Le Castella: what to see
Le Castella is a seaside hamlet of Isola di Capo Rizzuto, famous for its Aragonese castle that seems to float on the sea. It is one of the most photographed spots on the Calabrian Ionian coast.
The Aragonese Castle
The castle stands on an islet linked to the mainland by a thin strip of land and can be visited during the tourist season.
At sunset the fortress is mirrored in the sea: the best moment for photos.
Beaches and sea
Golden sandy beaches and shallow waters surround the village, all within the Marine Protected Area.
Boat trips and snorkelling tours to the most scenic coves depart from the piers.
Eating and getting there
The village is full of restaurants serving fresh fish: ideal for a dinner by the sea.
From Residence Le Farfalle, Le Castella is about 8 km away, 15 minutes by car.
