Area Mare

Le Querce is located in the picturesque area of the Procida Lighthouse, a tranquil spot immersed in lush Mediterranean vegetation. Here, time moves slowly amid the scent of the sea and the rustle of the breeze through the trees, providing an ideal retreat for those looking to unwind and enjoy an authentic experience on the island. The port is just a 15-20 minute walk away, while the lighthouse rocks are only 200 meters distant. The famous Postino beach, made famous by the film featuring Massimo Troisi, is a mere 10-15 minute stroll from the location.

Nearby, there is a deli and a greengrocer that offer home delivery upon request. Additionally, a bus stop is conveniently located just 500 meters away, making it easy to get around. For those wishing to explore the island in a more active manner, scooters or bicycles can be rented, ideal for reaching every corner of this Mediterranean gem.

Procida, the smallest of the Neapolitan islands, has preserved its authentic spirit. Its history dates back to the Mycenaean era, and the charm of this territory is still felt today in its colorful streets, breathtaking views, and centuries-old traditions. The island, with its seven visible craters along the coast, boasts 14 kilometers of coastline featuring coves, golden beaches, and inlets that can only be accessed by sea. Procida's compact size allows for easy exploration on foot, enabling visitors to appreciate its beauty in every season.

The sea, the undisputed star of the island, is just a short distance from our property and invites guests to dive into its crystal-clear waters or relax under the sun. The beaches, characterized by dark volcanic sand, present various landscapes: some are made of fine sand, others are pebbly, and some are accessible only by water, offering a unique experience for those who love to explore.

The island's culinary scene is also a major highlight: fresh fish reigns supreme at the dining table, complemented by the aromas of the land and local products like the Procida lemon, recognized among the national traditional products. Don't miss the famous Lingue di Procida, fragrant sweets filled with lemon cream, and the local wine, still produced using artisanal methods today.

Procida is deeply connected to its traditions, expressed through religious celebrations and folkloric events. The Good Friday Procession of the Mysteries is one of the most significant occasions, a moving ritual that involves the entire community. Meanwhile, the Sagra del Mare celebrates the island's maritime spirit with cultural events, music, and the election of the Graziella, a figure inspired by the famous novel by Alphonse de Lamartine.

For culture enthusiasts, Procida hosts events such as the Elsa Morante Literary Prize and Procida Portoni Aperti, which allows visitors to explore the magnificent courtyards of historic buildings. Culinary events like the Lemon Festival and the Wine Festival are unmissable opportunities to savor the island’s flavors. To bid farewell to each summer, two special events welcome and thank visitors: Benvenuta Estate and Arrivederci Estate, two celebrations that honor the beauty and hospitality of Procida.
