Casa indipendente in Cecco Pisani, 2, Belvedere Marittimo,

The Tyrrhenian coast is at the town, with a long beach and the sea immediately below the historic centre. The Coastal Range of north-west Calabria rises inland within a few kilometres, and the road climbs quickly from the shore into wooded hills. The lower Lao valley and the mountains of the Pollino massif are inland to the north-east, but outside the immediate coastal strip. Scalea is the nearest larger coastal centre for everyday services, and Paola is the nearest rail hub on this side of Calabria. Belvedere Marittimo is known locally for its old town on the slope above the sea and for the Castle of Belvedere in the historic centre.
