Holiday apartment in Brattiro' – Fiumara, culture and Calabrian cuisine

Brattirò combines nature observation, sacred history, Calabrian cuisine and vibrant traditions. Between the Fiumara di Brattirò watercourse, historical traces and events, you will find various starting points for planning your trip. When choosing a holiday apartment in Brattiro', you can therefore consider whether you would prefer your days to be shaped by the landscape, culture, regional cuisine or festivals.

Terraced setting above the Tyrrhenian Sea

Brattirò is located on one of three inhabited terraces that belong to the SAC area and extend above the Tyrrhenian Sea. The village lies at an altitude of 370 m. This geographical setting makes Brattirò interesting for travellers looking for a place with a strong connection to the landscape and wishing to divide their holiday between experiences in nature and discoveries in the village.

Sacred history and archaeological traces

The Chiesa di San Cosma e Damiano is a noteworthy church in Brattirò, a hamlet belonging to Drapia. The local sacred history also includes a small chapel possibly built in the 16th century. It has survived to this day and is integrated into a single-nave church built in 1929 in the Santu Cocimeu area at the entrance to the village.

The surrounding area of Brattirò also contains traces of settlements and ruins from Magna Graecia and the Roman era. Those interested in history can therefore combine their stay with cultural discoveries without having to follow an exclusively museum-focused itinerary.

Fiumara di Brattirò and Mulino Livasì

The nature trail along the Fiumara di Brattirò allows you to view the approximately 13-kilometre-long watercourse up close. The trail also includes the ruins of the 18th-century Mulino Livasì mill. The watercourse and the historic building thus jointly represent an approach that combines an interest in nature with cultural history.

Calabrian cuisine and olive oil

The La Campagnola restaurant at the Il Vigneto agriturismo in Brattirò serves traditional Calabrian dishes such as “fileja cu u sucu”, “milingiani chini” and “pipi e patate”. Another culinary destination is Oleificio Rossi, an agricultural business and olive mill that offers tastings and experience-oriented tours. This allows regional cuisine and olive oil to be included as distinct focuses in your trip planning.

Festivals and artistic events

The Sagra del Vino is an annual event in Brattirò and takes place on 10 August. “Bratiria ’nta chiazza” is a street art and tradition festival in Brattirò, which reached its 11th edition on 22 August 2026. The cultural association Le Tarme, founded on 6 September 2010 in Brattirò di Drapia, organises artistic events in which local residents and tourists actively participate.
