Private Tours - Personal Guides

The Irpinia area of Campania preserves the authentic charm of a place suspended in time — poetic, untouched, and genuine — where small villages unfold among rolling hills, deeply rooted traditions, and outstanding local food and wine heritage. This is a destination still largely undiscovered by mass tourism, yet capable of offering truly authentic emotions and landscapes of rare beauty.

These lands remain deeply connected to spirituality and devotion, as evidenced by the evocative Abbey of Goleto, which you will visit together with your expert guide. Founded in 1133, it gradually expanded into a true monastic citadel, hosting both a male and a female convent. During the 13th century, under the leadership of Mother Abbess Febronia, the complex reached its peak, enriched with new sacred buildings and precious religious artworks.

The progressive depopulation of the region unfortunately led to a slow abandonment of the site; however, over the last few decades, thanks to renewed interest from religious communities, the Abbey — now fascinating in its monumental ruins — has once again become a place of peace, silence, and spirituality, an ideal destination for those seeking a deeply restorative experience far from the crowds.

After this immersive visit, you will continue to the nearby village of Montemarano, a heartland of Irpinian traditions and renowned wine culture. Your guide will recommend the finest local restaurants and wineries where you can enjoy an authentic gastronomic experience, featuring regional specialties and excellent local wines. The surrounding scenery — vineyards, gentle hills, and historic villages — will make this day truly unforgettable, blending culture, nature, and flavors into one remarkable journey.
