Montalto Uffugo is an ancient town in eastern Calabria that offers a gratifying choice for travelers looking for a lesser-known destination with abiding cultural clout in the region. 

Its historic center sits on five hills facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, while downstream are the two hamlets of Settimo and Taverna that represent the economic heart of the municipality. Travelers attuned to genius loci– the spirit of a place- and opera lovers undoubtedly embrace their passion there.
