Visiting Guardia was all about family! We spent 5 days with Joe & Becky's familia who live in the Calabria region, located in the toes of Southern Italy! Cousin Agostino made our hotel arrangements at the Katisan Hotel & Pizzeria Bar. Guardia is located along the Tyrrhenian Sea. We were just a few blocks away from the seafront and the surrounding area is known as Guardia Marina. It wasn't long before I realized that this quiet, tranquil sanctuary, was going to capture my heart! ❤️Coming down to Southern Italy, meeting our friends' familia, taking in the natural beauty of the sea 🌊 and mountains 🌄connected me personally.
