This agritourismo offers a little piece of paradise. Beautifully situated on a hill overlooking the sea, nestled in olive and lemon trees. Some rooms offer stupendous views. Breakfast is simple and satisfying, including home-made jams. Dinner is a solid option as well again featuring house products include their own cheese and meats. They offer a good vegetarian dinner if you ask. Not a complaint but worth noting the wifi doesn't really work in the rooms, and is intermittent near the dining area -- but you wont' miss it.
The history behind the grove and the care taken to cultivate these lemons is incredible. I visited Il Giardino Di Vigliano solo and had a lovely time, enjoying a beautiful lunch starting with an antipasto consisting of homemade cheeses and cured meats, before moving on to a plate of pasta. After lunch I had the chance to taste their own Limoncello, Grappa and limoncello cream along with their Organic Jams (Which are second to none). Valentina and Luigi were passionate about their farm and absolutely perfect hosts, they made me feel like I was at my Nonna’s having lunch with my family. Thank you again Valentina and Luigi, I cannot recommend Il Giardino more!
Valentina, Luigi, Raffaela and the family are really nice and welcoming. The room was calm and cosy. The location is a charming lemonfarm, very nice and calmly laying in Massa Lubrense above the Gulf of Naples, which is a good starting point to explore the Sorrentine peninsula. We visited also some spots much far away hence for us a rental car was needed. The family did help us as well to arrange tours to the Amalfi coast and Capri with the responsible locals. We especially loved the food served for dinner every evening in the typically italian 4-course-manner. For two people it was no problem to book it in the evening before or at breakfast. On one evening they turned the tables and we could make our own pizza to our own taste in the wood fired oven. Last but not least we need to highlight their self crafted and very delicious products of the farm, especially limoncello and the marmalade.…
We visited here for a guided tour followed by a delicious simple lunch. Luigi is very knowledgeable and his pride in the farm and the business is very clear. Valentina is a very hospitable host. We were taken round the 'garden' (what the locals call a lemon farm) and we learned so much about how lemons are grown and how the farm is maintained, including some genuine surprises we would never have guessed. We then had our delightful lunch, and could sample the limoncello (of course!) and other lemony drinks, and could also buy wine. After that we were left alone in discussion with a nice couple who had also done the tour. There was clearly no rush and we got the impression we could stay as long as we liked, as if we were guests at the guest house (which also looked very nice indeed). There was also a nice little shop selling their produce. Gordon Ramsay, Gino D'Acampo and Fred Sirieix filmed a segment of their Road Trip at this farm. We could easily see why they chose it, and it has also converted us into knowing that lemons are not just bitter and sharp, they can also have sweetness. We will look for lemons grown in this region in the future, if we can. Highly recommended.…
I was here with G Adventures, and would definitely come back on my own! It’s a beautiful setting, with gorgeous views, and most especially Luigi and his family make one feel very welcome. The fresh home cooked meals, and tour of the lemon groves makes Giardino Vigliano a true Italian experience.
