Cava dei Tirreni

The city of Cava dei Tirreni is actually 50,000+ but the small medievil hamlet of Badia de Cava surrounds the 1000 (next year milleniul celebration 1011-2011) year old Benedictine monestary, Holy Trinity one of the oldest religous communities in southern Italy. While the church retains some of its original walls and ramparts, it was "modernized" in the Rennaissance.

The village is described as not "touristy" and all of the restuarants are family owned and operated. With the high elevation, the mountain breezes keep the town and apartment nice and cool. Good...
