Calabria's first Eco-Experiential Glamping Village

On 14 November 2025, “I Giardini del Caramante” opened its doors in Soverato, marking the launch of Calabria’s first eco-experiential glamping village. The official opening, which included workshops and was attended by representatives from regional and local authorities, took place on 9 April 2026.

We are the first and only glamping village in Calabria, entirely and exclusively glamping: eco-sustainable by design and dedicated to experiential tourism., In short:

Calabria's first Luxury Eco-Experiential Glamping Village

An innovative and inspiring project

“I Giardini del Caramante” is an innovative project that was launched in 2023, although the idea first came about many years earlier during a trip to Africa (discover our philosophy).

The inspiration born from a glamping experience in Africa, combined with the rediscovery of a unique and magical place in Soverato, ignited the spark that then became a mission: create the first true Experiential Eco-Glamping.

Due to its morphological characteristics and the way the city of Soverato (CZ) has developed, the estate hosting the glamping, over 5 hectares in size, manages to retain its original distinctly bucolic character, despite being practically in the city centre: pharmacy, hospital, restaurants, shops and generally all services within walking distance!

The early 20th-century village, once inhabited by families who worked on the farm, now hosts a theatre (in place of the old oil mill) for at least 20 years.The Griffin Theatrewhilst everything else remains largely uninhabited, giving an overall impression that time has magically crystallised.

Note“A hidden garden, a timeless village”The perfect place to give birth to an ecological glamping site focused on experiential tourism!

A visionary project!

The project involves the completion of the first phase in the olive grove area, but it plans to develop new glamping areas and units, such as:yurts for social activities and courses, a bar with facilities and a classroom for courses and events, a restaurant, a quartz swimming pool, synergistic gardens, a small spa, a bio-lake, trekking routes and much more.

Obviously all harmoniously immersed in nature.

The vision is createA green oasis where experiential activities can be held in an environment integrated with nature, in harmony with the village and, at the same time, with the city of Soverato. and the countless services offered.

The tourist approach can be summarised in three words: Explore, Experience & Enjoy: Explore stands for exploration of the territory,Experience to experience it in an experiential and active way and Enjoy to enjoy its fruits. Tourists will have the possibility of declining their holiday according to one or more approaches for an unforgettable tourist experience.
