Are you ready to discover the authentic countryside along the coast?

A working farm holiday halfway between Sorrento and Positano
Local specialties made by Nonna Luisa
The warm hospitality of the Persico family

Address
Via Cermenna, 45 - Piano di Sorrento

Have you ever eaten fruit picked fresh off the tree? Or cuddled a baby bunny? These are just two of many unforgettable experiences you and your family can have at Antico Casale, a real family farm halfway between Positano and Sorrento. With a vegetable garden, fruit orchard, citrus trees, chicken house, rabbits, pigs, and four charming rooms newly renovated, you can relax in the countryside and even dine in at the farm's own restaurant serving traditional local dishes.

Warm Farm Hospitality

Mario and Salvatore, two brothers from the Persico family, welcome guests to Antico Casale together with their parents and Nonna Luisa, all of whom both work the farm and greet visitors. Your stay at the agriturismo will be one in which you reconnect with nature, as this working farm plants, harvests, makes wine, and preserves goodies for the upcoming winter all year round.

All our guests are welcome to help out, or simply watch, as we go about our daily chores. You can learn the farming traditions of the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast while relaxing in the slow rhythm of the countryside.

The Guest Rooms

Antico Casale has just four guest rooms: two suites, a quadruple room, and a double room. The rooms were all renovated in 2017, and have a charming country decor and the original farmhouse architecture, with high vaulted ceilings. The suites have sofabeds that become bunk beds, perfect for families with children.

The Restaurant: Nonna Luisa

One of the most popular amenities at Antico Casale is the "Da Nonna Luisa" restaurant. Here you can dine on the patio with views of the sea or in the comfortable internal dining room. All the dishes are made with local ingredients, many picked and grown directly at the farm and others sourced from local growers who are personal friends of the Persico family.

From June 1st to September 30th, guests can enter the nearby “La Lisca” pool.

Possibly the best stay we’ve ever had anywhere

"This might be the best place we've ever stayed" 14-year-old boys rarely gush that much about a vacation stay - but Salvatore and his entire family made a massive impression on our family of four during our five day stay. The breathtaking setting, the locally-sourced food, the genuine hospitality and the hard-working family behind the business impressed us from the moment we arrived - after midnight. We emailed Salvatore that we wouldn't land in Naples until 10:30pm. He quickly replied that that was no problem. They'd wait up. They also suggested a more fitting room for our family of four. After getting our rental car, we were delayed by traffic surrounding an overnight religious parade. But when we arrived at 12:30am, they greeted us with a smile and showed us to our room where we collapsed. We woke up to incredible beauty our of our bedrooms, overlooking the Bay of Naples. Salvatore, his two brothers and his mother met us with a smile every time we saw them. Breakfast was included and featured oranges to freshly squeeze into juice, homemade orange, lemon and mandarin jam, homemade yogurt, homemade croissants, homemade pastries, homemade cheese and sausage and fresh eggs made anyway you'd like. Plus, whatever coffee you'd like. We chose the capuccino served with a smile. The grounds pack a lot of agriculture into a little space. We spotted four pigs, a goose, rabbits, a small flock of chickens, a big garden, and many rows of grapes, olives and fruit trees. The hardworking family juggles the rooms for rent, the farm and a great kitchen that offers lunch or dinner each day on the breathtaking patio or in a dining room room with clear walls to make it feel like you're outside, even when you're not. Walls of jasmine are incredibly fregrant and flowers add color to the entire setting overlooking the bay. And Flash, their dog, greeted us every time we returned. A few practicalities: You need a car and the roads are narrow, including the driveway. It's very doable, but Italian driving takes some getting used to. The farm (and its neighbors) have some roosters that crow at first light. Bring ear plugs if that bothers you. The beds aren't Hilton's most comfortable - but the view and the hospitality more than make up for it. Bathrooms have a shower/tub, a toilet, a hairdryer, basic soap/shampoo and towels. Our stay felt like an incredible deal at 137 Euros/night for four - that might change by season. Our meal for four that included appetizers, four entrees, a bottle of homemade wine was a joyful two hour experience that cost 150 Euros. There is no laundry. We found a reasonable laundromat in Sorrento that made for an eventful family adventure. Sorrento's city center is about 15 minutes away. That's where we caught a ferry to Capri, a bus to Positano and Amalfi (because we didn't dare drive that crazy costal road - and I'm glad we didn't) and returned by boat from Amalfi. We found grocery stores in Sorrento that we used for picnics and gilato stands for dessert. We bought homemade jam from the agriturismo to remember our stay. They also sell homemade olive oil in 3 liter canisters. Watching the sun set over the gulf was a nightly appointment. Absolutely beautiful. And the fresh, clean air, combined with the smell of jasmine encouraged us to keep our windows wide open anytime we were there. Daily housekeeping kept our room clean and our beds were made daily. And Salvatore and his family were quick to offer advice from parking to logistics

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.

Bella location, prezzi non in linea con l' ubicazione e con il livello

Location molto bella, immersa nel verde con splendida vista sul Golfo. L' esperienza, limitatamente al ristorante, non ci ha convinto. Prodotti genuini, non grande varietà di scelta, ma le quantità delle porzioni e il livello dei prezzi non ci hanno soddisfatto. Un antipasto di verdure, un primo o un secondo per commensale (nessuno ha preso entrambi), un dessert per circa la metà dei commensali, vino della casa, il tutto per 45 euro a persona. Considerato anche che la location è ubicata lontana da tutte le località turistiche più quotate (almeno 20-30 minuti da Positano, Sorrento, Nerano) ci è sembrato un po' caro
