Holiday apartment in Sangineto: Coast, Pollino and medieval townscape

A holiday apartment in Sangineto can suit a trip that combines a medieval townscape, the coast, forest landscapes and specific excursion destinations. The historic center of Sangineto has a typically medieval layout and connects Sangineto Lido on the Riviera dei Cedri with the first foothills of the Pollino. This gives you different focuses for planning your trip: exploring the town, experiencing the landscape and enjoying the developed coastal strip of Sangineto Lido.

Castello del Principe and medieval traces

Castello del Principe dates from the 15th century and was built by the Sanseverino di Bisignano princes. It is located at the mouth of the Sangineto River. The Chiesa Matrice di S. Maria della Neve also adds a historic accent: it has a 14th-century portal made of tuff. In addition, the remains of the Convento di San Francesco di Paola date back to 1558. Those interested in architectural forms, materials and earlier periods will therefore find several specific destinations in Sangineto for a culturally focused day trip.

Lake, forests and a hike on Monte Cannitello

Lago Penna provides a striking contrast to the medieval townscape. It is a small karst lake in a pine forest surrounded by beech forests. The area around Lago Penna is suitable for outdoor picnics and thus offers an opportunity for a more peaceful activity between other excursions. A hike to the summit of the Monte Cannitello massif is more active. The trail is of moderate difficulty and offers views of the upper Tyrrhenian coast of the Province of Cosenza as well as the dense inland forests of Parco del Pollino. The moderate difficulty of the trail can be usefully taken into account in advance when planning a trip to Monte Cannitello.

Views and local products

Cozzo La Limpa offers impressive views in the area around Sangineto. Timpa di Civita also offers impressive views in the area around Sangineto. Both destinations add further perspectives on the surroundings to the landscape experiences. A tasting of local products is also planned as part of an excursion in Sangineto.
