Private Residences Revealed
Torre Galli
An 18th‑century farmhouse nestled in the hills above Tropea, Torre Galli is a refined rural residence that has retained its historic elegance. Once the agricultural heart of a noble estate, it now welcomes guests among antique furnishings, vine‑covered pergolas, citrus blossoms, and sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. A place suspended in time, where one can breathe in the true spirit of Calabria. After touring the property, enjoy a typical dinner and overnight stay at the manor.

Journey Storytelling
An enchanting itinerary through Calabria’s hidden heart, where noble residences, historic villages, archaeological sites, and breathtaking landscapes merge into an unforgettable experience.
Our journey begins among the hills above Tropea, where the authentic hospitality of Torre Galli opens the door to a story of aristocratic memory and rural grace.
From Amantea’s elegant architecture to Pizzo Calabro’s coastal magic; from Vibo Valentia’s ancient ruins to Tropea’s dramatic sea cliffs, every stop reveals a lesser‑known face of Calabria. Villas like Villa Zerbi and estates like Tenuta Acton Leporano provide not only architectural beauty but sensory experiences rooted in local flavors.
In the cradle of Magna Graecia, Locri Epizephiri evokes the grandeur of classical antiquity, while Gerace, with its cathedral and Casina Carbone, delights through its medieval charm and culinary tradition. The art of the past comes alive in Reggio Calabria with the Riace Bronzes, then merges with natural beauty in Scilla.
We close our journey with the visionary art of MuSaBa di Mammola, capping an exploration where time, culture, and beauty intertwine into one memorable adventure.
