The newly renovated "Studio Bellavista" is located in the same house as our "Dependance delle Grazie" just a few meters from the lively piazza. The interior is furnished and decorated in contemporary and mediterranean style with a few antiques and local art works. From the small balcony and the windows you can enjoy the view of the sea, the beach at the Marina, the castello and stunning sunsets. The Studio sleeps 2 (+1) guests and has an annected garage.

 
 

Just a few steps down from the church's square is the 'seminterrato' entrance with a well equipped kitchen. The Studio is only partly souterrain as it opens up with its facade facing the sea, the castello and part of the main piazza.

We call this apartment "Studio" although it has a separate bedroom, becauses initially we considered renting it as an artist's workshop. 

In the kitchen and bedroom we preserved the original wooden ceiling and on the small balcony you can enjoy your morning coffee and afternoon aperitivo while watching the sunset.

On clear days you can spot the active volcano Stromboli, which is part of the Eolie island group of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea. 

You can reach the studio by car in about 30 min from Lamezia international airport (SUF). The studio is located in the centro storico of Pizzo. The Piazza della Repubblica, the main piazza of Pizzo, is a stone's throw, less than one minute walk away. From the studio to the beach at the Marina it is about 10 minutes walk downhill. 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 May to October there are usually "Ape"-taxis connecting the different areas of Pizzo - which are La Marinella, Piedigrotta, Centro Storico, and Pizzo Marina. If you don't like to walk uphill from the beach back home, we recommend the Ape-taxi or to rent a car.

However, if you want to rent a car - also to explore a bit of Calabria - please rent a car at the airport. There is no agent in Pizzo. Scooters could be arranged to be dropped and picked up in Pizzo. If you need a garage please contact us in advance. Our garage has a connecting door to the Studio which is ideal for people with restricted mobility.

From Pizzo you can explore and discover the beautiful Costa degli Dei, the "Coast of 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.

The Studio sleeps 2 - 3 persons. Please note, no pets are allowed. The apartment is not suitable for small children younger than 6 years old (window to roof and stairs). No smoking is allowed inside.

We can organise airport / train station pickup service at extra cost.

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 20.00. Thank you and see you in Pizzo!

PLEASE NOTE: No pets, not suitable for children (below 6 years of age), no smoking;

What our guest say about their stay at the Studio:

“We travel a lot with AirBnB lately and we found our all time favourite with the Studio Bellavista! Besides the amazing view, it was perfectly clean, fully equipped and the host did everything to make our stay as perfect as it was!”
— Yannic from Germany
“The studio is simply beautiful, perfect for a couple. The location is fantastic just a few meters away from the main square. Totally to recommend.”
— Anais from Mexico
“Unsere PERFEKTE Hochzeitsreise - Wo soll ich anfangen... Die Wohnung hoch über dem Meer, sauber, tolle Einrichtung, nebenan die Altstadt mit vielen Läden, Bars und Restaurants, und dieser Ausblick...diese Sonnenuntergänge haben wir noch nie so gesehen. Mit einem Glas Wein dabei auf dem Balkon zu sitzen war ein besonderes Erlebnis. Der Strand ist nicht so überlaufen, mit klarem Wasser und zu Fuß in ca. 10 Minuten zu erreichen. Zurück war bei den Temperaturen etwas anstrengend aber die 10!!! Euro für 3 Minuten mit dem Ape-Taxi kann man sich echt sparen und lieber durch die alten Straßen wandeln. Wichtig: ein kleines Auto mieten, denn die Straßen sind soooo eng. Zum Glück gehörte eine Garage zur Wohnung. Susan und Angelo haben uns die perfekte Hochzeitsreise ermöglicht. Wir können nicht oft genug DANKE sagen. Es war für uns das erste aber bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal dort. Also nochmal GRAZIE!!! Liebe Grüße von Armando und Anne”
— Armado & Anne from Germany
“Per vivere appieno questo appartamento bisognerebbe abbandonarsi totalmente ala bellezza di cui è intriso. Non parlo solo della posizione, incredibilmente affascinante, a due passi dal centro storico, in pratica vicino a tutto quello di cui avrete bisogno durante il vostro soggiorno, ma sopratutto il panorama mozzafiato: c’è un romantico balconcino che affaccia sul mare, come del resto anche il soggiorno. Ho visto i tramonti più belli della mia vita proprio da questo affacci. La casa poi è arredata con una sobrietà e un gusto finissimo, è composta da ottimi materiali, tutto nuovissimo ed efficiente. Curata fin nei minimi particolari è stato un tale piacere soggiornarvi che alla partenza ci siamo sentiti tristi. Susan e Angelo sono stati gentilissimi e hanno riversato tutta la loro sensibilità nella ristrutturazione di questo storico palazzo di Pizzo. Non troverò pace finché non ritornerò da voi! Grazie!”
— Francesco from Napoli
“Superbe sejour d’une semaine à Pizzo dans ce magnifique studio. L’accueil de Susan a été charmant et toutes ses indications pertinentes. Le studio est parfaitement équipé avec une trés belle decoration et des materiaux de qualité. La cuisine fonctionnelle et très bien équipée permet de préparer les poissons et les légumes locaux pour les déguster sur le balcon avec une vue fantastique sur la mer et le soleil couchant. A deux pas d’un coeur de village typique et animé le soir, à quelques minutes le la plage de la Marina en déambulant dans les ruelles’ ce studio est un endroit de rêve où nous avons passé de superbes vacances. Vive l’Italie et merci à Susan.”
— Yann et Nathalie from France
“Abbiamo soggiornato in questo fantastico appartamento arredato con gusto e con una vista spettacolare. Se ritorneremo in Calabria sicuramente lo Studio Bellavista sarà la nostra scelta, perfetto per la sera e come punto di partenza la mattina per le varie spiagge. Grazie di tutto!”
— Marika from Italy
