Holiday apartment in Pagania Vallonecupo: Hills, Sila and olive oil

Holiday apartment in Pagania Vallonecupo: Landscape and character

Pagania Vallonecupo lies in hilly terrain at approximately 600 metres above sea level. The Sila Mountains lie behind Pagania Vallonecupo. The terrain in the locality is hilly, while the Sila Mountains behind it form the mountainous backdrop. A holiday apartment in Pagania Vallonecupo is therefore situated in a landscape characterised by the hills at the location and the Sila Mountains in the background.

Hilly landscape and olive cultivation

The landscape is complemented by a microclimate favourable to olive cultivation. In Pagania Vallonecupo, this locally characteristic climate is associated with olive cultivation. The agricultural connection leads from the microclimate to regional foods. Olive oil and Calabrian spices thus add a culinary dimension to the landscape. In addition to its elevation and the Sila backdrop, the hilly landscape therefore also has a clear connection to agriculture.

Church and contemporary art

Pagania Vallonecupo is home to the Chiesa Natività Maria SS. The church is associated with a Sunday Mass at 11 a.m. The MACA – Museo Arte Contemporanea Acri is located in Palazzo Sanseverino in Acri. While the church is in Pagania Vallonecupo, the museum is located in Palazzo Sanseverino within the municipality of Acri. Those interested in culture therefore have two distinct cultural subjects before them: a sacred site and a museum of contemporary art.

Music and typical products

At the first edition of “Contrade in Festa”, residents and tourists came together for music and tastings of typical products. Pagania Vallonecupo was involved in organising this first edition. Music, social interaction and typical products were therefore part of the festivities. The combination of music and tastings connects cultural events with regional products. For Pagania Vallonecupo, this means that alongside the church and museum, there is also a specific event featuring music and tastings within the cultural sphere.
