The Property — Bed & Breakfast La Torre
Bed & Breakfast La Torre occupies a converted noble palazzo on a quiet lane opposite the Roman Theatre, giving it a quiet, scholarly feel. The lobby is a tiled space with a stone staircase, a small front desk, and a few armchairs; the vibe is unpretentious and functional, aimed at history-minded travellers who want a central base without paying for frills. The three-star rating means thin walls and basic breakfast, but the location—steps from the Arch of Trajan and the Museo del Sannio—is genuinely unbeatable. It suits the independent traveller who values access over amenities.
Chronicles of Benevento
Benevento was founded as a Samnite stronghold and became a key Roman colony (Beneventum) in 268 BC, marked by Trajan’s triumphal arch still standing today. The city thrived as Lombard capital of the Duchy of Benevento from the 6th to 11th centuries, leaving a legacy of Romanesque churches and a puzzling Egyptian obelisk in the cathedral square. Its university, medieval streets, and 'strega' liqueur define its contemporary identity, though it remains a provincial hub and a quieter alternative to Naples. Today, Benevento balances its long history with a modest university scene and a strong regional culinary tradition.
Best Time to Visit
Full Benevento guide →Best months
May, September, October. Spring and early autumn offer 20-25°C days, blue skies, and fewer tourists than July/August. The city’s main events (like the Nostra Signora delle Grazie in early July) don’t overwhelm, so these months are ideal for quiet exploration.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are hottest (30°C+), but many locals holiday elsewhere. The Settimana della Cultura (often mid-April) and the Festa di San Bartolomeo on August 24 drive local pilgrimage, not mass tourism. Hotel prices rise 20-30% above low season, but you can still book 1-2 weeks ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April and November. April sees variable rain but mild temps (15-20°C) and lower rates; November is chilly (10-15°C) but cheap. Avoid November’s frequent rain unless you want empty museums.
Weather & packing
Benevento sits in a sheltered valley, so summer nights can stay sticky and hot—light linen is wise. June 27-28 averages 28°C high, 16°C low; pack a light jacket for evening, plus an umbrella: afternoon thunderstorms hit about 1 in 3 days in late June.
Live City Briefing — Benevento
- The Arch of Trajan is undergoing a cleaning and lighting upgrade (due to finish October 2026); expect scaffolding on one side but no access restrictions.
- A new direct bus service from Benevento station to the city’s medieval centre (Strettoia) began in April 2026, saving a 15-minute uphill walk.
- The Teatro Romano summer program runs nightly from mid-June through August, with opera and classical concerts; tickets are €8-15 and sell out on weekends.

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs (Bancomat) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist offices in town — they charge high fees and poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and hotels; contactless is common for smaller amounts, but many cafes and small shops prefer cash under €10.
Not expected — round up the bill in restaurants (leave a euro or two); taxi drivers appreciate rounding up to the next euro; hotel porters get a couple of euros for bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A caffè (espresso) at the bar counter costs about €1.10; standing is normal — sitting at a table doubles the price.
A panino (sandwich) or pizza al taglio (by the slice) with a drink from a bakery or bar will be around €5–7.
A pizza Margherita in a pizzeria costs about €6–8, a primi (pasta dish) around €8–10 — look for fixed-price menus (menu fisso) for €12–15.
Pizza al taglio, panzerotti (fried calzone), and pizze fritte (fried pizza) are common; the old town centre near Piazza Santa Sofia has several takeaway windows.
Budget supermarkets are Conad, Eurospin, and MD — all have branches in Benevento near the train station and along Corso Garibaldi.
The main shopping street Corso Garibaldi has affordable chain stores like OVS, Terranova and H&M; the weekly street market (Wednesday and Saturday morning) along Viale Principe di Napoli is cheaper for basics.
City buses are €1.30 for a single ticket (valid 90 min); a day pass costs €3.50 — buy from tabacchi. From the airport, take the direct bus to Piazza Pianeta (€2.50 each way).
Drink standing at the bar counter to halve coffee and drink prices. Buy bottled water and snacks at supermarkets, not at historic-site kiosks. Dine away from the main square (Piazza Roma) to avoid tourist mark-ups.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Benevento railway station (Piazza Colonna) → Hotel De La Ville (via Capitano Salvatore Pirozzi)

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.

Naples International Airport (NAP) → Benevento railway station
💡 Book online via Flixbus or Airexpress for best price. The bus stop at the airport is outside Terminal 1, exit door 3. Bus drops you at Piazza Vittoria Colonna – it's a 15-minute walk or short taxi to Hotel De La Ville.
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.
Benevento Central Station → Sant'Agata dei Goti (nearest station to Tenuta Jumara)
💡 Sant'Agata dei Goti station is a 2km uphill walk from the agriturismo—take a €5 local bus or arrange pickup. Check Trenitalia App for real-time delays.
Naples Capodichino Airport (bus stop outside arrivals) → Benevento Piazza Vari (Via dei Sanniti)
💡 Get off at Piazza Vari, then catch local bus #5 or #7 towards Pastene/San Leucio to reach the agriturismo — it's a 15-minute ride. Check FlixBus app for real-time stops as some services skip this route in winter.
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.
