The summer is still far away, but the first warm sun already gives us a foretaste of the warm rays of the summer sun, and the pleasant breeze on the beach. Today we want to taste summer in advance with a short route among the citrus scents of the Amalfi Coast.

1) CASERTA

We begin our journey in the Campania region with a cultural stage in the Royal Palace of Caserta, the eighteenth-century historic residence of the Bourbons of Naples, a complex of 1,200 rooms complemented by wonderful Italian and English gardens. It is a majestic work, called the last great creation of the Italian Baroque.

Nearby, you can stay at Farmhouse Le Ghiandaie, which extends over 50 hectares of green hills, among vast expanses of mountains, forests and farmland in an unspoiled landscape.

2) NAPLES
Descending towards the capital of Campania, we get closer to the beautiful Gulf of Naples, between Vesuvius and the volcanic area of Campi Flegrei. We enter the characteristic streets of the historical center, recognized as World Heritage in 1995 by UNESCO, so lively and animated; not to be missed the Capodimonte Museum and the Royal Palace.

For a natural stay, Agriturismi.it recommends Farmhouse La Casa del Ghiro, ideal to rediscover nature and its flavors, and spend a holiday in an ecological oasis of serenity and peace. Guests can attend cooking classes, go trekking on scenic trails, and relax by the swimming-pool.

Still in the province of Naples, Farmhouse Il Castagno, in the tranquility of green chestnut woods and vineyards, enjoys a beautiful view of the sea. Here you can enjoy traditional dishes made ​​with the company’s products in addition to good local wine.

3) SALERNO

Here we are finally on the Amalfi Coast itself, the land of citrus and fragrant limoncello, but also of tasty anchovies from Cetara and fresh fish. Leaving behind the beautiful Sorrento peninsula, here we are on the Gulf of Salerno, with the beautiful Positano and Vietri sul Mare. Right in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, known throughout the world for its natural beauty, we find Amalfi, which gives it its name to the Coast, proud of its traditions.

For those who are already dreaming of the summer, we recommend Farmhouse Il Falco Del Cilento, with panoramic views over the Gulf of Salerno, in the quiet hills just 4 km from the sea. 20 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and vegetable garden, a swimming-pool, and an original cuisine, made of natural flavors.

Finally, relaxation is at home at Farmhouse San Giorgio, in a recently restored farmh, surrounded by a large private park that surrounds the pool. You can taste authentic dishes like homemade cavatelli with mutton sauce, lagane and chick peas with pork, grilled meat, cold cuts, wine and, of course, the delicious limoncello.
