We were 2 families renting Al Vecchio Casale. Lovely traditional farmhouse set in peaceful countryside perfect for a relaxing holiday and off the usual tourist trail. We greatly appreciated the delicious meal Massimo cooked for us on our arrival - just what we needed after the madness of picking up our hire car at the airport and the madness (to us) of Italian driving! We made full use of the large, very well maintained pool, sun loungers, and even the pizza oven! Air conditioning in the bedrooms was fantastic. We did find the beds rather hard though. Loved Sant'Agata dei Goti. Also visited (and enjoyed) The Royal Palace at Caserta (well recommended), Telese Terme, Ercolano (Hercolaneum) - fantastic pizza there at pizzeria Luna Caprese, and Casavecchia. The shoppers amongst us also visited the shopping outlet and centre not too far away (on main road heading back in to Naples). Did the drive to busy Amalfi - take your nerves with you! - beautiful views but very difficult to find anywhere to park. It was so good to get back to the peace and quiet of la Casale! Owner Massimo, most helpful and kept in touch with us throughout the holiday. A great, relaxing holiday. We miss the sunshine (but not so much the thunderstorms!)

Accommodation worked brilliantly for our two families, an oasis after campgrounds. Absolutely beautiful setting, grounds and pool. Massimo was very helpful and great to deal with.

Siamo stati questo fine settimana posto molto accogliente e curato nei minimi particolari complimenti al proprietario

Our family had a lovely week here. The villa is gorgeous, with tastefully furnished rooms, oodles of hot water in the bathrooms, and beautifully maintained. We took a while to find it initially, tucked away in the Campania countryside, following all the little signs, but once we knew the location it was fine. By the end of the week, the neighbour was waving and smiling to us as we drove by. It is so peaceful. Relaxing by the pool on the new sun loungers was idyllic - particularly when the swallows came flitting through the gardens, and cicadas were singing in the trees. Swimming every day (except one, when we had a night of spectacular September thunder/lightening followed by a half day of rain) was not only a joy, but almost essential in the heat and sunshine. Playing frisbee on the lawn and in the pool - then time for another drink and lunch, under the pool parasols. Massimo could not have been more helpful or considerate. Nothing was too much trouble for him - even when we arrived a bit early. He provided a delicious lunch on our arrival, and on the penultimate evening he and his delightful wife, Patrizia, cooked us a typical Italian meal in the poolside house, which was just sublime. He speaks excellent English and was happy to make enquiries and reservations on our behalf, and liaise in person or via mobile/text if necessary. He was always available when needed and willing to give advice on the local area, but was never intrusive. During the week, we made a number of trips to Vesuvius, Pompeii, horse-riding, sea-kayaking, a local wine cellar, and the Royal Palace & English Gardens at Casserta. Plenty to see and do. After a week, we were getting used to the local area - including St Agata, for local supplies - and not getting lost; also getting more accustomed to the Italian style of driving! On our last day, Massimo took us on a guided tour of Naples and the surrounding area (including pizza lunch and gelato on the seafront) and shared his obvious love , knowledge and enthusiasm for his home city. We then followed him back to the airport, stopping to buy a bag on the way, for our extra purchases – Massimo knew some good shops. We were made to feel most welcome here - and the family verdict is that we would love to come back on an annual basis, and maybe learn some Italian too. How lucky we are to have found this secret little gem. If you would like to enjoy a special holiday, then look no further - Al Vecchio Casale awaits!

Un peu compliqué pour parvenir à la maison la première fois, mais après elle se révèle très tranquille et bien située. La maison avec sa grande piscine, sa pelouse bien verte et sa climatisation, est confortable, et Massimo très sympathique et accueillant (sans oublier Antonio). On nous avait préparé d'abondantes provisions pour le soir et le lendemain matin : ce fut vraiment appréciable. Inutile de faire la liste de ce qu'il y a à voir en Campanie, mais je recommande d'aller manger un soir à Sant'Agata de Goti. Bref pour nous qui sommes venus de nombreuses fois dans la région de Naples, un séjour en famille réussi.

une grande maison très bien équipée, avec une grande piscine, un jardin et une terrasse tres agréable. Massimo est un hôte attentif et soucieux du bien être de ses locataires. Ses conseils nous ont été précieux pour profiter de la région. sant agatha de goti est un jolie ville. l'acces aux sites touristiques est aisé par l'autoroute
