Description of the location
Montefalcone nel Sannio is a charming village nestled on the slopes of Mount La Rocchetta, at an altitude of 659 meters above sea level, in the province of Campobasso in the Molise region. It is home to approximately 1,300 residents.
Perched atop a hill, Montefalcone nel Sannio captivates with its cobblestone streets, winding steeply down to the main square, stone houses with portals and original architecture, balconies and windows adorned with colorful blooming geraniums, petunias, and salvias.
Like everywhere in Italy, there are traces of ancient times and historical events here. For example, the ruins of the Samnite fortress-sanctuary located near the town are associated with the battles and encampments of Hannibal's army marching to Cannae in 216 BC (the date itself evokes awe).
Today, life in Montefalcone nel Sannio flows calmly, without unnecessary hustle and bustle, but with a taste for life: buying freshly made pasta from a familiar owner in a nearby shop, selecting freshly caught fish or seafood at the pescheria, and just-picked vegetables, fruits, and herbs at the corner store. After a hearty lunch, enjoy coffee, bitter liqueur, and catch up on local news at the bar, where everyone knows you and awaits your visit.
For those who come for holidays and love an active lifestyle, there are walking or cycling routes, and the sea is just half an hour away by car along a good road.
