The village itself has a variety of local amenities and the property is a 3 minute drive from the marina village of Torremezzo which benefits from a parade of café bars/gelateria, grocery shops, post office, pharmacy, Go Kart track etc. and during the summer months a number of beach bars and lidos. Torremezzo is conveniently positioned to explore the many traditional villages and to access the stunning National Park of La Sila where you can take advantage of the many year-round activities that are on offer, including walking, pony trekking, quad bikes and in the winter months, skiing.
