Discover Acquavella: Old Streets and Olive Groves

Acquavella Between Village Character and Landscape

Acquavella is located in the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. As you pass through Acquavella’s old streets, you can see that much of the walls and paths seems to have remained largely untouched by the passage of time. This gives you a tangible way to experience a place where historical traces and the landscape of Cilento can be discovered together.

Old Houses and Historical Traces

Palazzo Severini is one of the old houses in the Pere Casale area of Acquavella. The ducal tower once belonged to the Sanfelice family. If you are interested in architectural history and the established character of small Italian towns, you can include these two buildings in your walk through Acquavella.

A Festival with Cheese and Traditional Dishes

Zomba ra cà e ra là is an event held over several evenings, usually taking place during the second week of August. On this occasion, cheese-making is presented in a representative format. In addition, food stalls are set up where traditional dishes can be sampled. If you like to plan your trip to Italy around a special date, this event offers a tangible connection to the local food culture.

Christmas-Themed Spaces in the Historic Centre

La Casa di Babbo Natale is located in the historic centre of Acquavella. The complex includes a fairytale garden, regarded as the place where Santa Claus keeps his reindeer. It also has a room where you can write letters and hand your wishes to the elves. Visitors who appreciate narrated themes and a story of their own will find a distinctive perspective on the town centre here. This place can be included in your personal plans, particularly if you are travelling with an interest in Christmas experiences.
