Profil: The company Costa degli Angeli, s.r.l., was founded in 2001 with the goal of bringing tourism to the Ionian Coast of southern Italy, particularly to the medieval mountaintop city of Badolato in Calabria. This fully licensed limited liability company, which is named after the name of this coast, purchases carefully chosen houses in Badolato that were abandoned after World War II, restores them with all local materials and craftsmen. Visitors enjoy vacations in beautiful, authentic Italian gems nestled into an 11th century walled city full of kind, friendly residents and surrounded by olive, lemon, and orange trees. Costa degli Angeli, s.r.l., was formed from a dream to preserve and revive Badolato's rich history and culture while inviting newcomers into our community to enrich its future. To achieve this goal, we have designed a plan to restore Badolato's abandoned properties while saving as much of the original structures as possible and using all local materials and craftsmanship; in turn, these revitalized properties are made available to visitors . Buying a property: please have a look at our website: www.calabrianproperties.com: Tthe first step is to click on Restored Houses at this website, where you can take a look at the 5 unique, high quality, restored houses with proud American, Australian and European owners. The second step is to come down to Badolato and see, feel and touch those restored properties as well as experience the colorful historic, tranquil environment, and take in the spectacular views of the sea and mountains. Take a look at the list of abandoned properties Costa degli Angeli have acquired, make your choice, and then work through with the company on how you visualize your restored house to be. Unlike the identical rows of apartments/houses built in other holiday resorts, each restored property by Costa degli Angeli is unique. The next step is for Costa degli Angeli's architect to draw up a Project Plan for the works of the selected house e.g. floor area measurement, subdivision of rooms, display of windows, doors, balconies. The Project Plan is then submitted to the Municipal Council in Badolato, which arranges for the solidity of the house to be checked by the provincial engineer. After 30 days, if there has been no objection or change imposed by the Municipality, the building permit is deemed as granted and the refurbishing works can start.
