Holidays in Pizzo

'Pizzo' in local dialect means 'cliff' and the resort itself sits high over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our holidays in Pizzo will leave you with a similar high. In fact with all that sun and the relaxed pace of life you'll never want to leave.

The beach here is overlooked by a 1940's castle and is the perfect place to top up your tan. While inland the main piazza is the place to be for shopping and delicious food. Corso Garibaldi is the main shopping street, where you'll find gorgeous boutiques selling quality shoes and clothes. And when you do stop for lunch, be sure to sample Pizzo's speciality dessert Tartufo gelato. You won't be disappointed.

For a rather more humbling experience visit the Church of Piedigrotta, burrowed into a natural cave. It's the work of sailors who wanted to thank the Madonna for sparing their lives in a shipwreck. The unusual monuments chipped into the stone are truly inspiring when you consider the basic tools the men used.

The Garden Resort is a wonderful place to stay on Pizzo holidays, for both couples and families with kids. Sporty types can try their hand at a range of watersports. While those in need of some me time can lounge around in the sauna and Turkish bath. There are three restaurants to choose from here too, including buffet style and a la carte. Add to that the Asian Tea House and German beer garden and you're in for quite a treat.
