Farm-to-table feasting awaits at
this wonderful hillside
agriturismo
, complete with sweeping views of the Vallo di Diano.
Earthy flavours dominate the menu, the farm's home-reared boar, veal and pork shining
through in options like
pasta fresca
(fresh egg pasta) with
cinghiale
(boar) and porcini
mushrooms.
The creative
antipasto misto
delivers treats like anchovy-laced
zeppole
(fried pizza
dough) or
parmigiana di scarola
(escarole parmigiana), a clever adaptation of the classic
aubergine version. Young, affable owner Francesco is passionate about the Cilento, and
offers on-site accommodation (single/double/triple €35/50/65) and organised tours of the
area. If driving from the Certosa, head northeast along Viale Certosa (towards the town
centre), turn right into Strada Provinciale 180 and follow the signs for Fattoria Alvaneta.

Getting There & Away
To get the best out of the park and the surrounding region, you will need a car. There is a
car-hire company (
