Monte Padro is on the ridge that defines the border between the communes of Olmi-Cappella to the north and Asco to the south.[1][2] The ridge slopes down to the east into the island's central valley.[2] The village of Asco is to the southeast of the mountain. The Asco river runs past the south of the mountain, with the D147 road running parallel to the road.[1]
