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.

The train station was only 60 meters south and reached via a 7 minute detour. Nice proximity to have for daytrips.

The property is expansive. As you can see, the pool is surrounded by lovely flora. This exotic tree had unique, orange-coloured blossoms. Anyone know what kind this is?

Having an outdoors, communal, home-cooked meal in Pentedatillo, while being serenaded by wild birdsong, will definitely be a highlight of your visit. Libellula may drop by (he is the dragonfly pictured earlier). Ask for wonderful Rosella or better yet, book a tour with Reggio-based guide Lorenzo Labate (see later).

For it was he, Tonino! He is the undisputed grandfather of all things gelato in Tropea. Ladies beware: he is also an unapologetic flirt. Husbands basically become invisible.

Ginevra's taxi-driver pal, Valerio, drove us from Tropea down through the pretty Gulf of Eufemia to Scilla for 120 euros. He highly recommended the local seafood.

This was a friendly customer beside us at Tropea's 'U Limunaru' granite stand. See the flavors on offer on the sign below: gelso/mulberry was our fave.

This friendly man was a senior Military Commander. He was also the groom awaiting his bride atop Tropea's famed sanctuary (more later). There was a gigantico cake being transported on foot then up the sanctuary's ancient zig-zag path. He had a magnificent ceremonial sabre: was it used to slice the cake?

This lady and her sister were Italian tourists visiting for a week. We chatted more than once. She recommended the restaurant Pinturicchio (pintew-reek-eeyoe). We finally went there one night and loved it!

This plucky teen recommended that we try the traditional Calabrian meat 'nduja' (en-doo-yah). Made in Calabria, both she and it.

These lads at Tropea's Shark Bay had a chat with us. When at first their ball had rolled onto my feet, I'd jokingly pretended to take it by plopping it into my shoulder bag without breaking stride. I told our Toronto FC soccer team had two talented Italian players: Insigne and Benedeschi. *The beachside snack menu there, and the one we saw earlier at Parghelia's Lido di Nonno, was similar to those across European and North American beaches: pop and fast food.

Show me someone who claims that garlic has no health benefits and I'll show you both the door. I included some in the recipe for what turned out to be the best meal that I've made for my wife Mrs Z in years: 'Pasta Tono di Lamarcia'. I created it for her mid-week.

A variety of zagara or citrus blankets Calabria. Their lovely smell is called 'zagarona'. It joins honeysuckle and roses in keeping the air fragrant.
