Why not open the laptop where the sound of the sea clears the mind and the sun shines almost every day? In Calabria, with around 300 sunny days per year, the pleasant and the practical combine beautifully. The Mediterranean Hospitality Group makes it possible: whether as a solo remote worker, with a team for a workation, or as working parents on a family vacation — their three properties offer the right setting for every work style and life situation.
Quiet and focus in a former monastery: Villa Paola
Those looking to work with full concentration and no interruptions will find the ideal retreat in the elegant Villa Paola. The former monastery has been tastefully converted into a boutique hotel and captivates with its truly unique atmosphere. Adults only, the property offers peaceful workspaces amid terraced gardens, in the historic cloister, or in the in-house library. An excellent internet connection ensures smooth meetings, even with clients in other time zones. The villa is located close to the charming historic center of Tropea, easily reachable on foot or by tuk-tuk taxi after the workday ends. The hotel's own restaurant, De' Minimi, delights with fresh, Mediterranean dishes — many of the ingredients come directly from the villa's garden.
Staying productive: Capovaticano Resort Thalasso Spa
For companies looking to combine work with team dynamics, the Capovaticano Resort Thalasso Spa offers ideal conditions. From brainstorming in stylish meeting rooms to outdoor workshops and individually organized corporate events, the resort supports every need with its infrastructure, service, and tailor-made offerings. The highlight for body and mind is the in-house spa. After a long workday, facial and body treatments provide the perfect opportunity to unwind. Particularly popular: the Silk Ritual with massage gloves made from Calabrian silk — a holistic experience with an anti-aging effect.
Family-friendly and active from the start: Baia del Sole Resort
Those who want to balance family and work under a southern Italian sky will feel right at home at Baia del Sole Resort. Early risers can kick off the day with complimentary yoga classes on a sea platform — an inspiring start before creative hours at the laptop. Two full-size tennis courts, with an optional coach, bring some movement into the breaks.
Meanwhile, children enjoy a lively animation program, allowing parents to work without interruptions. The family-friendly resort scores points with flexibility, excellent organization, and an outstanding value for money.
Dolce vita meets digital freedom in Calabria
With direct connections via Lamezia Terme airport — from Germany also with a stopover in Rome — Calabria is conveniently accessible. Those seeking inspiration from the dolce vita while working will find in the hotels of the Mediterranean Hospitality Group not only the necessary infrastructure, but also sunshine, the sea, and Mediterranean joie de vivre as daily companions. Working where others vacation — in Calabria, this idea becomes a way of life.
