Easter Monday 2027
in the countrysideMonday 29 March · 15 minutes from Avellino

Pasquetta in Irpinia

Where to spend Easter Monday near Avellino

In southern Italy, the Monday after Easter has one rule: you leave the city. Bellavigna is a country house with a restaurant in Montefalcione, fifteen minutes from Avellino, among Fiano and Greco vineyards — an easy day out from Naples, Salerno or Benevento (about an hour's drive).

For Easter Monday 2027, Monday 29 March, we're preparing a lunch built on the spring flavours of Irpinia, told through our cooking: tradition, local produce and technique. Format, menu and price will be published on this page as soon as they're ready.

You can already message us: whoever gets in touch now receives the menu first and has priority on tables, which are always few at Pasquetta.

What to expect

An Easter Monday with no rush

The menu changes every year; the spirit doesn't.

01

Green spaces and views

Panoramic gardens overlooking the hills of Irpinia, towards Montevergine. In 2026 Pasquetta took place between the lawn and food corners, at everyone's own pace.

02

Irpinian cooking, reinterpreted

The classics of a Campanian Easter Monday — from savoury Easter breads to local cheeses — revisited by our kitchen with seasonal produce from small producers.

03

Families, friends, groups

Tables of friends, families with children, larger groups: tell us how many you are when you write. Free parking in front of the property.
