kilometres from Reggio Calabria a location which takes on a violet hue at sunset and has a

SLEEPING IN THE mythical castle just a short distance from the sea. In the splendidly
restructured Castle, which was once an 18th century Bourbon fortress, hospitality is to be
found in the suites and junior suites, with their lovely decorations and modern comforts
which give off an immediate sense of warmth and elegance. The Junior Suite is for 2 people
and the Suites for 3 or 4 people.
THE WELLNESS CENTRE “NOTOS” HARMONY AND SERENITY IN THE HEART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
“Notos”, is the name that the ancient Greeks gave to the winds coming in from the South; an
expression of dynamism, radiant splendour and interior peace. This oasis, set in ten
hectares of green parkland which surrounds the resort. A SPA of 800sm on two levels, in
which shape, colour and fabric inspired by a warm minimalist style, give an immediate
sensation of relaxation and harmony.
HARMONIOUS PATHS LEADING TO WELL-BEING. “Notos” looks after its guests with regenerative
and even personalised treatments which favour a welcoming balance between the body, mind and
spirit. The programmes: relaxation, “remise en forme” and anti-age, form a collection of
beauty and massotherapy treatments that take advantage of the exclusive range of products,
created by the best laboratories in this sector. You can take advantage of the treatments
at the daily spa, for a weekend or on a weekly basis.
THE BEACH AND THE SEA. Caressed by the limpid waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this is an
authentic paradise for scuba divers thanks to its glorious underwater panorama full of
spectacular chromatisms and multi-coloured species of fish. The Altafiumara private beach
is for guests use only and lies in a small cove protected by the jutting cliffs on either
side, that looks like a natural pool, bathed by the warm Mediterranean sun.
THE “DUE MARI” RESTAURANT. The food prepared at Altafiumara reaches a peak of perfection
that is difficult to find elsewhere. The variety and high quality of the gastronomic dishes
is able to satisfy even the most demanding of customers, and this restaurant is also ideal
for large numbers. A Mediterranean cuisine with a good selection of top-quality wines that
forms the ideal meal for those who know what good food is all about. The restaurant can
seat up to 90 people in an informal but elegant setting with a wonderful terrace that has a
lovely view of the Straits and a private area, the VIP Hall, for the most important
occasions.
WINE BAR. Directed by a professional sommelier, the “Academy of Wine” is the ideal place
for wine lovers. Deep in the former dungeons of the Castle, amidst ancient vaults and
historic reminders, there are 8,000 bottles of 450 types of wine. Here you can find some of
the best national and international wines, jealously guarded in the vaults, which form an
impressive wine list. Frequent appointments, open to all wine buffs, offer the ideal
opportunity to discover and taste the latest wine tendencies.
THE FATA MORGANA. On the first floor of the Castle, you will find this area which covers
110sm. From here the proximity of Sicily gives you the impression of almost being able to
reach out and touch it. The “Fata Morgana” suite has its own entrance hall, two rooms with
bathroom, and a large and sumptuous living room. The rose pink, tobacco and gold internal
decorations are sophisticated and the rooms are characterised by elegant and refined
furniture.
