Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Loreta, within the Comune of Falconara Albanese, this charming first-floor apartment offers an authentic taste of rural Calabria, with beautiful panoramic mountain and sea views.
Approximately one hour north of Lamezia Terme Airport, Falconara Albanese is a traditional Italian village with narrow streets, stone-built homes and a fascinating Albanian heritage. Local amenities include a grocery store, café/bar, pizzeria and post office, with several festivals held throughout the year.
The property was originally a family home and has since been divided into three apartments. The apartment for sale measures approximately 40 sqm, plus a small terrace enjoying the wonderful views.
