We are situated at the foot of Matese (www.matese.it, www.parcodelmatese.com) mountains in an area largely ignored by mass tourism; far enough but not too far from the Rome – Naples motorway.
On one side there are green mountains peaks and on the other
is a crown of villages offering endless discoveries: Alvignano with its castle and early Christian church; Alife with its cathedral and surrounding roman walls; Calvi (the ancient Cales) with its temples, thermal baths and roman amphitheatres now surrounded by orchards; Capua with its archeological museum and the incredible series of Mater Matuta’s statues; San Leucio with its ante literam silk factories with the annex workers village created by the Borbone Royal family; Sala di Caserta with “De Negri’s” factories where they produce magnificent brocades, using

ancient looms and following Borbone’s designs; and last but not least, Caserta with its Royal Palace, beautifully restored to its original splendour a few years ago.

Other suggestions. A day excursion to the village of San Gregorio and to its homonymous massif; walks and picnics in the green fields around the Matese lake; a visit to San Lorenzello - passing through Telese where there are thermal baths - and to “Giustiniani’s” ancient factory where they produce XVII models: real masterpieces which still bear witness of an art that goes back to the old italic population of Cerreto Sannita; an historical tour at Teano where Garibaldi and Vittorio Emanuele II met and marked the solemn moment of the unity of Italy.

Nicola, the owner greets guests with a warm and friendly welcome and will show visitors the pleasant hospitality for which he is well known. A glance at the garden – where you can relish its coolness and beauty - and then you will shown to your room. Here you will feel like you are visiting family - amongst wrought iron beds, romantic dressing tables and big wardrobes, which will make you recall the times when they were full of fresh linen dried in the sun and lavander-scented. Later on you can enjoy a game at our ancient billiard table, reminisce over old times, admiring the old photos hung on the walls or simply relax and drink an aperitif, sunk in a comfortable armchair.
Our dining-room is still like that of an old countryside landowner with its sofas around the large fireplace in one corner and on the other side a dinner-table to share with other guests, which creates a fine social atmosphere, starting with breakfast served with homemade goodies and fresh bread still cooked in a wood burning oven at the local bakery.During your stay you can enjoy yourself by walking along old sheep tracks (still in use today), cycling around in search of tiny streams, playing table tennis or just relaxing
