In the heart of the historic village of Badolato, nestled among stone alleyways, panoramic staircases, and timeless charm, lies a small home with great soul. Built over 300 years ago using local stone and traditional materials, this dwelling has remained faithful to its origins, preserving the authentic spirit of rural Calabria. Staying here feels like stepping back in time, a quiet, magical place where history whispers through the walls.

The house measures approximately 30 square meters (320 square feet) and is located on the ground floor of a two-level structure.It features: a cozy living area with open-plan kitchen, a small scullery for washing dishes, a bathroom with shower and washing machine and a balcony where you can enjoy outdoor meals with a beautiful view of the hills and a partial sea view.

Thanks to the high ceilings, it is also possible to create a mezzanine sleeping area, optimizing the space and adding charm and functionality.

While the property is partially in need of renovation, it is fully habitable and rented regularly during the summer season, proving its potential as both a private retreat and a holiday rental. The furnishings are simple and consistent with the rustic atmosphere. As it’s a studio layout with no separate bedroom, the sofa converts into a bed for sleeping. We also offer a custom renovation and interior design project upon request, helping you transform this timeless home into a cozy hideaway or smart investment.

Badolato is officially listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. With its unique medieval layout and unforgettable views, the town draws visitors from around the world every year. Just a few minutes from the house, you’ll find one of Southern Italy’s most stunning coastlines, with wide white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise water.

This is not just a home, it’s a piece of history, a soulful refuge, and a rare opportunity to invest in one of Italy’s last truly authentic gems.
