Castle for sale in Roseto Capo Spulico, Calabria, Italy

Overlooking the Ionian Sea in Roseto Capo Spulico, on Calabria’s upper Ionian coast, this monumental Federician castle occupies a commanding position on a coastal promontory, with direct private access to the beach below. Protected by the Ministry of Culture and restored with respect for its historic identity, the property offers 901 sqm of internal surface arranged across three levels, within grounds of approximately 1 hectare. The outdoor spaces include 1,000 sqm of panoramic terraces and open porticoes facing the sea, plus a fenced 1,200 sqm parking area.

Built upon the remains of a Byzantine monastery, the fortress was developed by the Normans in the 11th century and adapted for military use by Frederick II in 1229. Its crenellated walls enclose an impressive inner courtyard, while the former medieval halls, with exposed stonework, monumental fireplaces and rustic flooring, now accommodate a prestigious restaurant, event rooms, professional kitchens and service areas. The layout also includes an outdoor amphitheatre, four rooms used as private accommodation, management offices and staff quarters, together with the Imperial Suite in the ancient tower.

Featuring a Jacuzzi and an exclusive terrace, the suite enjoys open sea views. An exceptional setting for high-profile hospitality, receptions and private events, the castle combines architectural heritage, operational versatility and a private waterfront setting near the historic hilltop centre of Roseto Capo Spulico and the archaeological heritage of Sibari.
