The Cilento National Park

Imagine crossing a landscape where every corner tells a story, where birdsong mingles with the scent of wild plants. This is the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park, one of the hidden gems of Campania, rich in biodiversity and archaeological sites, silent witnesses of ancient civilisations.

The Park’s Biodiversity

Cilento is a true paradise for nature lovers, with a variety of flora and fauna that few places in the world can offer. Here, the green of centuries-old trees intertwines with the vivid colours of wild orchids.

With its trails winding between ancient ruins and breathtaking views, the park offers endless possibilities for exploration. As you walk, you might imagine being a traveller from the past, discovering the same land that nourished civilisations thousands of years ago. And for those who love a challenge, why not try a hike up Monte Cervati? The view from the summit is something you won’t easily forget.

Here, the Mediterranean diet takes shape in simple yet flavourful dishes, such as the famous “fusilli al ferretto” with meat sauce and “pasta e patate alla cilentana”, a delicious embrace of local flavours.
