Bovalino

In Bovalino, the sea is the star! A renowned seaside resort along the Costa dei Gelsomini in the province of Reggio Calabria, the town of Bovalino and Bovalino Marina await you for a summer holiday that will seduce all five senses: from the intense blue of the sea to the unmistakable scent of citrus groves.

Bovalino ’s coastline is ideal both for fun lovers and visitors looking for the chance to find a quiet corner.

The beach at Bovalino Marina and the entire promenade offer a relaxing walk, along a stretch of unspoilt coastline still bordered by Mediterranean scrub. Beyond the marina is the town of Bovalino. Also known as Bovalino Superiore, it stands on a panoramic hill where you can still see the ruins of the first medieval settlement, known as Castello di Guarnaccia (damaged by the 1908 earthquake), and the churches dedicated to Our Lady of the Snow and St Nicholas of Bari. In the historic centre of Bovalino, an important festival is held on 8 September to commemorate the Miracle of the Immaculate Conception.
