With a bedroom, living room, separate kitchen, bathroom, covered terrace and balcony, this apartment within the Parco Teresa condomonium will make an ideal holiday flat. It lies on the second floor.

It's ideally placed for transport and the shops, lying just 100m from the railway station and with a private parking space outside. There is a supermarket and other food shops nearby. This Calabria property for sale is 600m from the beach.

Scalea itself is a pretty town in the Calabria region of southern Italy. On the Tyrrhenian coast, you have warm seas and sandy beaches on one side and the mountains at your back. While Scalea hasn't been spoiled by tourism, the beaches are well set up for visitors … you won't be roughing it here! Very popular with Italian holidaymakers, it is only now being discovered by foreigners. Hence property is still very cheap.

You also have an option on buying the flat next door.
