Calabria
Calabria has 700 kilometres of parallel back-to-back coastline and mountains that rear up to the heights of the Pollino, Sila and Aspromonte massifs, which gives it an unusual range of products typical of a warm climate, such as limes, almost side by side with products typical of cooler mountainous climes.

Ristorante dell’Hotel Barbieri
Only 32 miles separate the Ionian coast from the Tyrrhenian coast at the narrowest section in Calabria, and there - midway on the route to Pollino Mount - Altomonte, a small town, embodies the appeal of the area: works of art and traditions. It is also worth mentioning the generous welcoming of the southern people and a clear-cut example is at Barbieri’s restaurant and the annexed hotel; in fact, reviewers state this place as the best in the region.

Ristorante Sabbia d’Oro
The Pollino Mount steeply slopes down to the Tyrrhenian Sea, where the Costa dei Cedri is positioned, thanks to its climate the best citrons grow here. Belvedere Marittimo is the main town; its name means ‘scenic lookout on the sea’! Even the restaurant here has an evocative name, “Sabbia d’Oro - Golden Sand”. It is family run: Palmiro, the father, provides the best ingredients; Anna, the mother, is in the back-of-the-house, Alessandro, Giuseppe, and Fabrizio, the children, warmly welcome guests.
