We are Bas & Janny. We already had a holiday home here and it was wonderful to enjoy it there in the early and late season; de-stress and unwind.
After pre-retirement, we settled there permanently and even built something new. Reason: culture, lifestyle, climate and freedom.
During 2003/2006 we built our new building.
We are now continuously approachable from our home and do our best to make it as pleasant as possible for the guests.

Explanation of prices

Given the distance to this south, it will sporadically happen that people want to book a midweek or something. Nevertheless, that could be the case and we are prepared (except July and August) to apply a daily calculation.
If a full month is rented, a discount of approximately 10% is given. Monthly prices are available on request.
As soon as the tenant makes a final booking via Micazu, he will receive a rental agreement by e-mail. In it the request to complete that agreement in full and then email it back, but also the request to transfer half of the rent to the specified bank account.
The completed agreement is printed, provided with our original signature and sent by post to the tenant. In this way, the tenant has a written and legal document of the axis rent in his hands.
The other half of the rent must be paid upon arrival, after the inspection of the apartment to be rented.

Additional information

We are Bastiaan and Janny, but in this Italian south we are addressed as Bastiano and Janine. In 1990 we had purchased a holiday accommodation here and we liked it very much. The international activities gave us the opportunity to enjoy this early and late season for a month twice a year; de-stress or unwind. After my (Bas) pre-retirement in 2001, we decided to settle here permanently. There were several reasons for this, but mainly the culture, lifestyle, climate, freedom, plus the farewell to the so-called normal and compelling stress in the Netherlands, have tempted us to make that choice. Because our holiday accommodation here was a bit too small for a permanent stay - with the visit of the family and or friends - and not so comfortable in the winter -because of the little insulated building style-, we quickly decided to have something new. to build. We were able to purchase a site opposite our holiday home, because the owner's daughter was getting married and the father needed money. Yes, in this southern Italian culture a wedding still costs a few annual salaries. The new building started in 2001 and at the beginning of 2003 we moved into our new building. After that, the rest came about step by step. That did not go without a hitch and during that period we not only had a quick follow-up course in Italian, but also got to know most of the (construction) tricks. Everything was completed in 2006 and the current accommodations consist of half a villa for ourselves, half a villa and two apartments for rent. At the moment only one apartment is visible on the Micazu site. Oh yes, why is our building called Casa Bahati. Well, Bahati in Swahili means 'the lucky one'. Because we feel happy with our health and the wonderful Italian circumstances, this name was therefore obvious. Finally; we also live on the complex, so we are always available. We will do our utmost to make the guests' holiday as pleasant as possible.

As a Dutchman "southern Italia;" hear, that area is usually compared to something unkind. To be sure, we went to have a look there in 1987. We did not find any negative impressions at all and thought it was a wonderful area to relax or unwind. The most striking was the tranquility and hospitality that every Calabrese possesses and exudes. We have visited the area several times and we fell under the spell of the climate, sun, sea, fresh fish, mostly unsprayed fruit and vegetables, but also the delicious and typical dishes of the extensive Calabrese cuisine. Easily written, but please give an example. Well, if you walk past a fruit shop here, or through the market in Crotone, you can really smell the fruit and certain vegetables. Another example. If you go snorkeling here, it gives you extra relaxation because you can easily see up to 15 meters under water and you also see the fish and seabed vegetation. If you visit a good acquaintance or friend here, you should try some homemade salami and taste at least 1 glass of wine from the house. If close acquaintances, neighbors or friends slaughter around December (many people have their own pig and/or calf), they will also bring us meat. After all, they know that we don't have cattle, so we don't slaughter them either, and they think we should also enjoy their slaughter. There is no stress in this area and everyone has time for everyone. Everyone also respects the other. Very high on the agenda of the Calabrees is "live and let live" and that culture will probably never disappear again !!! Another fun thing. Life here is cheaper than in the north of Italy and the Netherlands; nice to have, right........ Are there no disadvantages?? Yes, certainly in the beginning. In the Netherlands we were used to fulfilling agreements and also at the right time. Well, that's hardly ever the case here. They sometimes keep to the agreements, but a little later. Bas has long been used to this and walks the Calabrian way; Janny still has a hard time getting used to that. For someone who is still working, this is a beautiful environment to enjoy the sun, sea, snorkeling and / or diving. It's wonderful to take a refreshing and relaxing walk to the beach and the sea, put a towel under your arm and take a dip. For enthusiasts, a formal naturist beach is a short distance away. For a change, the forests and mountains of Sila are also a form of relaxation, but partly due to the so-called rural tranquility, it is a great environment near our hideaway to relax, finally read a book in peace and come to your senses again . For (early) retirees, like we were, it is here to enjoy the sun, sea, peace and nature every day. Really, Calabria is recommendable !!!!

