Stay at Villa Stella

Your home in Calabria

Today, I live in my aunt Stella’s house which has become Villa Stella in honour of all the women of my family who have been and are strong and influential souls, including my mother. The house has been refurbished and I have decided to open it to guests from all over the world to enjoy.
