The Antico Borgo villages of Calitri and Cairano are in Campania, a region very well known both in Italy and abroad as the homeland of pizza, mozzarella, and of romantic melodies. It is located in the center of Italy - halfway between the ruins of Pompeii and the Amalfi coast to the west and Magna Graecia to the east. The area around Calitri and Cairano are sprinkled with castles, aristocratic palazzos and delightful locations soaked in history and tradition, ridged with hills and valleys and marked by the ancient trails along which Hannibal and his legions marched when setting off to attack ancient Rome 2,000 years ago.

Twenty centuries later, these lands are still completely intact, untouched by the massive urbanization and industrialization common to most rural areas in Italy and Europe today. Here, visitors can wander around and re-discover ancient worlds, visit abbeys and monasteries reminiscent of times gone by, enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine and wine, bask in the sun, and fill their time with exciting sports and cultural activities. This combination of factors make Calitri and Cairano unique holiday locations where homebuyers can go to switch off and recharge their batteries.

The "Antico Borgo'' is structurally a labyrinth of ancient palazzos, rustic ironwork, marble stairways and esngravings. The houses have thick stone walls designed to seal cold or warm air in, making the internal ambiance more comfortable depending on the season. Its wine cellars, meandering medieval passageways, chiseled entranceways, marble engravings, sun-kissed courtyards and rooftops are a snapshot of a bygone area. The Borgo has the added bonus of a unique view over the valley.

The "Antico Borgo Calitri'' escaped the industrialization and urbanization common to many other attractive holiday locations in Italy and Europe also because its enlightened local city council actively sought to promote its economy by fostering intelligent tourism and by protecting the town's environment and its cultural and artistic heritage. In fact, the mayor and the local city council are aiming to restore and rekindle life into the medieval hamlet and energize its economy, while at the same time preserve the town's architectural, gastronomical and cultural traditions. The houses and apartments being sold will remain true to the hamlet's old world style and rely as much as possible on original materials and architecture, yet at the same time are relatively inexpensive and extremely attractive for their price. Above all, foreign homebuyers and tourists are welcomed by locals and by the town council for their contributions to the economy and to the preservation of the village.
