Castello di Roseto In Roseto capo spulico

Beautiful stop on the castle beach

Clear water, but entry into the sea is difficult due to the presence of some slippery rocks.

Petra Roseti Castle is a fortress perched on a rocky outcrop. Originally the site of a monastery, the original core of the castle was built on the ruins of which by the Normans. Passed to the Templar Order, it was later requisitioned by Frederick II of Swabia, a place that became dear to him. Today, it is known simply as the Castle of Frederick II of Roseto Capo Spulico. A modest entrance fee is available for a visit. This intimate castle, with rooms spread across multiple floors, has both indoor and outdoor spaces for hosting events. It is believed that the Holy Shroud passed through this castle on its journey to its current permanent home. The view from its summit is breathtaking.

Renovated castle, but very, very special. Worth a visit. Cost is €5

Spectacular and one-of-a-kind location! Michele, Emanuela and Tommy will know how to welcome you in the best way. Impeccable cuisine. For me a must-see in the summer!

The restaurant is inside the castle with a beautiful view of the sea. If you have lunch or dinner you can visit it. I ordered a mixed fried calamari, shrimp and courgettes Julienne style which was crunchy and tasty. The tiramisu cream was good but it wasn't very compact, a bit liquid, probably due to the addition of cream. Friendly service and a mention for the friendliness to Giulio on his second day of work. I had lunch outside and it was very nice.

Beautiful castle, unfortunately privately owned

The Castle of Roseto Capo Spulico (CS), stands on the shore of the Ionian Sea. Known in ancient times as Castrum Petrae Roseti, it was already a Norman fort, but was rebuilt in the thirteenth century by Frederick II of Swabia. Seen from the outside, the castle has a trapezoidal shape, with three towers, one of which is crenellated and higher than the others. The interior, which today houses an elegant restaurant, preserves the cisterns for collecting water and the stables.

It is private property and can be visited for a fee. It has only one room, a suite, so we didn't visit it, we were dreaming of swimming in front of it, but it was too rocky and we didn't think it was safe so we didn't swim. We drank our Aperol and continued on our way.

In viaggio sulla Statale 106, nell'Alto Jonio Cosentino, ci siamo fermati per il pranzo nello storico Castello Federiciano, a Roseto Capo Spulico, un sito meraviglioso che ospita anche un ristorante di buonissimo livello, con una cucina attenta alla genuinità e alla stagionalità dei prodotti, sia di carne che di pesce. Non potendo "appesantirci troppo" per il viaggio, io e il mio compagno abbiamo preso un secondo e un contorno: tagliata di manzo con funghi e tartufo, baccalà con olive e cicorie saltate. I piatti sono stati preparati al momento e sono stati presentati in modo curato ẹd elegante. Per accompagnare il tutto, un calice di ottimo Cirò. Servizio professionale, prezzi adeguati e... indovinatissima "bossa nova" di sottofondo.
