Overview
Tenuta Torre Gaia stands on a hill of 113 hectares at Dugenta, in the Province of Benevento, in the Sannio hills of inland Campania. Much of the estate is planted to vines and worked by the property itself.
The house is an early twentieth-century country residence, restored in a country idiom and now run as a hotel: the rooms and suites occupy the historic body of the building.
History
The archive entry describes the estate as a substantial early twentieth-century residence — una maestosa dimora dei primi del Novecento — later restored and given over to hospitality alongside winemaking. No further dates are recorded in the original Italian text, and none have been added here.
What you see
The Donna Giulia restaurant occupies the original body of the building, with wide windows onto the outdoor pool. Its kitchen works in the Sannio and Campanian tradition and is paired with the wines of the estate and of the surrounding hills.
Large halls seating up to 350 people are used for receptions, meetings and conferences.
Practical information
- Address: Via Boscocupo 11, 82030 Dugenta (BN), Campania.
- The estate is a working winery as well as a hotel: visits and tastings depend on the season and on the day’s events.