Although an impression has already been given in these short descriptions, perhaps a few additions. If you decide to visit our holiday residence in Capo Rizzuto, in Calabria, you will find an apartment of approx. 100 m2, which was built in 2003 and therefore has almost new equipment. The apartment is comparable to a penthouse, has 3 double bedrooms, a spacious bathroom and a spacious living room / kitchen. On the south side (sea side) is a terrace of approx. 65 m2, with a wide view over the Mediterranean Sea. There you can also sunbathe, eat, BBQ or just relax and read the newspaper or a book, or else just check your mailbox. On the north side is a covered terrace of approx. 18 m2. The patio furniture is of course sufficiently available. The apartment contains everything you normally have at home for daily living, such as a fully equipped kitchen. So you don't need to bring sheets, towels, etc. with you. Two bedrooms have spacious double beds and 1 bedroom has 2 single beds; these can be fitted into a double bed. If desired, there are even buggies, cots and high chairs available. There is a TV, radio/CD and internet connection in the apartment (even WiFi); a washing machine for shared use is in the garage. If you come by car, there is a parking space on our own enclosed grounds. There are bicycles available to buy a nice warm bread or an ice cream in the village. The children may (under your supervision) use the children's pool on the lower terrace, if there is interest and there is sufficient water supply from the municipality.

Those who have made the long trip to visit Calabria, will probably come not just to lie on the beach all day. Perhaps the environment is viewed, visited the expansive National Park Sila, and / or investigated a large number of historical sites. 'Diverse needs, we would like to contribute positively.

For a pleasant stay on the beach, which is only 5 minutes walk, we include some snorkeling attributes, two diving suits, a surfboard, parasols and bocce for the enthusiast. For the little ones we have typical beach toys. If large beach towels are desired, guests need to bring their own.

To alternate the sea with other sports things, can walk well in this environment. Inland, the terrain quickly becomes hilly, so a bike ride can also be very pleasant. An intermediate solution could be rollerskate; We have here three pairs (different sizes) available.

Within walking distance of Casa Bahati is a riding with many beautiful and good horses. Less hot hours can thus be driven out of the stables and in this way can also relax the immediate area to be explored.

For visiting markets, other places or cities, or the National Park, please read the "detailed descriptions" it away.

If tired of the hustle and effort of the day and not feel like something to eat outdoors, Casa Bahati provides an excellent opportunity to stay "home" and yet retain the holiday feeling. All resources are available to cook something delicious, get pizza or bbq, and consume it on the roof. There prevails in the evening and nighttime serenity, far away from the noise in the village, sometimes interspersed with some festive fireworks in the area.

Calabria is by mass tourism fortunately not yet discovered. It starts already at the north-west, eg at Tropea and surroundings, but that is more name than deed, and unfortunately these are the negative factors already evident. This south-east of Calabria has virtually no international tourism, at most about 10% on the naturist campsite and beach of Pizzo Greco, not far away.

Due to the absence of mass tourism, the population is still authentic. That means they still be themselves and open to all who come their way. They continue to hold their Calabrian culture, because by that tourism is not clouded.

The Calabrees is friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Partly because it is very easy to make contact with the population. This applies not only to us, as villagers of Capo Rizzuto, but also for so-called strangers.

