Praia Art Resort

Praia Art Resort is part of a beautiful Calabrian canvas. Backed by hills, dotted with myrtle and citrus trees, and facing a beautiful ocean scene, it makes a striking first impression. With their combination of authentic Mediterranean design and modern luxury touches, its villas sit perfectly in their natural surroundings. And because it’s poised between mountains and the sea, Praia Art is the ideal gateway to the Ionian Coast.

Inside, each space is crafted from local rustic materials, bringing a sense of the outside world in. Think bare wood and terracotta, exposed brick and mosaic tiles. Bathe in the natural light on your terrace or patio. Stroll to a sun-lounger by the outdoor pool. Then let the gentle call of cicadas welcome in the evening as you wander through the gardens, the sun setting over the ocean.

Classicists will be inspired by the myths and legends of Calabria, a part of Italy immersed in ancient Greek and Byzantine history. Explore the town of Crotone, with its cobblestone streets, 16th-century castle and fascinating archaeological museum. Gaze into sapphire depths from a glass-bottomed boat at the Le Castella Marine Reserve. Or for a scenic fix of a different kind, head to the town of Santa Severina and look out over the Neto valley.
