Trecase: Hotels Between History and Viticulture

If you are looking for a hotel in Trecase, you can shape your stay around three clearly distinct themes: the history of the town center, the Vesuvian landscape, and viticulture featuring local varieties. This makes it easier to decide whether a historic site, trails and environmental education, or a vineyard tour is more important for your trip. The following points show what Trecase offers for these interests. You can use them to assess the town according to your interests before looking for a hotel for your travel dates.

Church and Local History

The Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie is part of Trecase’s historic center. The church dates back to the 16th century and was built in 1589 in place of an earlier chapel. On September 14, 2014, the parish was elevated to the diocesan shrine of Santa Maria delle Grazie e San Gennaro. The construction date and the later elevation mark two distinct historical milestones: one dates the construction of the church, while the other marks the parish’s religious status. If you are interested in sacred heritage, Trecase offers both a precise building history and a later ecclesiastical designation. Villa Langella is also one of the villas in Trecase that visitors can admire.

Vesuvian Landscape and Trails

Another side of Trecase can be seen near the built-up area, where several small adventive craters dating from the 18th century are visible. This aspect of the landscape differs from the architectural and ecclesiastical history of the center and offers another point of reference when choosing a theme for your trip.

The Tirone Alto Vesuvio forest reserve has numerous trails. Environmental education activities take place there throughout the year. Before your trip, check which programs are currently on offer. Guided tours of the forest of maritime pines and holm oaks also start from the forestry station in Trecase; check the current schedule for these tours as well. This allows you to choose between trails and environmental education in the reserve and a guided tour of the forest.

Viticulture and Local Varieties

Cantina del Vesuvio is located in the open countryside around the village of Trecase, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. The winery offers tours of its 16-hectare vineyard. The vineyard is planted on volcanic soil with the native grape varieties Piedirosso and Caprettone. For wine enthusiasts, a tour here brings together specific features of the growing area: its size, the soil, and the two named varieties.

Pellecchiella is also one of the Vesuvian apricot varieties associated with Trecase; its seasonal availability may vary. This brings together different aspects of the local agricultural scene: the grape varieties of a particular vineyard and an apricot variety whose availability changes with the season.

Getting There and Choosing a Hotel

Trecase is served by the Circumvesuviana railway and a bus service. If you are considering either of these for your journey, check the schedules separately for your travel dates. When choosing a hotel, you can first decide what you want to focus on during your stay—local history, trails and environmental education, or viticulture—and then plan your journey.
