Agriturismo Antico Casale Colli di San Pietro

Thank you for a wonderful visit in a cosy and relaxed environment with a magnificant view! The food was delicious, the rooms and premises were exeptionally well-maintained, and the family took great care of us! We highly recommend staying at Antico Casale if you are visiting the area near Sorrento and the Amalfi coast!

We had a delicious dinner and a beautiful sunset. Salvatore picked us up at our hotel and drove us to and from his family's wonderful farmhouse. We had as an appetizer several vegetable dishes, pasta for the first course, and a local fish for the second course. Their red and white vines were amazing.

Salvatore and his family make you feel very welcome. They are great hosts. The Restuarant is excellent with most produce drawn from the farm. The property is ideally located for visiting Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi coast. Salvatore was very helpful with great advice on where to visit and how. We had a wonderful stay for four nights.

Whenever we travel in Italy, we have a book at our side: Osterie d'Italia by slow food. This book is a compilation of restaurants that adhere to three simple rules: local recipes, local ingredients and only seasonal produce. This ensures that in general you will find authentic high quality local food. And again we were not disappointed. The food was fresh, the vegetables were fantastic, the pasta was delicious, home made wine and olive oil, and the staff was going out in the garden to get fresh herbs. Our host was very kind and went at lengths at explaining the dishes, the surrounding and culture. He is also trying to revive the production of local nuts and oranges that have a really distinct flavour. The orange sorbet was delicious. This is a must for anybody at the Amalfi coast.

We did the farm tour with Salvatore. He picked us up at our hotel, we toured his family’s lemon and orange farm and learned about his wine making. We was a gracious host, we tasted his red wine and his homemade salami. Both were delicious! We then headed to his hill top restaurant with a spectacular view. The family business was so charming, we even met Nona. We had an amazing supper, tasting all the local products the farm produces. It was the best way to finish our stay in the Amalfi coast! The staff was exceptional, the three brothers who own the farm were hands on in the whole experience. At the end of the night, we were brought back to our hotel.

Staying at Antico Casale was a very special experience, from the moment we arrived!!! We arrived very late, after the kitchen closed, but nonetheless Mario arranged an incredible platter of local cheeses and prosciutto and salamis (made by the family on the property) and a bottle of wine (again made by the family!)… It was all absolutely delicious and an amazing start to our stay!!! The wine deserves a special mention! Particularly the red!! If only there was a mail order option…. We are a family of 4 (our daughters being 9 and 6) and stayed in a suite with a sea view. The view is spectacular. The room was spacious, fresh and immaculate. Air conditioning was perfect. All windows were fitted with black out blinds. Very nice toiletries were provided. Cleaning service was daily and perfect. Most importantly, the main bed was big and comfy. We slept very well. All boxes firmly ticked as far we we were concerned! Breakfast is served on an absolutely stunning terrace, with a view of Sorrento, the Bay of Naples and Naples itself in the foreground. It is an incredible start to a day! There was a delightful selection of pastries, fresh fruit, cereals, meats and cheeses and freshly squeezed orange juice. Delicious eggs and coffee were also made to order. My favourite element was the selection of home made marmalades - I think lemon, orange, grapefruit and cherry!? We left with jars for gifts. I have not yet delivered them to intended recipients…. The ristorante is available for lunch and dinner. We stayed 6 nights and had dinner 4 times and lunch once. We had a hired car and ate elsewhere (including at Ravello and Sorrento) the rest of the time. The best we ate was at Antico Casale! The menu is interesting and a real experience of local (very very local!) produce and cuisine - including fantastic pasta and meat dishes, that we did not see on menus elsewhere in the main tourist areas nearby. I am not a big desert person, but even I was always tempted! The walnut gellato was a particular stand out! The family made walnut liqueur was also a very nice end to a meal…. It was obvious that a lot of locals ate in the ristorante, which speaks for itself. We used the nearby pool a number of times. It really is nearby! Literally, a few minutes walk across the road. The pool also happened to be a real pleasure. It is a beautiful pool, with a splash area for toddlers and a proper slide for bigger kids. The deep end is exceptionally deep, but the pool is very large and there is an ample shallower end for any kids still learning to swim. Apart from on the Sunday, we had no problem getting sun beds and an umbrella. There is a cafe on site, with a covered seating area, which serves very nice lunches, with a broad selection. In terms of location, it is great hub to visit Sorrento, the Amalfi coast and Naples. Last but not least, the hospitality of Salvatore, Mario, Angelo, their mother and the rest of their team was wonderful! Salvatore gave us key recommendatio
