Cosenza

Cosenza is the largest of Calabria's provinces with deserted beaches set on a backdrop of the Sila Massif mountain range. Cosenza is often nicknamed 'Little Switzerland' its alpine climate creates a playground for camping, hiking, fishing and sailing. Climb up Mount Botte Donato through Europe's greatest forest wonderland for epic views of both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas or visit the church of San Domenico in the Sila mountain's which has paintings by Calabria's most famous impressionist artist Umberto Bocciono.
 
The provincial capital is the city of Cosenza, the largest as you head through northern Calabria. Approaching from the south gives you the most romantic view of the city dominated by the Norman Hohenstaufen castle perched high on the hill. Having been conquered and invaded by Normans, Romans, Greeks and the Spanish it's a wonder this historic city still presents some of the most beautiful baroque architecture, as English author George Gissing commented 'to call it picturesque is to use an inadequate word'. Now, Cosenza has become the most important commercial and agricultural centres of Calabria with the seat of the regions newest university on the outskirts of the city.

Fuscaldo

The beautiful old town of Fuscaldo known as ‘city of rock’ would rival any in Calabria. Typically picturesque with quaint shops and restaurants, the locals are extremely welcoming and amenable. Bursting with activity and holidaying Italians the ancient town carved from stone nestles at the foot of the Sila mountain range. You can spend lazy days lounging on the golden sandy beach or alternatively one hour's drive and you can be hiking or skiing in the mountains referred to as ‘little Switzerland’.

The name ‘Fuscaldo’ is connected to the hot thermal springs in the nearby town of Guardia Piemontese. Just one hour drive from Lamezia International Airport.
