Live the dream:  Surrender to the pleasures of a seven-night stay at a chic villa in Calabria (at the tip of the toe).  This high-design house offers two bedrooms, a modern kitchen and room for lounging.  You will be greeted by a welcome basket at the Villa, but you won't want to stay inside for long.  Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean and just one hour from Sicily, the house is the perfect base from which to experience the pleasures of the southern Italian countryside.  Package includes a Calabria Cooking Class and a visit to the owner's family's olive orchards and olive mill nearby. This is a charming townhouse in the small seaside port village of Gioia Tauro, 1 kilometer from the seafront.  It is equipped with an outdoor shower, barbecue and storage space for beach gear and rental bikes.  In walking distance to the train and bus station as well as restaurants and shopping.  The Villetta is handicap accessible (first floor).  Visit their extensive photo gallery and power point presentation:  www.villettamimmavittoria.com.  Read about what past clients have written about the Villa in their guestbook:  www.rentors.org/guestbook.cfm?pid=18608
