Location & what to see

La Meridiana is located in Tonicello, along one of the most picturesque stretches of the Costa degli Dei in the municipality of Ricadi. The property is situated in a quiet area of Tyrrhenian Calabria, characterised by sheer cliffs and sandy coves sloping into crystal-clear waters. Tonicello Beach is just 120 metres from the accommodation, easily reachable on foot via a short path within the property.

The location allows for easy exploration of the entire Capo Vaticano promontory and its immediate surroundings. Ricadi railway station is only 650 metres away, making it easy to travel along the Tyrrhenian line without a car. Continuing south, 1.9 km away, stand the Capo Vaticano Lighthouse and the panoramic Belvedere point, set at an altitude of about 100 metres above sea level. The famous Grotticelle Bay is less than 2 km away, while the historic centre and the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola in Tropea can be reached by traveling 11 km north. Lamezia Terme International Airport is the main airport in the area, located 45 km away.

During the summer season, the waters around the promontory offer ideal conditions for snorkeling, canoeing, scuba diving and boat trips to discover isolated coves such as Praia i Focu, accessible mainly by sea 1.7 km away. In spring and autumn, the hillside trails among olive groves and Mediterranean scrub offer opportunities for hiking or cycling, with routes providing panoramic views of the Aeolian Islands and the Strait of Messina.
