With its mild winter temperatures and hot summers Calabria is one of the best places to stay at any time of the year. Located in the tip of the 'boot' of Italy the region offers pristine beaches, rustic charms, a friendly atmosphere and some uniquely spectacular countryside. Calabria also has some impressive Greek and Byzantine ruins and charming hilltop towns and fishing villages. Calabria is relatively quiet and inexpensive when it comes to visitors, so you’ll probably be surprised how reasonably priced the best places to stay in Calabria are.
Relatively undeveloped tourist infrastructure here probably has a lot to do with recent earthquakes, the region’s Mafia connections and its history of poverty but don't let that put you off visiting this wonderful region.
Calabria’s interior is largely under the umbrella of three relatively unexplored national parks. So this is a great option if you want to visit somewhere which feels a bit edgy, but you don’t want to leave Europe.
The summer months will be busier however, so if you want to book into one of the best places to stay in Calabria, get organised and plan ahead.
