The Grimaldi Palace Hotel enjoys a fantastic location in the heart of Calabria that offers its guests easy access to the treasures of Southern Italy. Located in Cittanova, on the doorstep of the Aspromonte National Park, the Grimaldi Palace is the ideal base from which to set out and explore the natural beauty with which this region has been blessed.

Cittanova (literally translated into the new city) was founded in 1618 in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that reshaped the demography of southern Calabria. It endured a further earthquake in the early 18th century but has since developed into a popular destination among tourists in search of peace and tranquillity ¬(between earthquakes of course). Its central position makes it the perfect springboard from which to visit Sicily, Reggio Calabria and the Adriatic Coast.
