Palazzo - Edificio in Jelsi

The area sits in the Molise interior on rolling hills below the Matese mountains, which form the main landscape reference to the south-west. The Biferno valley is the nearest main river corridor in this part of the province. Campobasso is the nearest town of size, with a regional administrative centre, services and a preserved historic core with the Castello Monforte above it. The Matese massifs and the Campitello Matese ski lifts are the nearest skiing, roughly an hour’s drive depending on the exact route. Jelsi is known locally for the Festa del Grano, with floats and structures made from wheat ears.
