The newly renovated "Dependance Delle Grazie" is our largest apartment and is located in the same house as our "Studio Bellavista". The apartment is on the upper floor with two levels and a spacious and bright floor space of about 125 sqm (1,345 sq ft). The interior is furnished in contemporary and antique style with Mediterranean floor tiles and wooden parquet. The walls are decorated with artworks from three local artists. From the balconies and the private roof terrace you can see the Castello Murat, Pizzo Marina, the beach, the sea and stunning ever changing sunsets. From here it's just 50 meters down the street to the lively piazza with a good choice of bars, shops and restaurants, and a 10 minutes walk to the beach. The Dependance sleeps 2 to 5 guests.


 
 

The entrance to the Dependance is a few steps up a staircase on the first floor. There are two private bedrooms. The large master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a small balcony facing the street. The second smaller bedroom has a balcony with sea views and is furnished with a single bed that transforms into a queen size double bed. A sofa bed and a work desk are upstairs at the galleria under the roof and can be reached from the stairways in the living room. The private rooftop terrace offers stunning views over the sea, the piazza and the roofs of the centro storico and Pizzo Marina. The balconies of the living/dining area and the kitchen are facing the sea as well. 

On clear days you can spot the active volcano Stromboli, which is part of the Eolie island group of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea - which makes the sunsets even more spectacular.  

During the renovation natural stone walls were discovered and preserved as well as some wooden beams and ceilings. We used special material and double windows for insulation.

You can reach the Dependence by car in about 30 min from Lamezia international airport (SUF). The Piazza della Repubblica, the main piazza in the historic centre of Pizzo, is less than 1 minute walk away. From the Dependence to the beach at the Marina it is just a 10 minutes walk. Everything you might need during your stay is within walking distance: bars, restaurants, fresh market and shops. You actually do not need a car while in Pizzo. From April to October there are usually "Ape"-taxis connecting the different areas of Pizzo - which are La Marinella, Piedigrotta, Centro Storico, and La Marina. If you want to rent a car, the nearest car rental agents are at Lamezia airport. Scooters can be organised to be dropped and picked up in Pizzo (from Parghelia / Tropea). If you want to book a car park please contact us in advance.

From Pizzo you can explore and discover the beautiful Costa degli Dei, the "Coast of the Gods" - with its crystal clear, turquoise sea and many different beaches, as well as the many little villages with Greek history, scattered over gentle Calabrian highlands with thousands of olive trees and forests. See our section about Calabria.

The Dependence sleeps 2 - 5 persons. Please note, no pets are allowed. The Dependence is not suitable for small children and people with restricted moving ability. No smoking inside, only outside on the terrace.

We can organise for you a pick-up service from the airport or train station at extra charge. Please let us know asap. - Please contact us at least 2 - 3 days prior to your arrival to agree on a key-hand-over-time. Check-in is from 15.00 to 21.00. Many thanks and see you in Pizzo!

Please note: No pets, no smoking; check-in 3pm-8pm, check-out 10 am;

What our guest say about their stay at the Dependance:

Ich war im Juli mit meiner Familie das erste Mal in Kalabrien. Die Lage von Pizzo, die wunderschöne Bucht, der Blick auf den Stromboli, die unmittelbare Nähe zur Piazza, die nie richtig schläft, wird erst in Kombination mit diesem Haus vollkommen. Die Tür öffnet sich, und man ist begeistert vom liebevoll gestalteten Ambiente. Nichts deutet auf Ferienwohnung. Hochwertige Ausstattung von den Böden, über die Möbel bis hin zur Kunst, die zum Teil von ortsansässigen klassischen oder zeitgenössischen Künstlern bezogen wurde. Beim sensationellen Ausblick verschlägt es einem aber dann ganz den Atem. Mit einem Glas Wein auf der Dachterrasse, Brot, Käse und Gemüse vom Händler um die Ecke muss man sich schon wirklich kneifen, um zu begreifen, dass man das live erlebt!!
— Cat from Berlin
Traumhaft schön - Die Wohnung liegt toll (es ist alles notwendige fußläufig zu erreichen). Praktisch ist auch ein vorhandener Parkplatz. Wir wurden herzlichen empfangen und haben tolle Tipps erhalten. Die schönen umliegenden Strände sind die mit kurzen Strecken per Auto zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet. Wir haben den Urlaub dort wirklich sehr genossen und würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren. Kurz und gut - wir können sie nur empfehlen.
— Andrea Z.
Pizzo is a magical place...it’s s like stepping back into time in a much more gentler era - The property is first class and the people who run it are also classy people. Susan and Angelo are wonderful hosts you will not go wrong with “Dependance” & Pizzo. This is breathtaking property with views of the sea from every window and an amazing rooftop terrace. Recently renovated and tastefully furnished. It’s steps away from the main Piazza where all the restaurants are. Also only a 10 min walk to a clean & pretty beach unservised however there are many restaurants just a few steps away. Loved every moment!!
— Mary, Bianca & Vito from Toronto, Canada
Outstanding!! - This is the most outrageous place. It is really hard to imagine what would make it better. Susan has thought of everything. First the location is wonderful. Close to town with a view of the sea that is a feast for the eyes. The apartment is hugh, spotless, and very user friendly. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook great meals. Examples: lettuce spinner, 3 cutting boards, 3 different sets of wine glasses, large fridge, espresso maker, etc. Then of course, you can have your meals on the balcony off the kitchen or on the big terrace. All communications with Susan or Angelo were immediate and helpful. We were even able to park our car in a secure patio. Thank you Susan for sharing your place with us. Our 7 days were extremely memorial. Pictures do not show how big it really is. When you walk in your mouth will drop open!!!!

