Just 150 metres from the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia, surrounded by the lush, characteristic landscape of the Tyrrhenian Coast, Villaggio Nuova Temesa offers the perfect setting for a relaxing seaside holiday — where sun, nature, sport, great food and fun come together in harmony.
Conveniently located just 2 km from the A2 motorway exit and only 15 minutes from both Lamezia Terme Airport and train station, the village is easily accessible — yet feels like a world apart.
A Timeless Atmosphere
Picture a peaceful village by the Tyrrhenian Sea, with whitewashed houses and charming little paths winding through vibrant bougainvillea, jasmine and blooming oleanders.
As you stroll through the village lanes, time seems to stand still. The air is filled with the scent of the sea, aromatic herbs and flowers. The silence is broken only by birdsong and the gentle sound of waves on stormy days — wrapping the village in a truly magical ambiance.
Villaggio Nuova Temesa is a place to dream, to get lost among the alleys and discover hidden corners. Its charm lies in its simplicity and authenticity — a place where time slows down and children can still play freely, exploring the pine groves and making new friends outdoors.
Simple Pleasures, Lasting Memories
Days flow gently between relaxing on the beach, football and tennis matches, walks through fragrant Mediterranean vegetation, and friendly chats with neighbours.
As evening falls, soft lights and laughter fill the streets, while the delicious aroma of Mediterranean dishes drifts through the air.
The village becomes a world of its own — where time slows, nature embraces you, and every moment feels like a gift.
The village is located in the seaside area of Nocera Terinese, right on Calabria’s stunning Riviera dei Tramonti, facing directly onto the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The main nearby city is Lamezia Terme — renowned for its thermal spas, and home to the region’s international airport and main railway hub.
Just a short drive away, you can explore some of the most beautiful villages in Calabria (and all of Italy), including Cleto, Fiumefreddo Bruzio, Diamante, and many more hidden gems.
Among Calabria’s coastlines, the “Riviera dei Tramonti” is truly something special — offering romantic views that stretch all the way to the Aeolian Islands at sunset. On this side of the Tyrrhenian, the sun sets late, painting the entire waterfront in fiery, golden tones. It’s a magical setting for a romantic getaway, best enjoyed with a seaside apericena and good company.
Also known as the Coast of the Phaeacians, this area owes its name to ancient legends: the land between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas — the narrowest point in all of Italy — is said to have been home to the mythical people who welcomed Odysseus after his shipwreck. The land of King Alcinous and Princess Nausicaa, from Homer’s Odyssey.
Behind the Riviera rise the lush forests of Mount Reventino and hidden gems like the town of Curinga, famous for its scenic hike to the Millenary Plane Tree and the ancient Roman Baths of Acconia.
The coastline is bordered by the fertile Plain of Sant’Eufemia, blanketed in the renowned Tropea Red Onion (IGP) fields, Lamezia DOC vineyards, and centuries-old olive groves — a rich and authentic taste of Southern Italy.
Food & Flavour Around Every Corner
Ristorante Pizzeria Maris - Nocera Marina
