Natural Beauty in Calabria
At Vere Vitae, the land itself becomes part of the journey — an intimate valley embraced by forest, opening southward to sweeping sea views where mountain, sky, and horizon meet. Within this sanctuary, all five elements, Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit meet in prefect harmony to facilitate renewal, healing and discovery.
The unique placement of the property grants its beautiful and fully outfitted cottages with breathtaking views of mountains and sea, as well as with the privacy and tranquility allowed by the plush tree forest.
Ceramic statues, flowered gardens, tree-hung hammock and swing, as well as orange- and lemon-tree promenades adorn the walking grounds, in which center lies the yoga space, pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area, and sea-front Jade's Haven.

Positioned along the valley wall and facing south to capture light and sweeping sea views, our private bungalows blend rustic character with modern ease.

The Celestial Cabins
At the heart of the valley lies Jade’s Haven, the sea-front pool house and terrace backed by mountains, embraced by trees and flowers, and perched on a cliff with sweeping views of the water. Here, guests gather in shared serenity—at sunrise for complimentary organic breakfasts that infuse the day with light and healing, and at sunset when the horizon glows with natural magic.

Our Commitment to the Land
Vere Vitae was born from a commitment to restore, sustain, and honor the land it inhabits. From drilling more than 350 meters deep to reach natural water sources that now nourish our eight acres and give the land continuous life, to planting over a hundred trees—olive, fig, orange, mandarin, avocado, cherry, pear, and lemon—every choice has been made with long-term stewardship in mind.
We have also tended what was already here: dozens of forgotten fruit trees, once neglected, are being patiently revived and nurtured back into abundance. Solar energy powers our infrastructure, and eco-conscious waste systems—including water-responsible sanitation—ensure minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
As the land heals, life has returned. Butterflies, birds, and new fauna now inhabit spaces that had been silent after decades of neglect. This regeneration is not accidental; it is the result of daily care, reverence, and relationship with the soil.
At Vere Vitae, sustainability is not a feature—it is a living practice. One rooted in gratitude, attentiveness, and the quiet joy of tending the Earth, day after day, alongside nature and our animals, with respect and awe.
