The Experience
Adventure-seeking drivers will love the long approach up a bumpy track to arrive at this self-sufficient estate (jams, wines, salamis, olive oil) in Cilento’s National Park with its dramatic landscape of mountains and sea. Sebastiano loves his farm and wants you to reap what he sews too: homegrown suppers are beautifully cooked and accompanied by his excellent wine.Walk up to the local village, San Giovanni a Piro for a coffee and a spot of people-watching in the square, hop in the car to Scario for bobbing boats and a decent gelato, drive 40 minutes to the hill town of Camerota to buy authentic and well-priced pottery.Return to comfortable, frill-free rooms with thick walls, an un-manicured garden the children can romp in, a pool with toys for cooling off and hammocks slung between trees. There are few rules and plenty of space; relaxed and unfussy souls will thrive here.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're bang in the second largest national park in Italy which stretches from the Tyrrhenian coast to the foot of the Apennines in Campania and Basilicata, for walks, some strenuous and uphill, or gentle strolls. Birdlife is prolific here so bring your binoculars for peregrine falcons, buzzards and over 200 different species of migratory birds. There are beaches and coves galore to explore, including 15 miles of wild untouched coastline which can be reached only by boat or on foot. Camerota is worth exploring and will take you 40 minutes by car.

- A self sufficient estate where you can tell the rest of the world: “you stay there and I stay here”.

Introducing
Sebastiano Petrilli
Sebastiano used to work in London but now dedicates himself to his farm, his son Corrado, his dogs and his wine production. He's a great cook and only uses ingredients from the farm or the surrounding area. If you like the wine you can order some and have it sent home.
A very special family holiday. Host Sebastiano is charming, passionate, hard-working and generous, with a real sense of spirit and adventure - and genuine pride in his roots and his terroir. Sublime home cooking (homemade yogurts; compotes from homegrown apricots; memorable picnics and dinners). Expert local advice on places to visit. Supremely relaxing place to stay. Rustic but stylish accommodation set in converted barns; surrounded by farmland on a hillside, at foot of a village. Unspoilt coastline and national park (with river swimming and caves to explore) nearby. Incredible. Recommend.
