At the most northern tongue of the Capo Vaticano between Briatico and Parghelia stretches a marvellously beautiful coastal area: broad and long beaches are interrupted by tuff stone riffs from time to time.
The splendidly white sand underlines the blue transparency of the sea. And on the horizon the Aeolian Islands seem to be within grasp.
Amazed by these natural beauties the Zappino family has created their holiday domicile in exposed location on a hill overgrown by macchia – halfway between Marina di Zambrone and the mountain village of Zambrone.


From Villa Zappino, which has been completed in 2006, you are offered a phenomenal 180° panoramic view, which reaches all the way to Tropea enthroned on a rock face in the south. The highlight: Stromboli, Vulcano, Lipari, Panarea, Alicudi and Filicudi – the Aeolian Islands, especially beautiful in the evening light.
Villa Zappino houses nine holiday apartments apart from the two summer residences of the owners. We have chosen for you the holiday apartments Thea, Eugenio and Stromboli – all with frontal sea view.



For the common use of all guests, there are various sitting possibilities in the garden, two outdoor showers and a stone grill.
You may park your car directly in front of the villa on the 2500 sqm property.
The wide sandy beach called “il Paradiso del Sub” at Marina di Zambrone is reached within ca. 1.5 km. The “Acquapark” of Marina di Zambrone with diversified water games for “young and old” is famous beyond the area.
