Area Information
Badolato is nestled among olive, lemon, and orange trees on the coast of the Ionian Sea in Calabria, the region of Italy that comprises the toe of the boot. It is in the province of Catanzaro and approximately 45 km from the regional capital city of Catanzaro.
This picturesque, walled city sits 300 meters above sea level, and is located 6 kilometers from the Ionian Sea and its counterpart, Badolato Marina, which was constructed mainly in the 1950s when local residents decided that building on the sea was safe. A drive to the beach from Badolato"s mountaintop perch takes between five and ten minutes, depending on how well you can negotiate the curvy roads while taking in all the wondrous scenery.
Badolato is uniquely situated with spectacular views of both the sea and the mountains. Badolato"s region, Calabria, enjoys both high mountains and the cleanest beaches in Italy, having avoided the pollution and overcrowding of tourist destinations elsewhere. In Badolato, you can discover the real Italy, while strolling its narrow, winding streets among the locals who will always greet you with a friendly smile and, if you"re lucky, a trip into their cantinas for some homemade wine, cheeses, and meats.
The closest airport to Badolato is Lamezia Terme International, located approximately an hour"s drive away. Badolato is also reachable via Italy"s Trenitalia system from Rome (650 km), Milan (1200 km), and Naples (450 km).
A private bus service runs from Badolato"s Piazza Castello to Soverato, a nearby resort town full of restaurants and pizzerias, and over 100 stores for shopping for food, wine, clothing, jewelry, shoes, and souvenirs.
