There are twice daily bus services to Salerno, Naples and Rome and the University town of Cosenza is less than an hour away. Castrovillari has a population of 25,000, and everything you would expect  from a town of that size: pubs, restaurants, pizzerias, two cinemas, a theatre, sports clubs and gyms, a disco, a riding stable and even a small aviation school.
