Giorgia Leonardis, daughter of Gerardo, manages the property after his passing. She enhances its relationship with the sea, hill, stone, light, sky, and sunrise/sunset, giving it an intimate, almost surreal atmosphere that always offers a mystical, fulfilling serenity.

Assigned to the Friars Minor of Saint Francis of Assisi (Reformed) and consecrated to Santa Maria del Rimedio, Prince Bartolomeo Sambiase, an enlightened feudal lord of his time, wanted it as an expression of his prestige. He had it built in front of the castle on the hill outside the city walls, where an ancient Franciscan hermitage already existed. Completed in 1698, it was only in 1702 that Pope Clement XI, personally urged, overcame the negative outcome of a difficult apostolic investigation and authorized its opening. Suppressed by the Napoleonic authorities in 1809, it passed into private ownership in 1866. Fires and earthquakes reduced it to ruins after attacks by French artillery had promoted its degradation, but a careful restoration in the 1980s restored it to its original beauty. Today, one can enjoy an intimate, almost unreal atmosphere in the interplay of light, stones, sky, and sea, always paying tribute to a mystical, fulfilling serenity.

Located in the town of Calopezzati, just 3 km from the sea, the Convent of the Reformed stands on a hill with breathtaking 360-degree views. This location, chosen by the friars in 1698 for its natural beauty, offers a peaceful and relaxing stay. The historic center is just 500 meters away, while the beach can be reached by car in 7 minutes. Parking within the property is free. The nearest airport is Crotone, reachable in 1 hour and 30 minutes, or Lamezia Terme Airport, which can be reached in 2 hours and 30 minutes.
