A Convent Wedding on the Coast of the Gods.

Villa Paola is taken privately for your celebration: the cloisters, gardens and sea-view terraces of a former convent given over to one wedding above Tropea. Symbolic ceremonies are held on the terraces facing the Aeolian Islands; dinners are by the in-house De' Minimi restaurant; rooms and suites house the wedding party; and the isolated setting lets the celebration run late into the Calabrian night. Weddings to a maximum of 90 guests, on enquiry.

Fine Dining, From the Convent Garden.

Weddings at Villa Paola are catered in-house by the De' Minimi restaurant: fine dining drawn from the flavours of Calabria, with much of the produce grown in the convent's own vegetable garden. Dinners are served on the terraces above the sea or within the vaulted rooms, with the wines of the region, tailored to each couple.

The Coast of the Gods.

Villa Paola sits above Tropea, the cliff-top town that crowns Calabria's Costa degli Dei, the Coast of the Gods. Below are the bays and white-sand beaches of the Tyrrhenian; on the horizon, the Aeolian Islands and the smoking cone of Stromboli. It is about fifty minutes from Lamezia Terme Airport, in one of southern Italy's most beautiful and least crowded corners, where the light and the sea need little adornment.
