Abitazione a Gioia Sannitica (CE)

The Matese mountains rise immediately around Piedimonte Matese, with Monte Miletto and the higher ridge of the Campanian-Lazio Apennines close by. Lake Matese lies within the massif, and the area falls into the Parco Regionale del Matese. The nearest skiing is on the Bocca della Selva side of the Matese, roughly a 30-minute drive in normal conditions. Piedimonte Matese itself is the main town of this part of the massif, with services, schools and a working historic centre, and Caserta is the nearest larger city for higher-level services. The area is known for mountain pasture, beech woods, karst terrain and the Matese uplands.
