Trecase: Historic Church, Craters and Vineyard

Trecase combines historical sites, volcanic landscapes and agricultural discoveries. The historic centre is home to the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie, while paths and environmental education activities in the Tirone Alto Vesuvio protected forest point to a nature-focused stay. There are also visible small craters from the 18th century, as well as a 16-hectare vineyard on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Trecase can therefore easily choose between culture, forest, landscape and regional agriculture as the focus of their holiday.

Discover historic Trecase

The historic centre of Trecase is home to the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie, which dates back to the 16th century. The present building was erected in 1589 in place of an earlier chapel. Another significant step in its history followed on 14 September 2014, when the parish was elevated to the diocesan shrine of Santa Maria delle Grazie e San Gennaro.

Villa Langella is also one of the villas in Trecase that can be visited or admired. This gives your travel planning another cultural point of interest alongside a visit to the church. Those who enjoy looking at historic buildings can make a note of these names and shape their stay in Trecase around their own interests.

Forest trails, craters and environmental education

Guided tours of the stone pine and holm oak forest start at the forestry station in Trecase. In the Tirone Alto Vesuvio protected forest reserve, the network includes numerous paths that are easy for adults and children of all ages to walk. Environmental education activities also take place in the reserve throughout the year. Families can plan a quieter nature experience here, while children and adults explore the landscape together.

Several small adventive craters from the 18th century are visible near the populated area of Trecase. They add a geological aspect to the nature experiences and demonstrate how closely the town is connected with the landscape of Mount Vesuvius. When choosing accommodation, it can therefore be decisive whether you would rather focus on historical impressions, guided forest tours or walks in a volcanic landscape.

Winegrowing and regional specialities

Cantina del Vesuvio is located in the open countryside outside the village of Trecase, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Its associated vineyard covers 16 hectares and is planted with the native grape varieties Piedirosso and Caprettone. Tours of this vineyard give winegrowing a firm place in local travel planning. The volcanic soil is just as much part of the vineyard’s description as its location on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius.

Pellecchiella is one of the Vesuvian apricot varieties associated with Trecase. Together with the vineyard, this variety points to an agricultural side of the town that goes beyond its purely tourist attractions. If you are looking for a holiday apartment that allows you to plan your days independently, you can therefore also consider Trecase from the perspective of regional products and rural landscapes.

Travel and suitable holiday planning

Trecase is served by the Circumvesuviana railway and a bus service. You can take these connections into account when planning your journey before deciding on accommodation. Choose your holiday apartment or holiday home according to the focus you want to give your holiday in Trecase.
