HOTEL SANTA LUCIA

Small town on the outskirts of Tropea, belonging to the province of Vibo Valentia located 75 meters above sea level. It is renowned for its fine sandy beaches set among beautiful coves on an emerald sea. The country offers basic services, bars, food, pharmacy. Along the coast there are numerous accommodation facilities. In addition to the quaint old town, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the sea and the island of Stromboli, in Parghelia are worth visiting the Church of Santa Maria di Portosalvo, of eighteenth-century origin, which preserves Neapolitan school works inside; the Church of St. Andrew the Apostle, the patron saint of the village, which was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century after a violent earthquake destroyed the old place of worship. The coastal strip of Parghelia stretches for about 8 km. White sandy beaches alternate with suggestive cliffs. This is the case of the locality Vardano, whose cliffs are known as "the ringhi". You can also admire the marina of Michelino with the rock of Sant'Andrea and the rock "Palombaro", also called "La Pizzuta". It is said that passing ships avoided approaching this rock to avoid being hit by stones thrown by a slave from the top of the stack. The rock of "d'a Madonna" is linked, instead, to the legend of the arrival of the painting of the Madonna di Portosalvo in Parghelia. Before arriving at the border with the territory of Zambrone we still find two wonderful cliffs, known by the inhabitants with the name "le taverne", the Bordila marina, former seat of the tonnara, and the Fornaci coastline.
