The best area to stay in Castrolibero is the historic centre, known locally as "Castello".This area is perched on a hill, offering views of the surrounding countryside. It's characterised by narrow, winding streets, stone buildings, and a quiet, ancient feel. The Castello itself, a medieval fortress, is the main landmark, and the area around Piazza Madre Teresa di Calcutta serves as a central gathering point with a few local shops and eateries.For couples seeking a romantic and tranquil escape, the historic centre is ideal. You'll find charming guesthouses and apartments converted from old stone dwellings. It's superb for leisurely strolls, enjoying local cuisine, and experiencing the authentic pace of life in a Calabrian hill town.Families might prefer the newer, more accessible areas just below the historic centre, often referred to as "Andreotta" or along "Via Roma." These areas offer more modern accommodation options, often with easier parking and larger spaces.
