Overview

Stilo is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Italy and displays its symbol as such upon entering the town.

It's an impressive site to behold visiting this town, which rises on the slopes of the terraced hills dotted with olive trees and vineyards, the town quite literally seems to be painted onto the cliff face.  

Stilo was the main Byzantine centre in of southern Calabria and welcomed Bsilian hermits and monks who lived in its caves and built the famous Cattolica church, which is one of the most important and most well preserved churches in the Calabria region, which still after centuries is incredibly well intact.

“This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place”

“I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying!

They know”
