Castle Ruffo Tours

A coastal town with colorful buildings, a rocky shoreline, and a historic fortress on a hill.
You'll find yourself transported to bygone days at Castle Ruffo. Uncover the secrets hiding between its fortified walls and learn about those who lived behind its mighty doors.

Situated in Nicotera, this fortified complex is worth including in your schedule. But you'll find tons more to see in the area. San Ferdinando Public Beach, Spiaggia Santa Maria, and Joppolo Lungomare aren't too far from Castle Ruffo.

10/10 Exceptional! (12 reviews)
Beautiful and clean property. We only stayed one night in during off season, so we couldn't enjoy the pool or the beach access, but we'll definitely return in the summer to do so! Dinner at the restaurant was excellent.
