 5th-century BC Greek bronze sculptures recovered from the sea. The collection spans four themed levels, showcasing the history of Magna Graecia with pieces like the Pinakes of Locri, the Philosopher's Head, and the Kouros of Reggio. Open daily except Mondays, with continuous hours, it is just a short walk from your accommodation.

Reggio Calabria's Falcomatà Seafront

The Italo Falcomatà seafront, known as the 'Via Marina', was famously described by Gabriele D'Annunzio as 'the most beautiful kilometer in Italy'. It winds through lush, almost tropical gardens with views of the Strait of Messina, the nearby Sicily, and on clear days, Mount Etna. Along the promenade, you'll find Rabarama's sculptures, Edoardo Tresoldi's 'Opera' installation, remnants of Greek walls and Roman baths, as well as ice cream parlors, bars, and the lively Reggio nightlife at sunset. It's just a few minutes' walk from the accommodation.

Aragonese Castle of Reggio Calabria

A city landmark alongside the Bronzi, the Aragonese Castle boasts a central location, surrounded by its namesake square. Although its name suggests an Aragonese origin, the original structure was built by the Byzantines in the 6th century and later expanded by the Normans, Angevins, and Aragonese, who added the battlemented towers. Today, it is open to visitors and hosts exhibitions and events. From the top of its cylindrical towers, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the sea, the Strait, and the mountains. General admission is about 2 euros and it's just a short walk away.

Reggio Calabria Cathedral (Duomo)

The Basilica Cathedral of Maria Santissima Assunta in Cielo is the largest religious building in Calabria and is literally next to the accommodation, facing Piazza Duomo along Corso Garibaldi. Reconstructed after the earthquakes of 1783 and 1908, it features a style that reinterprets Romanesque and Gothic with a touch of Art Nouveau. It is renowned for its bright façade with a rose window, three bronze portals, and inside, the spectacular Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament (1539), one of the few examples of Baroque architecture in southern Calabria, declared a National Monument. Since 1978, it holds the status of a Minor Basilica.

Arena dello Stretto in Reggio Calabria

Located on the Lungomare, the Arena dello Stretto is an open-air amphitheater with classical inspiration, offering stunning views directly over the sea. Nearby, you'll find the Mausoleum dedicated to the warrior goddess Athena and the Monument to the Fallen. During the summer, it hosts concerts and performances as part of the 'Estate Reggina'. Year-round, it serves as a magnificent viewpoint over the Strait of Messina and the Sicilian coast. It's a natural stop during your stroll along Via Marina, just a few minutes from your accommodation.

Scilla and Chianalea on the Costa Viola

Approximately 25 km north of Reggio Calabria, Scilla is a gem of the province and a highly recommended excursion. Crowned by the Ruffo Castle perched on its rock, it boasts the picturesque fishing district of Chianalea, considered one of Italy's most beautiful villages, with houses that seem to rise from the water. This location is steeped in the myths of Scylla and Charybdis, as sung by Homer, offering views of the Strait, Sicily, and the smoking Stromboli. Renowned for its fresh seafood, it's the perfect spot for a day of sun, strolls, and fine dining.