We have seen that one of our (Dutch) tenants road and direction was completely lost in the main village Isola Capo Rizzuto (here 5 km away) and tried to explain to someone from that village. After telephone contact concerning our address, which has villager our tenant drove to our house; obviously free ..................

Ask them a question and they will, possibly with the entire family met, the question as fully as possible, with or without demonstrable examples. On the so-called country may simply be associated with and glass of wine and a piece of salami, all natural home made ...................

Nice huh .......................

The climate here is - by Dutch standards - can not be distinguished in the 4 seasons. The short spring is early April to late May, with occasional rain and temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees.
Summer is from early June until mid-October (25-32 degrees), with peaks of heat sometimes 35 degrees in July and August.
In early November to late March are autumnal moments, with some wind and not too much rain.
The so-called "winter" average daytime temperatures range between 10 and 16 degrees. It may be in January and February, sometimes a single week slightly lower, but there are more weeks it even higher.

Typically, the so-called autumn weather can last one day, but rarely longer than 3 days. Then the sun shines like crazy. It is only 1 or 2 times a year for which the maximum about 10 days druilt. It never freezes here and there as once (1x approx. 25 yrs) a little snow falls, everyone is free from work and school.

This description is no overview of the average temperatures from the past, because that means nothing about the coming year. After all, we now know the saying: "results in the past ............... etc.
We have now a nice network and good contacts with people who mean something. However, with the weather gods that does not quite succeed, so we can not promise anything about the weather.

Nature here is unspoiled. On the one hand and arm "no money" to Calabria further develop, but the other very rich in its natural authenticity. On the coast and inland, the craggy rocks (Sila) the large hills or small mountains (maximum altitude 1900 meters) which includes the stray wild horses. That is where you can still walk around for hours without seeing anyone or anything. Is that good or not ................................

For us this excellent conditions, but for the agricultural sector in Calabria less. After all, if it rains so little, it's not beneficial to the fruit and vegetables. In the summer, sprayed with the water in the mountains of Sila is stored (rainwater) and through a pipeline system is distributed throughout Calabria.
Because it is not always sufficient water is available, then it is most necessary land sprayed. The rest of the landscape do not see why the tourists in the summer only a yellow and barren landscape.

There are summers, such as in 2008, that there is a lack of water is large, and thus also the population, since the problems of experiencing. I.e. that one day does not receive water, but during the night a small trickle.
The lessons learned from the past, we have our new building provided a large water reservoir, allowing our guests and ourselves will have no water problem.

During the holidays is fun sometimes divided into sessions, either a half day sea and beach and half a day to look somewhere either on the market. This can also here.

From mid July to late August in our village in the evening a number of stalls selling anything and everything. That's more fun than anything valuable is sold, a real summer vacation so little market.

A more extensive and serious market is in the main village Isola (5 km), length approx. 500 meters. This is only on the 2nd Monday of the month.
The same type of market you will find in the surrounding villages and offers nothing new if you already have seen one or two.

However, in the center of Crotone (20 km), every day morning a large and extensive market. Since everything is fresh and fresh from this region, such as vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, spices and other specialties. Of course there are also stalls including clothing, shoes (real leather), kitchenware, CDs / DVDs and the like.
Both on the market at the harbor there are the necessary stalls with fresh fish.
Moreover, the extensive selection of fresh fish you should preferably before 10.00 am (or even earlier) and you should not buy on a Sunday or Monday (can not be fresh, because during the weekend is not fishing).

An early visit to the market in Crotone would also be an opportunity for us to visit the relatively small center, the historic center (of founder and resident Crotonees Pitagoras) and stores / shops in abundance. In the south, smaller businesses have a right to exist and that makes life here more pleasant and more atmosphere.

HINTS the festivities, the holiday season in this region from mid July to late August. Shortly before that period, the daily festivities for young and old, each year. What the program does the following year, by the city until early July of each year and announced.
Normally this includes performances by famous Italian singers / vocalists, dance groups, performances of folklore groups, dinner parties (sagra) with specific Italian dishes and the like. These include the familiar stalls of-all-and-more-what usually ends with a good dose of fireworks.

