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 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 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.

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.

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.

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).

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?

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

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 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.

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.
