- Eco-friendly farm site in rural Calabria, with sea views
- Gizzeria 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Lamezia Terme
- Wild-style camping with access to kitchen and bathroom facilities
It's all about immersing yourselves in the pure nature of the Calabrian countryside at Calabria Incontaminata. This property was once home to 'Nonno Giovanni’ and his farming operations, and it's now being reclaimed as a social farm that aims to revive agriculture here with a mix of traditional techniques and eco-sustainable approaches.
Part of that project involves opening the place up for wild-style camping experiences, with guests bedding down among natural landscapes of Mediterranean scrub, wildflower meadows, oak groves, and copses of cork and olive trees. The views by day are gorgeous, stretching over to the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia and Aeolian islands; by night, the lack of light pollution means you should be treated to some spectacular stargazing.
All guests are welcome here, whether you're travelling with kids, friends, dogs, your partner or just your own thoughts. Nonno Giovanni’s old farmhouse still remains, as does a former stable that’s been kitted out with a solar-powered kitchenette and a toilet, shower and sink fed by a rainwater collection tank. Drinking water is also available, and so is a barbecue area.
There’s a truly remote vibe at this site – one that should encourage you to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life – but the location is not completely cut off. In fact, it's in a rather lovely spot between the pretty towns of Gizzeria and Falerna (both about 10 minutes' drive), and with the Calabria coast a similar length of drive away for beach days and watersports.
