Geography
San Costantino Albanese sits on a hilltop overlooking the Sarmento Valley and is located across the valley from San Paolo Albanese. The Sarmento River is a dry rock-strewn riverbed during the summer but can be a torrent during the winter rains. The two towns are two miles apart but the path through the river valley by road is about 5 miles.
The village is bordered by the towns of Alessandria del Carretto (CS), Cersosimo, Noepoli, San Paolo Albanese and Terranova di Pollino.
It is also adjacent to Pollino National Park.
