Proprietà rustica in Contrada Montagna, 84, Papasidero,

The cluster sits in the valley of the River Lao; the Lao runs through the locality and the Gole del Lao (Lao gorge/canyon) is immediately nearby. Romito Cave (Grotta del Romito), a Paleolithic archaeological site with engraved rock art and human remains, is close to the town. The area lies inside the boundaries of Parco Nazionale del Pollino (Pollino National Park). The local terrain is dominated by the Pollino massif: limestone outcrops, gorges and steep valleys with wooded slopes. Outdoor activities in the vicinity include rafting/kayaking on the Lao, canyoning and marked hiking routes. There are no ski lifts within the immediate area; the nearest winter facilities are on the Sila plateau, at least an hour’s drive away. The Tyrrhenian coast is within reach and nearby coastal towns with train stations and beaches include Scalea. The nearest provincial capital with major services is Cosenza, reachable by road.
