Palazzo Petrilli
In the historic center of Trevico, the highest municipality in Irpinia and the birthplace of director Ettore Scola, lies Palazzo Petrilli, an ancient residence dating back to the 1300s, which has been carefully restored to maintain its authenticity. Inside, a system of accessible caves houses natural pools fed by spring water, providing a rare example of history and nature beautifully intertwined.
The view from the heights of Trevico is expansive and captivating: the gaze sweeps across the Ufita valley and, on clearer days, reaches towards both the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas. This landscape once enchanted Horace, who paused here during one of his travels. Strolling through the stone alleys and ancient houses, one can feel a timeless atmosphere where daily life intertwines with tales from distant eras.
Those who choose to stay at Palazzo Petrilli will find a warm and genuine welcome. Ciriaco, the caretaker of the residence, passionately guides guests in exploring the palace and the surrounding area, eagerly sharing local traditions, stories, and hidden views. Every experience here stems from a desire to showcase a still authentic corner of Irpinia, amidst clean air, tranquility, nature, and culture.
