About
The Aia dei Cappellani lies in Trecchina, a charming mountain town near the coast of Maratea.
This medieval village boasts renowned trades such as ironworking, ceramics, and pastry making, as well as a rich gastronomic tradition centered around bread and chestnuts. A must-visit spot along the winding road from Maratea through the forest, L'aia dei Cappellani farmhouse offers a cozy atmosphere and affordable prices for indulging in traditional dishes. Its comfortable apartments come equipped with bathrooms, kitchenettes, and porches. Once an old farmhouse situated amidst stunning scenery, it was named after the nearby threshing floor where local farmers and landowners gathered to grain. As per family tradition, all descendants are known as "Chaplains" after their great-great-grandfather who generously donated a ruined building to the church that later became a small chapel. Visitors can not only enjoy overnight accommodations and refreshments at this farmhouse but also explore the natural beauty of the surrounding area on horseback or through trekking along ancient shepherds' trails that span from Maratea's shores to Monte Sirino and Pollino Park.
