FAMILIAS Y CALIENTE

We had a fabulous 4-night stay with Pasquale, Rosanna and their lovely family. The house is beautiful and the guest rooms (on the ground floor, under the main house) are spacious, cool, and beautifully clean. It's a very relaxing place to be, with a small terrace and garden in front of the guest rooms, and a very laid-back atmosphere. The house is in a great location for exploring Agerola, with easy access to lots of fantastic walking trails. In particular, we did the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) and the views were stunning. Also, just 2 minutes' walk from the house there's a viewpoint at Castello Lauritano with incredible views along the coast to Amalfi and beyond. It's also well-situated for visiting Pompeii to the north, and the Amalfi coast to the south (provided you like hairpin bends!), but we actually stayed quite local as we'd already done those things earlier in our trip. The village of San Lazzaro was surprisingly bustling, with some nice cafes, bars, and the all-important gelateria... And we found the local people very friendly - people even stopped in the street to say hello and try out their English! Our booking included accommodation and a delicious breakfast of croissant, coffee and fruit from the farm. Evening meals cost extra but were very reasonably priced, and the quality of the food and hospitality was exceptional. So many delicious dishes...! Pasquale and Rosanna's passion for quality organic produce is inspirational and infectious, and you can really taste the time and effort that has gone into it. Almost all the food is grown and prepared at home, including the tomatoes, olives, wine, salami, ham, and cheese. We also signed up for a cookery course in which Pasquale taught us how to make pasta (the most delicious ricotta-filled ravioli), which was a great way to learn more about the family's way of life. We had our two boys (8 and 10) with us, and they absolutely loved the place. They were able to go on a tour of the farm, and even helped out with some of the jobs like feeding the animals and watering the crops. Thank you Pasquale and Rosanna - we wish we could have stayed even longer!

Our stay with Rosanna, Pasquale, Martina and Giusseppe could not have been better. They were so gracious and accommodating. The room was clean and straightened every day. The food was delicious as was the wine-tasting. I even had a cooking lesson with Rosanna. We made home made pasta, sauce and meatballs. I decided what we would cook. She could have made anything. So sweet and so gracious....and so delicious too! It is a short walk to town and to the most magnificent views! We were also able to easily get to the Amalfi coast and to the Path of the Gods. From Agerola, we could get to Amalfi, the hub, Ravello, Positano and more. The views not to be topped anywhere in the world. Loved it. You will too!

I felt so welcome here with Pasquale, Rosanna and family.

The room I stayed in was spacious with its own bathroom and serviced each day.

As well as breakfast, guests can choose to book for lunch and dinner and the food is of the utmost quality. It would be hard to find the equal in San Lazzaro or Agerola. Guests dine together in the large dining area as Rosanna prepares her specialties in the adjoining kitchen.

Pasquale works his vineyard and prepares really tasty wine, white and red and a special blend of lemoncello and fennel liquor. It has the bonus of being prepared all organically.

Walk 100 metres down or up the street and enjoy a spectacular view of the Amalfi Coast.

One can access nature walks and also the famous walk between Positano and Bomerano above the cliffs of Amalfi. San Lazzaro is not directly on the ocean but there is a regular bus service that takes you down to Amalfi.

Overall a memorable place to stay and would have no hesitation in returning there next time.

Dear Rosanna & Pasquale

Weiling and myself missed our best homestay and your fantastic food, nice home, beautiful scienery and warm hospitality in Agelora.

San Lazzaro is the ideal place to explore the Path of Gods and visiting other places in Amafi coast. With a strategic locations and beautiful scenery, everyone will agree I have choosen the right place for my holidays.

We really enjoyed our stay with your family in April 2017 and for your kindness and memorable holidays in Napoli.
Rosanna is a very nice and kind lady, fetching us from the bus stop, ensuring we had the comfortable room and our stomach was full every day with her wonderful food. She is really a good cook and everyone will enjoy their hospitality.
Pasquale is man with lots of talent and great host, he showed us his secret passage and where they produced wines, hams and cheese. And don’t forget to try their home made ‘fantastic fresh goat cheese’, best red wine and many others nice home-made food.

Their family is very thoughtful of their guests need and I feel like staying with my family in the foreign land. Highly recommend for anyone looking for the trully Napoli experiences.
Thank you very much for taking care of us during our stay, truly memorable and will miss to go back there again.

Take care and see you again Rosanna & Pasquale!

Love
Diana & Weiling

This was one of the most unique homestays we have ever had! Rosanna and Pasquale are two of the most personable and energetic people. My wife and I, along with our 2 friends stayed in their apartment in San Lazzaro, Agerola. San Lazzaro is a small community overlooking Amalfi and is about 30 minutes from Pompeii. Every morning we walked up a couple of blocks to Rosanna and Pasqules house for great breakfast, which included homemade breads, and marmalades and great coffees. Their house overlooks the Amalfi Coast. You can walk up the road and get an incredible view of the coast and see an old castle getting restored. We also stayed for an authentic Italian 6 course dinner that included much wine and more food than one could eat. All the foods we ate were homemade, homegrown and organic. They also make make wines and have a great wine seller. This was such a unique experience and we highly recommend staying with these wonderful people.

Thank you so much Rosanna and Pasquale!
