Every apartment enjoys stunning views out to sea with the larger, town houses positioned carefully to take full advantage of the beautiful grounds and the resort's facilities. All are just metres away from the stylish La Torretta Beach Club bar and restaurant complex, serving up the dishes which have made Calabria famous the world over together with local wines and beers. The complex also boasts a luxurious spa with sauna and beauty salon too. A small on site supermarket caters for daily needs. The pretty grounds, dotted with palms, include a large central swimming pool for the use of all residents. a Torretta Beach Club, in the heart of beautiful, unspoilt Calabria in the deep south of Italy offers five star luxury on the shores of the tranquil, turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea. The 23 apartments and 2 town houses which will be built to the highest specification in traditional, southern Italian materials are set in landscaped grounds close to the beach amongst olive groves and citrus fruit orchards. Strict local planning controls ensure that the low level development adds to the very special character of the area. The five star La Torretta Beach Club takes its name from a local landmark, the distinctive Norman tower sits on a nearby headland. The Normans colonised the area in the Middle Ages on their way to the Crusades to the Holy Land but the history of the Coast of the Gods stretches back many more centuries. The area was home to the Greeks and Phoenicians long before the Romans conquered Calabria. These many, different cultures have left their mark on southern Italy, giving it the distinctive flavour it enjoys today. At Pizzo Calabro the mountains meet the sea and the views are simply beautiful across the Gulf of Lamezia Terme and include Stromboli, the landmark volcanic island. Just like Tropea, the town is noted for its fascinating long, narrow alleys, almost all linked to the lower part of the city by ancient staircases The city centre is dominated by the Aragonese Caste which was built in the 15th century and the beautiful Church of St Matrix George Martyr. The castle houses a charming museum which traces the city's often turbulent past! For those who like to shop, the town boasts shops selling typical Calabrian products and of course local souvenirs. Pizzo also boasts a large "balcony" looking out over the sea offering visitors panoramic views of the whole coast. La Piazza della Reppublica is the focal point of the city, both for tourists and for locals. It is surrounded by historic bars where it is a sheer pleasure to sit and savour the world as it goes on by whilst sampling the delicious local ice-cream: Il Tartufo di Pizzo. Without a doubt, Italy is the home of ice cream and Pizzo contributes to the world of gastronomy with the world famous Il Tartufo. This amazing chocolate ice cream with a zabaglione centre, so named because it suspiciously looks like a truffle, was first made in the town to honour the visit of Prince Umberto I of Savoy in 1943 and it is still served up today to much acclaim in the town's 16 gellateria or ice cream parlours. From the Square take the stairs to the Marina and enjoy a refreshing walk along the Promenade. A walk along the beach to the north of Pizzo is also a must. It takes the visitor to the Church of Piedigrotta. This was built into the granite hillside by shipwrecked Neapolitan sailors as an offering of thanks to the Virgin Mary for saving their lives. . ? 3,000 reservation fee (refundable) . 35% payment on signing of preliminary contract (less the ? 3,000 reservation fee) . 25% when main structure is built . 40% on completion, due for May 2011
