Capo Vaticano, the last strip of land before the Straits of Messina, thrusts dramatically from the sea, and is majestically enthroned in a turquoise sea and dominates the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands to the north-west, the Gulf of Lamezia Terme to the north-east, and the Gulf of Gioia Tauro to the south-west. Beyond Gioia, the Straits of Messina culminate with Mount Etna.

This part of Calabria, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, holds over one thousand years of fascinating history. Life in the Capo Vaticano area is dominated by fishing; its waters are visited by great swordfish, tuna, blue sharks and more, as they cross the Capo Vaticano every spring.

Choose your Calabria accommodation in Capo Vaticano, to be in one of the most fascinating places in the Province of Vibo Valentia, where the charm of almost completely unspoilt surroundings blends with an incredibly coloured and transparent sea and with coasts of rare beauty.
