Campolattaro is one of those villages that surprise visitors with its genuine simplicity and deep connection to nature. Perched on a hill overlooking the Tammaro River valley, the village stands out for its panoramic position and its impressive medieval castle that has watched over the area for centuries. Its history dates back to Norman times, and strolling through its narrow stone alleys feels like leafing through the pages of an ancient book. Yet Campolattaro also looks to the future: nearby lies one of the largest artificial reservoirs in Campania, Lake Campolattaro, created by a dam on the Tammaro River.
This body of water has become a nature reserve rich in wildlife and a popular spot for hiking and outdoor activities. The village preserves its agricultural roots, with religious festivals and food fairs that enliven the squares during the summer. The welcome is warm, and every visit is an opportunity to enjoy peace, local products, and the simple beauty of a still-undiscovered place. Campolattaro is the essence of the most authentic Sannio, to be discovered slowly.
