A journey through tradition and culture
If you stay at the Casale Trifoglio B&B, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the wonderful Arbëreshë villages located just a few kilometers away, as the owner, Dina, belongs to the Arbëreshë community of Frascineto. These villages, like Frascineto and Civita, preserve a rich Albanian culture reflected in their customs, traditions, and religious traditions.
Frascineto
Start your tour with a visit to Frascineto, a charming village known for its Arbëreshë gastronomic traditions. Don’t forget to visit the Museum of Dolls and Icons, as well as the splendid Church of Santa Maria Assunta, where you can admire the numerous icons and experience religious services according to the Greek-Byzantine rite.
Civita
Then continue to Civita, an equally charming village that will surprise you with its breathtaking views, such as the Raganello Gorges and the Devil’s Bridge. Here you can immerse yourself in Arbëreshë culture and savor the local cuisine, a unique experience that will bring you even closer to the history and traditions of this land.
The beauty of the Arbëreshë villages lies in their oriental charm, with churches rich in icons and a strong cultural identity evident in the smallest details. Religious services in Greek and Albanian will transport you to an ancient and evocative world.
