Surrounded by olive trees and vines with distant pine-covered mountains,
this superb
agriturismo
is run by an American-Italian family. Enjoy distant views of Capri
while savouring delicious traditional food prepared by Angela, who also conducts cooking
classes. Home-made olive oil, wine and jams are on the menu and breakfasts are a cut
above the normal
cornetti
, with cooked breakfasts available on request (a rarity in these
parts). The rooms are rustic style with chunky wood furniture and brightly coloured walls.
Dating from 1978, this was the first
agriturismo
to open in the area.

60; Mar-Oct; )
On the edge of the park, just 6km inland from the coast, come
here for fabulous views and a no-frills rural stay in an 18th-century farmhouse, still in the
same Ricciardella family. A large outside terrace is hung with corn cobs and tomatoes and
there's an original oven for baking bread. The rooms are pleasant with wrought-iron or
dark-wood furnishings and small tiled bathrooms. Various activities, including trekking
and horse riding, can be organised.
Agriturismo La Loggia degli Alburni €
( 334 3204398; Sicignano e'Alburni; s/d incl breakfast €30/40; )
More of a coun-
try hotel than a true
agriturismo
, but the setting is sublime, high up in a grove of chestnut
trees overlooking the magnificent castle. Follow the signs from the village, along a rough
track, backed by steep forested slopes. The rooms are large, modern and comfortable. The
dining room, complete with colourful hunting mural, serves good traditional fare like
home-made
tagliolini
pasta in a ragù sauce (meals €25). Popular with walkers.

; Contrada Galdo; s/d incl breakfast
€20/40; Mar-Oct; )
Owned by the Salamonte family who lived in England
for several years (hence the gnomes in the garden), this folksy place enjoys a lovely pas-
toral setting, right outside this delightful medieval village. Goats, sheep, ducks and dogs
are just part of the menagerie. The rooms are simply furnished with dark-wood furniture,
dazzling white walls and terracotta tile floors. The large restaurant dishes up excellent loc-
al dishes and has an open fireplace during the winter months. Recent additions include a
pool and small fitness centre.
