The sense of design both within and without will help make this villa a vacation unto itself.

La coppia Canadese e il mare. This entire trip was coastal, except for the obvious Rome part. In Tropea, beaches are almost always cliffside.

Ginevra's faithful dog Stella. Stella's husband (il cano negro Leon) constantly bugged us to share our wine with him. After we refused, he would often launch into unprintable parolaccia. We can't repeat what he swore.

I've been itching to display our Tropea rental Villa Bragho. The online photos do not do it justice - so we will. It was uncheap and could fairly be described as a splurge. Mrs Z and I had to save our coins.

What follows is a continued assortment of the villa's decor. There no caption labels. Those uninterested in arty decor might skip this and check out the following installment, which contains more Tropea plus FOOD.

Ginevra is one of those modest championship-level hosts. She will take care of you. One day, she arrived to gift us a whole bunch of various produce that her farmer neighbor had just yanked from the ground. Some of her Brit clients return annually.

Its location is just on the immediate periphery just south of town, which is about a 14 minutes walk into town and even less to the parking lot which hosts both the permanent plus the weekly farmers market. Shown here is the tunnel-arch that is right beside that lot.

Villa Bragho features not only the main house but also a wonderful annex. Both are shown here. We pity the people in search of a Tropea splurge who overlook this villa. Satisfaction guaranteed.

A view through the annex door. Mima the maid plus a professional gardener are part of the deal. You may also receive a visit from the local boar. He and I once came face-to-face during one of my twilight pool cleanings. He'd come scrounging on the periphery behind the lemon trees and olives. It was a Calabrian stand-off: he did not want to get eaten and I did not want to be gored - I'm funny that way. He eventually slinked away. One morn, we saw his muddy hoofprints high up on that right wall.

The annex also had a sizable side patio (not shown), large enough to host an event.

The view from one of the bedrooms. Overhanging is one of the several MASSIVE old cedar trees, a fairly unusual sight in Calabria. More common is the variety of cacti plus pine, both of which proliferate throughout villa Bragho.

Although we missed swimming season by a mere couple weeks, it was always a pleasant place to do, well, far niente. Quiet, private and remote enough.
