Villaggio Club Bahja  

Perched on Italy’s western Cosenza coast near Paola, this holiday village sits in fragrant Maquis scrub and overlooks the Mediterranean. Close to the Shrine of St. Francis di Paola and within easy reach of the University of Calabria and Queen's Rock — family-friendly and pet-friendly with a private beach.

Bright, air-conditioned en-suite rooms come with TVs — the property offers 40 double/triple rooms, 16 quadruple rooms, plus apartments with kitchenettes and terraces or patios. Guests can choose full board, half board or bed & breakfast while enjoying sea views and relaxed village-style lodging.

Splash in a three-level outdoor pool or unwind on the private beach; active guests get tennis, beach volleyball, basketball, fitness classes and a fitness center. On-site perks include a mini-market, pizzeria, bar with a welcome drink, restaurant, games room, entertainment, poolside bar and complimentary Wi‑Fi; beach services and club membership are available as extras.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Additional practical services include tour/ticket assistance, dry cleaning/laundry, luggage storage and free self parking.

Eat at the on-site restaurant or grab a slice at the pizzeria, then sip at the bar or poolside lounge. Buffet breakfasts are offered for a fee and most meals lean into classic Italian hotel-style options.
