Viale Cassiodoro, 57, Squillace

The cluster is on the Ionian side of Calabria between the lower hills and the Gulf of Squillace. The Serre Calabresi rise inland to the west, giving the area a hill-to-mountain backdrop within this radius. The coast near Soverato and Montepaone has long sandy beaches on the Ionian Sea. Soverato is the nearest town of size, with a seafront, marina, rail station and everyday services. Catanzaro lies farther north and matters more for work and higher-level services than for the immediate landscape. This stretch of coast is known for beach tourism and for olive groves and mixed Mediterranean agriculture on the inland slopes.