The solid ingredients of the festivities in July and August are still the common game on the nearby beach, the markets in the village and folklore performances in the village or nearby. Maybe not directly as a festivity to complain, but for the "young youth" there are several daily game on the beach.
There is also outdoor disco and dancing are in the vicinity. All this in 2 to 4 km away, so for this bike, car or elevator.

The apartment is an overview of the festivities as much as possible up to date.

Regardless of the other informal meetings, we organize every year an evening with all the tenants together to eat. That is on the Italian holiday of August 15. We hold that same evening with food, drinks, music, BBQ and so all tenants can mingle on the terrace. Each year proves to be a nice event where dancing is usually spontaneous and new friendships are closed.

There is a lot to write about this, because the dining options in this region are not only excellent, but also plentiful. There are plenty of pizzerias and a multitude of restaurants, but which are now the best. That depends in the first instance on individual taste, but certainly also on the choice “will it be meat or fish”. Because this region is excellent with regard to fresh fish, the average restaurant unfortunately pays little attention to the meat. Although there is only one restaurant here for a really good piece of meat, the bbq at Casa Bahati could offer a good alternative outcome. In recent years we have tried almost all restaurants (per restaurant at least 2 times) and have therefore not taken any chances to go out for a nice meal ourselves, but also to be able to give well-founded advice to our guests. For example - in our opinion - the best fish restaurant is “L' Ancora” at the tip of Capo Rizzuto (possibly check their website www.ristorantelancora.it The best pizzeria is “Mare Chiaro” in the center of Capo Rizzuto and the best meat restaurant is “ Pagus" in Isola Capo Rizzuto. Although partly dependent on what is eaten and drunk, an extensive meal ((rich entre, (pasta) starter, plus main course, including wine / soft drink)) costs approx. € 30 to € A pizza (pick up) costs about € 8. It would take too long to list all pizzerias and restaurants here, but in the apartment there is a list of the better pizzerias, meat and fish restaurants, including the telephone numbers to eat there or to make a reservation (necessary in August) Bas & Janny are always available to advise and, if desired, to make a reservation there.

There are many places in Calabria that are worth a visit. These can be divided in half or full day. For example, a half day can be spent on:

- Capo Rizzuto (1 km), with the aquarium in which the flora and fauna of the (protected) sea is shown;

- Le Castella (10 km) with the sea in Aragonese castle and departure point for various trips, cozy village;

- Santa Severina (35 km) above the village on the mountain that towers over the landscape, with its fortress and castle Carafa, cozy town square and magnificent views across the province;

- Crotone (20 km) Pitagoras of the city, with its markets, ports, historic center, Carlo V Castle, National Museum, long promenade, museums, etc.;

- Capo Colonna (15 km), archaeological highlight, with its excavations, Torre Nao and temple of Hera Lacinia;

- For all a bit in the mood of this area to come and more to learn about the protected area of ??this sea, look at www.riservamarinacaporizzuto.it (Italian and English).

The entire vacation could be spent on day trips, as in Calabria lots of fun and picturesque towns have. A pair or:

- Crotone, the city where you could spend several days if you love shopping, markets and visiting historical places;

- Sila National Park, the expansive (forest) area in the heart of Calabria, with mountains up to 1,800 mt. height and where you can walk for hours without meeting anyone. In these wild lands Palumbosila the village and the adjacent Lake Ampollino (1,500 mt. Height) is almost a must to visit. Incidentally and wonderful place to picnic. Sila in this area are numerous picturesque places, it is also generally cooler than the coast, and find something for everyone;

- Rossano, with its Acquapark "Odissea 2000" might be a pleasant change from the sea for the children. This place is approx. 125 km. but to know whether that distance is worth it, just look at: www.odissea2000.it

For those who want to have a nice treat (it's still not true holiday) can always go to Beauty Farm Casa Rossa in Crotone (20 km). This pleasant care and / or relaxation is possible for several hours, one day or several days. If you are interested, please visit www.casarossa.it

