Casa Giufà is located in the village of Gallicianò: an authentic, quiet place, far from services always at hand. A minimum of organization before coming up makes the stay simpler and more peaceful.
Before arriving in Gallicianò, we recommend purchasing water, snacks, personal products, any medicines, and what might be needed for children, the elderly, or guests with special needs.
In case of allergies, food intolerances, specific requests, or special needs, notify Elisa before arrival. She will be able to collect useful information and communicate it to Trattoria Nizio Paleò, when necessary.
A sweatshirt for the evening, comfortable shoes, a water bottle, and small personal products help to better experience the village, the trails, and the slow pace of Gallicianò.
Casa Giufà does not offer Wi-Fi and TV. It's not a hidden flaw: it's a precise choice. Fewer distractions, less noise, more silence, more sleep, more dialogue, and more attention to what Gallicianò makes you feel.
When the brain stops jumping between notifications and continuous stimuli, it begins to notice the place again: the scent of the earth, the sound of footsteps, the fiumara, the light on the stones, the simple flavors, and human time.
Discover why to slow downThis section serves a precise purpose: to let the guest understand who to contact and for what, without confusing hospitality, availability, and advice on the territory.

Giuseppe Zindato was born right in this house, when Gallicianò was lived with hands, steps, and senses: the stable under the house, the animals, the well water, the scents of cheeses, the fiumara and the mill reached as a boy to bathe.
After a life built in Reggio Calabria as an entrepreneur in the fruit trade and a football coach, Giuseppe recovered his father's house to give back to guests an authentic piece of his Gallicianò: nature, memory, simplicity, and silence.
Read our story"Here Greece is not a distant memory. It has remained in the names, in the stones, in the paths, and in the language itself of the people."
Gallicianò, Bova, Amendolea, Condofuri: places where the ancient Grecanic language still resonates among the stone houses and the fiumara. A protected, isolated, and preserved area. One of the last pockets of Magna Graecia to survive through the centuries.
Discover the history
You arrive by car from the Statale 106 Jonica, taking the Condofuri exit and then following the signs for Gallicianò. The road is a typical Calabrian mountain road, with curves and spectacular landscapes. A car with good traction is recommended. From Reggio Calabria about 1h30.
It depends on the chosen trail. The tour of the village and the walk to the Grecanic stone are suitable for everyone, including children. The Englishman's Trail and the descent towards the Amendolea Fiumara require adequate physical preparation and trekking shoes. Contact Giuseppe to choose the right path.
We recommend Trattoria Nizio Paleò, located in the village itself. It is an authentic home-style Greco-Calabrian cuisine, with dishes based on local products.
