The Property — B&B Pacifico
B&B Pacifico is a modest three-star set in a quiet residential street, a short walk from Benevento’s Roman arch and cathedral. The interior is clean and dated in a functional, non-pretentious way – think tiled floors, sturdy wooden furniture and a small breakfast room with a coffee machine. Its USP is genuine value: a simple base for exploring the historic centre without paying for hotel extras you won’t use. Suits independent travellers or couples who want a decent bed, a reliable breakfast and a daily dose of local life.
Chronicles of Benevento
Benevento was founded as the Samnite town Maloenton, then became the Roman colony Beneventum in 268 BC – Trajan’s Arch, one of the city’s defining landmarks, marks the start of the Via Traiana. The Lombards made it the capital of a powerful duchy from the 6th to 11th centuries, leaving behind the Chiesa di Santa Sofia, a UNESCO World Heritage site with a striking star-shaped plan. A devastating Allied bombing in 1943 destroyed much of the medieval fabric, so today’s centre mixes rebuilt post-war blocks with surviving Roman and Lombard fragments. Modern Benevento is a sleepy provincial capital, known locally for Strega liqueur, a strong, minty digestif produced here since 1860. Its identity is proudly conservative and family-oriented, with a lively evening passeggiata along Corso Garibaldi.
Best Time to Visit
Full Benevento guide →Best months
May and September: warm days (20-25°C), low rainfall, and tourists thin out after Easter and before Ferragosto. October is also good for mild weather and autumn colours.
Peak / festival surge
August is the absolute peak – Italians holiday en masse, temperatures hit 30-35°C, and half the city closes for Ferragosto (15 August). Hotel prices in Benevento can double, driven by demand from nearby coastal resorts and the annual Festa delle Streghe (witch festival) in late August.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the best shoulder months: rooms 20-30% cheaper than August, temperatures 15-20°C, and crowds minimal. April still risks rain, but October usually stays dry until late month.
Weather & packing
Benevento sits in a valley, so summer afternoons can feel stifling, but evenings often cool suddenly with a breeze from the Apennines. Pack a light jacket or pashmina for after-dark walks – shorts and a T-shirt alone won’t cut it at 10pm.
Live City Briefing — Benevento
- The central Piazza Castello is pedestrianised as of late 2025, so taxis and cars now drop visitors at Viale dei Rettori – expect a 5-minute walk to B&B Pacifico.
- A new direct bus line from Benevento railway station to the historic centre started in March 2026, frequency every 30 minutes until 22:00.
- Strega Alberti’s headquarters on Via delle Fonti opened a small visitor centre in early 2026 offering tasting sessions – booking essential for summer slots.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B Pacifico, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Via del Pomerio). These floors sit above the street-level bustle but are still within easy staircase reach—the lift is slow and small. The courtyard side is noticeably quieter than the street side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (directly above the reception/breakfast area—can pick up early morning chair scraping and coffee machine noise) and any room with a window overlooking the main street (Via del Pomerio), which gets traffic noise from scooters and delivery vans starting from 7am.
Best views
Rooms on the south side (towards the courtyard) have a pleasant view of the hotel's small lemon garden; the north side (street) offers a view of the stone church of Santa Sofia—pretty, but with traffic below.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest—they are high enough to avoid street-level racket but low enough that the lift motor (which is audible on the 4th floor) doesn't reach you.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is the main issue: Benevento's historic centre gets busy with scooters and the weekly market (Wednesday mornings) sets up 100m away. The lift is manual and grind-y—you'll hear it from the adjacent rooms on the 4th floor.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a room with a 'balcone interno' (inner balcony)—these are only on the 2nd floor and give you a tiny outdoor space. 2) If you have a car, park at the 'Parcheggio Via Port'Arsa' (€1.50/hour, free overnight); the hotel's own parking is a tight alley paid spot.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR

Major credit/debit cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and supermarkets; contactless is common. Cash is still needed for small bars, market stalls, and some trattorias.
Not expected. Leave small change (€1-2) for good service in restaurants; round up taxi fares; tip hotel staff €1-2 per bag or for housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at a local bar: around €1.00-1.20; standing at the counter is cheaper than sitting.
Panino or pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) from a bakery or bar: about €4-6 with a drink.
Pasta dish at a simple trattoria: around €10-13 for a main without drink.
Look for forno (bakery) or rosticceria (rotisserie) near Corso Garibaldi for cheap pizza, arancini, and fried snacks.
Conad, Decò, or MD Discount supermarkets are common and affordable.
Via dei Mulini and the central streets have chain stores like OVS and Upim; the weekly market (Saturday morning near Piazza Risorgimento) is good for basics.
Buy a bus day pass (€2.50) from tabacchi. For the airport (Naples Capodichino), take the direct bus (€10-12 one way) — avoid taxis.
Buy lunch at a supermarket or bakery rather than a sit-down restaurant. Drink coffee at the bar counter. Use the walkable historic centre instead of buses for short trips.

Hotel De La Ville (via Capitano Salvatore Pirozzi) → Benevento historic centre (Piazza Castello / Arco di Traiano)
💡 Line 3 is useful for sightseeing – it connects the hotel area to the Roman theatre and Duomo. On Sundays, buses run until 13:00 only; after that, plan for a 20-minute walk downhill into town.
Piazza Orsini, Benevento → Via Casale (near Tenuta Jumara)
💡 Bus line #6 stops closest, but it's infrequent on weekends. Walk 800m from the 'Casale' stop—bring a torch if returning late; the lane has no streetlights.
Benevento Via Dante (opposite the station) → Azienda Agrituristica La Vecchia Trainella (via S.S. 7, stop: 'Valentino')
💡 Buy a ticket from the tabacchi at Piazza Dante — drivers don't sell them. The stop is on the main road; look for a small wooden sign for the agriturismo about 100m down a gravel track. No Sunday service after 14:00.
Naples Capodichino Airport (NAP) → Tenuta Jumara, Benevento
💡 Book a fixed fare via Welcome Pickups or ask your host to arrange a local driver—you avoid surge pricing and can split cost with up to 4 people.

Benevento Centrale railway station (Piazza Dante) → Benevento Ponte Valentino (closest station to La Vecchia Trainella)
💡 This stop is just 1 km from the agriturismo. Ask the stationmaster for the next train to Ponte Valentino — it's a minor stop so not all services call there. After 21:30, you'll need a taxi.

Naples International Airport (NAP) → Hotel De La Ville & Centro Congressi
💡 Fix the fare before you ride – official white taxis from the rank charge around €90-110. For peace of mind, book a transfer service like NCC (Noleggio con Conducente) via the hotel concierge; it’ll cost €100-120 but avoids meter games.

Top Attractions in Benevento
💡 Go early morning to avoid tour groups. The cloister behind the church (free) has a small lapidary museum open some mornings.

💡 Visit late afternoon when the low sun picks out the carvings clearly. No crowds most days.
