The Mediterranean's new hot spot - Bella Calabria
Information about the properties


The coastline of Calabria, at Italy’s most southern mainland point, is the place where the Ionian Sea meets the Tyrrhenian Sea. A place of un-spoilt natural beauty, with miles of sandy beaches and stunning views inland to the Aspromonte mountain range and incredible views to Sicily, just a short ferry crossing away.  

This is an area so far undiscovered by the overseas property market

The properties we offer are exclusive OFF-PLAN, all are very close to the beach and all walking distance. Many are just a 2-3 minute stroll from the beach. All are in and around popular resort towns and close to all amenities; shops, bars, restaurants etc.

This is a wonderful opportunity for investors to buy in an area which is set for rapid growth over the next few years. Calabria is very much an emerging market but you are going to see this area more and more in the media over the coming months, so now is the time to buy here while prices are still low. Where else can you purchase beach front property in the Mediterranean for less than you would pay for a wooden beach hut in the UK.

These developments are suitable for all kinds of buyers; investors, holiday homes, rentals. If you have been looking for a home to buy in Italy, but are finding that some areas are just too expensive, then Calabria could be just the place for you.

An added benefit for some clients is the tax savings on these properties, there can be tax benefits, such as no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax, but this will depend very much upon your personal circumstances, you should consult your legal/financial representative for your Italian purchase to clarify this situation.

Properties can be reserved prior to visiting for approximately £2,000 (Euro 3,000). With an initial 50% deposit then nothing more to pay until completion, these are very affordable investments. There are many exciting new projects including villas and even a golf course development planned for the future.

The Calabria Region – Information about the area and locations

The main area where our Bella Calabria developments are located is around the coastal towns of Brancaleone, Bianco, Bovalino, Locri and Siderno along the Ionian Sea coastline. This is on the eastern side of Calabria. It is just a short drive around the coast to reach the main city from which the region is named, Reggio di Calabria. From here you have stunning views over the Straights of Messina to the mountains of Sicily; you can take a short ferry ride across the straights it takes just a few minutes.

Miles of beaches and promenades, contrasted by stunning mountain scenery and national parks

The area has a combination of long stretches of beach, where you can walk for miles and numerous quiet coves. Everywhere you look inland towards the hills and mountains you see hilltop towns and villages, such as Gerace with its 500 year old Cathedral, to explore. Art and architecture abounds, with evidence of a history dating back to pre-roman times, and as far back as the Greek communities who lived here then.

Indulge in the Italian passion – FOOD! Pasta, Pesche (fish) and Pastelleria

The food of the region is as diverse as the area itself, and such incredible value for money compared to other Mediterranean resort areas. Apart from all the fresh fish and seafood, the local wine is a well kept secret and very good, and you simply cannot miss your morning expresso or latte while you try one of their treats from the pastelleria counter.

Art and architecture, culture and history, discover - ancient hilltop village
