Ponte Reale

The Ponte Reale Farm is located in an ancient Bourbon hunting ground, well known as one of the most gorgeous and uncontaminated locations in the whole of the “Kingdom of the Two Sicilies”. It was here, at the border between the Campania and Molise regions, that King Ferdinand IV, who suffered very poor health conditions, would come to restore his strength and vigor by riding horses and hunting. A famous painting by J.P. Hackert portrays a hunting scene set precisely on the bridge which today marks the western border of the Farm’s lands (see Home). These extraordinary lands are now part of the Matese Regional Park and of the WWF “le Mortine” oasis, and extend up to the valley of the higher Volturno, which acts as a buffer between the National Park of Abruzzo and the Matese Regional Park.