This completely renovated Italian house is farout the most beautiful one we have ever stayed in on our trips through Italy! The pictures already give you a good idea but in reality it is even more spacious and luxurious. Close by the center of Pizzo yet very peaceful. The roof terrace view is just spectacular and was our favorite. Every evening we enjoyed a spectacular sunset over the ocean with a view of the Stromboli vulcano at the horizon. The beach down the steps was the perfect place to relax, cool down in the water and enjoy the sun. In short, a big recommendation for a peaceful vacation. We enjoyed it very much !

Prestation de très bon niveau - Propriétaires très disponibles - La localisation de cet appartement est privilégiée : proche de la plage et à proximité immédiate du centre de Pizzo. L’appartement est très bien agencé, décoré et équipé. Il est très confortable. C’est une prestation d’un très bon niveau. Propreté irréprochable en arrivant. Un accueil chaleureux des propriétaires qui sont très disponibles et peuvent intervenir très rapidement en cas de besoin, de questions... Bref, une semaine vraiment très agréable. Rien à dire contre.
— Christophe avec famille
Traumhaftes Appartement, charmanter Ort - Wir sind sehr freundlich und nett empfangen worden, danke nochmal an Angelo auch für die tollen Tipps! Das Appartement ist ein Traum. Sehr stilvoll eingerichtet mit allem was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend und die Lage hervorragend. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen und an der Piazza ist immer etwas los. Wir konnten super entspannen und genossen abends gerne den Sonnenuntergang bei einem Glas Wein und der tollen Aussicht. Wir haben Pizzo und das Appartement in unser Herz geschlossen und werden sicher wieder kommen. Danke nochmal an Susan und Angelo!
— Monia S.
Outstanding! - My wife and I stayed for two weeks and things could not have gone any better. Susan and her team made us feel extremely welcome and her tips regarding the local restaurants, sightseeing, etc. were very helpful. The apartment itself is stunning with dramatic views of Pizzo and the sea. We always tried to be home at sunset so we could enjoy the view from the terrace. Thanks again Susan, Angelo, Carmela and Tonino - we had a truly great time.
— Cindy & Ken
The town of Pizzo was charming, the views were outstanding. The accommodations were second to none but it was the stellar service from Angelo that made our stay truly unforgettable! We will never forget this holiday due to all these amazing factors.
— Della from the U.S.
The place is fantastic! Views from the 4 balconies breathtaking. Very spacious for our family of 5, top location near the center, 4 minutes walk to the beach. Susan and her crew very attentive. A garage for parking included, turned out to be a bonus due to limited street parking. Very highly recommended.
— Torben from Danmark
Our stay in Pizzo was a memorable one. Big thanks to Susan, the owner and her family for making feeling us welcome and introducing the city. If we are going to Pizzo again, we would definitely choose this apartment due to its owners’ professional and friendly approach, perfect location and convenience of the apartment. We would also like to hire a car to explore the area around Pizzo. Thank you!!!

Ottimo soggiorno - Siamo stati ospiti nella “Dependance” di Pizzo per una decina di giorni alla fine del mese di luglio 2020 e siamo felici di lasciare una recensione estremamente positiva di questo soggiorno. L’appartamento è frutto di una ristrutturazione sapiente e molto elegante di un vecchio palazzetto nel centro del paese, e gode di una magnifica posizione panoramica sul mare e sul Castello di Pizzo. Le foto del sito non rendono giustizia alla bellezza dell’appartamento. Eccellente la pulizia e la funzionalità di tutti gli ambienti. Ottima la qualità dei materassi e dei cuscini. La casa è fornita di biancheria pulita e profumata e stoviglie sufficienti per 6/8 persone. La possibilità di parcheggiare nel cortile interno della casa (attenzione alla larghezza della macchina) è un vantaggio non secondario considerando la difficoltà di trovare parcheggio per le strette strade di Pizzo. Essere in centro vuol dire anche un po’ di rumore, anche se solo nelle serate del fine settimana, ma la possibilità di chiudere le finestre ben isolate ed accendere il condizionatore o il deumidificatore attenuano molto questo relativo disagio. Una nota a parte meritano i proprietari dell’appartamento, che ci hanno accolto con estrema gentilezza, fornendoci tutte le informazioni utili (del resto disponibili anche in appartamento in lingua inglese) sul luogo e su come rendere più gradevole il soggiorno, visitando le spiagge più belle ed i siti di interesse turistico e culturale. Ringraziamo di cuore Suzanne, Carlo, Angelo e signora.
— Bruno
We love Susan’s place so much that we can’t stop thinking about going back. The apartment exceeds our expectation in every aspect. Angelo is a great help, he took many extra steps to ensure we enjoy our time in Pizzo. Recommend this place to everybody visiting Calabria.
— Fanghua from Shanghai
Hidden Gem in Calabria. The apartment is really huge and ready to take either a group of friends or a large family. But for us (a couple) it was also perfect. The roof terrace is a dream come true. Great views over the medieval sea and the town of Pizzo - picture book ready! We had a small car - and small is what you need - to get around and to go to different beaches and Lidos. But you can also just walk down to the beach and spend a nice afternoon there. Great places to dine out in Pizzo and the surrounding area. Calabria is really cheap - no big purse needed. We went to Tropea for some change and did enjoy the beach there (45 min drive). Water colors are just amazing. But even better to come back to Pizzo after a day at the beach and to enjoy the more intimate setting in Pizzo or at the apartment.
