Description
  The rustic 57 hectare farm, “San Fele”, sits on the slopes of Mt. Sellaro in the National Park of Pollino, with a commanding view of the Ionian Sea a short distance to the south east and the Sila mountains to the south.
  The farmhouse ("masseria") and the farm's stable and sheepfold, all recently restored to preserve their original rustic wood and stone qualities, sit against the slope surrounded by age-old olive trees.
  Guests are welcome to hike the old mule tracks that cross the pristine area and to explore the caves, which were once the hideaways of the brigands who used to roam the territory.  In summer, a hike up the Raganello River bed, or a horseback ride in the National Park of Pollino, or a visit to the archaeological sites in Sibari are recommended.
  The hosts offer traditional Calabrian foods, including olive oils, cheeses, salamis, honey, figs and vegetables, all produced without chemicals.
