The thriving resort of Rende, which rises on the top of the sweet hills that develop east of Cosenza, is the seat of the University of Calabria. The small hamlet of Arcavacata is home to the university facilities and the residential area of the large campus.

Hotels in Rende are able to suit even guests' most demanding requirements. The local guest houses give guests the possibility to take advantage of modern comforts and excellent services and facilities at affordable rates. Not to be missed are Rende's residences, which are the ideal accommodation facilities for those interested in spending pleasant holidays here, and the charming farm houses of the countryside, which are surrounded by lush green areas and impressive Tyrrhenian reliefs.

Rende's old town is idyllically set just in the heart of the lush green slopes of the surrounding hills. The lower part of the city is occupied by the modern districts, which have been built since the 60s to host the University of Calabria. Today, Rende boasts the largest residential area for students of the whole Italian territory, the first campus ever realized in the peninsula. Students still have the possibility to enjoy Rende's smart town layout, since the residential areas are situated just in the heart of the lush green hills of the surrounding area, while the university facilities develop across the lower part of the city, along the monumental corridor of the famous Pietro Bucci steel bridge.
The presence of the university makes Rende a thriving business city and flourishing cultural centre. The municipal territory is often the venue for amazing concerts, congresses and events. One of the best consequences of the presence of the university was the creation of the increasingly important Rende's Industrial Park.
