L'Aia dei Cappellani

L'Aia dei Cappellani is an agriturismo situated on the outskirts of Trecchina, a mountain village near the Maratea coast in Basilicata, Italy. The estate occupies a restored old farmhouse featuring a stone threshing floor, a historic element reflecting the area’s agricultural heritage. The name 'Cappellani' traces back to the founding family, linked to a chaplain who donated a building for use as a chapel. The restaurant serves traditional Lucanian cuisine emphasizing local terroir, including dishes such as Antipasti Cappellano, tomato lasagna, Strascinate Lucanian style, grilled meats, and gnocchi with tomato. Meals are presented in a warm environment beneath beamed ceilings or within a covered outdoor dining area, fostering a familial atmosphere at reasonable prices. Accommodation options include comfortable cottages equipped with bathrooms, kitchenettes, and porches, surrounded by natural landscapes. Guests can enjoy horseback trekking through the nearby Maratea coast, Monte Sirino, and Pollino National Park. A playground for children and an on-site shop offering typical Lucanian products complete the agriturismo experience, blending natural beauty with cultural tradition.
