Caccuri, a castle in the Sila hills of Crotone province

Caccuri is a hill village on the eastern side of the Sila, in the province of Crotone, at around six hundred and fifty metres. The centre gathers beneath the castle that overlooks the houses, surrounded by woods, olive groves and fields running down to the valleys. Crotone and the Ionian coast are where people go for the hospital, offices and work, along hill roads that make journeys longer.

Buyers find masonry houses in the old centre, often on several levels and needing renovation, and newer homes in the expansion areas. For old houses the roof, damp and the wiring and plumbing are key; for all of them, the slope and car access. The report measures the elevation and gradient of the plot and checks the official landslide maps, useful on hillside land like this.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,537 residents in 2023, down 9.3% since 2011. The average age is 46.4 against 44.3 for the province, with over-65s at 27.0% and foreign residents at 3.3%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The 27 municipalities of the province of Crotone are all in seismic zone 2; in Caccuri the expected ground acceleration is 0.213 g. For an old stone or brick building, have a surveyor check the structure before you sign.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the land parcel from the address.
