Zungoli: a village of stone between history and suggestion

Perched on a tufaceous hill, the village of Zungoli looks like a postcard of the past, where every corner tells a story.
Inserted in the prestigious club of the "most beautiful villages in Italy", Zungoli is a small jewel of Irpinia, with its maze of cobbled alleys and stone stairways that lead the visitor on a journey between past and present.
Walking through the streets of Zungoli, you have the feeling of entering a medieval story. The stone houses, the ancient arched doors and the stairways that connect the different levels of the village create an intimate and timeless atmosphere. The heart of the town is the Norman castle, which dominates the top of the hill and from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills.
Zungoli is a place that proudly preserves its authentic soul. The caves dug in the tuff, once used for the conservation of wine and cheeses, represent a symbol of the local tradition. The village is also a crossroads of historical routes, such as the Via Francigena del Sud, which for centuries has been seeing the passage of pilgrims and wayfarers.
In addition to the architectural charm, Zungoli offers a natural context of extraordinary beauty. The hills that surround it, the fragrant woods and the open panoramas on the Irpinian landscape invite moments of relaxation and contemplation. The village is also an ideal starting point for excursions and walking paths to discover uncontaminated nature.
Zungoli is not only a place to visit, but an experience to live. The scent of freshly baked bread, the sound of the steps on the cobbled alleys, the warmth of local hospitality make this village an unforgettable destination. Here, time seems to slow down, giving visitors the pleasure of discovery and the charm of tradition.