The journey here can be undertaken in several ways. The most comfortable is usually also the most expensive. A lot depends on the period of the year, how many people are involved and where the holiday will start. Is that on departure at home, or only on arrival in Calabria. To sketch some ideas with proportions in comfort and price tag, the following: - With a luxury coach from the Netherlands is quite cheap, but a seat of approx. 40 hours is an attack on the buttocks; - With the (night) train it is slightly more expensive, but does not really save that much time compared to the journey with a coach or with your own car; - By plane seems the most obvious, but that also depends on the number of people and the type of own transport. It is true that flying is cheaper, but there is a car rental on site. From mid-April to mid-October there are direct flights from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to Lamezia Terme (approx. 100 km from here). Some flights are scheduled flights and others are charters. Flying directly to Crotone (approx. 10 km from here) is also an option. In short, the internet and Google always provide many options for your situation. If you also want to enjoy the nature and landscape by car, then do the journey in 2 to 3 days. If desired, we do have advice for the route and sleeping place(s) en route; Anyway, there are several options, but that depends entirely on the wishes of the guests. If we know them and if we are asked for advice, we will certainly and specifically give it. Oh yes, if the journey is done by car, remember not to “just” make a hand gesture to an Italian fellow road user. If you are not familiar with the hand gestures in Italy, misuse can lead to very unpleasant consequences.

Although only 1 apartment is published on this Micazu site, we still have a 2nd apartment and half a villa for rent. The 2nd apartment has the same surface area but so-called mirror image (see map). The half villa (165 m2 mt.) is suitable and equipped for max. 10 people. If you are with more than 6 people, or a larger group, you can choose the villa. If the group/family is even larger, it is possible to rent both apartments and the villa. In these cases, a discount of 10% is given on the total rental amount. With the exception of the months of July and August, there is also a 10% discount for IPA (International Police Association) members.

This region is ideal for the so-called hibernation for people who are not charmed by the gray, wet and cold autumn-winter period, which in the north of Europe sometimes starts in September and ends in May. By Northern European standards there is no winter here; on this coast it never freezes here and there is at most a short period of a single month of autumn. Here too we do not want to give statistics from the past, because we know that the results achieved in the past are no guarantee for the future. We have experienced so-called winters where - except for 5 to 10 days - we used to have breakfast and lunch on the outside terrace every day. It also happened that this was not possible for a maximum of 2 months due to the wind and / or low temperatures. Nevertheless, the sun shines much more here than in the north and the temperatures are considerably higher here. This makes this region attractive to spend the winter, especially for those who have difficulty with the sometimes much too long drizzly and dark autumn-winter period. If it does get chilly or cold, we provide a gas heater. Gas consumption is at the expense of the tenant. In the villa there is also a fireplace. The consumption of firewood is in consultation, depending on the stock. WINTER OFFER !!!. Although the rental prices are clearly stated on this site, they will be adjusted/adjusted for winter visitors. This means that the stated rent is calculated for the 1st month, but that a € 100 discount is given for the following months.

The saying "unknown makes unloved" also applies to this southern part of Italy. Add to that the stories about the Mafia, Gomorra and the Ndrangheta, then you soon have the feeling to maybe go there another time, right …………….. We do not deny that there is also a kind of of the underworld exists, where is it not, but that is often overexposed in the press. The ordinary Italian and the tourists are not bothered by these people, just as we are. An example. In this area, the bars are frequently used, where - or a little longer - a small cup of coffee is drunk. Same with the tabacchi, where a newspaper and/or cigarettes are bought. At that time, the car is parked on the street with the windows open, the keys in the ignition and usually just a few minutes with the engine running. And yet a car has never been stolen here….. Anyway, these are our findings and we could cite many more examples, but they can be assessed as subjective. To get an objective picture of Italy as possible, visit a few objective sites. You can go there for everything that has to do with Italy, so of course also about travel, politics, recipes, holidays, events and even a free newsletter. Give it a try; really nice site!!!! - www.italie.nl - www.dolcevia.com - www.italiemagazine.nl
