Via Fratelli Bandiera,, 11, Girifalco

The area sits in the inland hills between the Ionian side of the Catanzaro province and the Serre Calabresi. The Corace valley lies nearby, with mixed agricultural land, olive groves and wooded slopes typical of this part of central Calabria. Toward the west and south-west, the Serre uplands are the main mountain landscape within reach, with broader forests and higher relief becoming clearer around places such as Serra San Bruno. Catanzaro is the nearest city of size, with full services, hospitals, secondary schools and rail connections in its wider urban area. This part of Calabria is known for hill villages, olive oil and the transition from inland uplands to the two coasts of the Isthmus of Catanzaro.
