In the heart of Calabria, perched across five hills nestled among olive groves and vineyards, lies Montalto Uffugo, one of the region’s most authentic yet lesser-known towns to visit in Calabria. The historic center, set at 430 meters above sea level, rises over a patchwork of lush hills, offering breathtaking views and an atmosphere suspended between the past and flourishing nature.
It’s not your typical tourist destination, but rather a place where history, culture, and music—thanks in part to composer Leoncavallo—blend in perfect harmony. Perfect for travelers seeking the true essence of Calabria, far from the crowds, Montalto invites you to wander its alleys and breathe in the scents of tradition. Let yourself be embraced by the green landscapes, the history, and the rich local culture—an experience to savor with all your senses.
