🏰 The Village and the Swabian Castle

Perched on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea, our village is a labyrinth of medieval alleys. Just a short walk away, the Swabian Castle of Frederick II dominates the landscape. For a unique visit, don't miss the evocative Wax Museum located in the Monastery of the Friars Observant.

Local tip: Get lost among the terraced houses at sunset, when the stone is painted in shades of gold.

🌊 A Blue Flag Sea

If you are looking for relaxation, our coastline awaits you with crystal-clear waters, which have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag every year since 2020. Whether you prefer equipped beach clubs or wilder, untouched shores, you will find your own corner of paradise just a few minutes' drive from the villa.

Local tip: Enjoy a swim early in the morning, when the sea is like a calm, blue table.

🍋 The Scent of PGI Lemons

Rocca Imperiale is the land of "yellow gold." While walking in the surroundings of Casa Poppi, you will be enveloped by the scent of orange blossoms. Our PGI Lemon is the symbol of this generous land: try it in traditional dishes or in the artisanal sorbets found in the village.
