DISCOVER THE REAL AMALFI COAST
Boat tours, private tours, private Chef
and everything you could want.
Villa il Carrubo has always been a special place for our family—a sanctuary where we can relax and enjoy harmonious days together. We hope to share this experience with our guests as well. We know that everyone has that one friend who will say, “You went to the Amalfi Coast and didn’t visit Pompeii?” That’s why we’re here for you, to help craft your own unique experiences on the Amalfi Coast, making sure your time at Villa il Carrubo is truly unforgettable.
A boat ride
The Amalfi Coast viewed from the sea has a completely different charm, revealing hidden nooks and charming coves that you simply can’t see from land. That’s why one of the most popular activities is taking a boat tour to discover the beautiful bay of Erchie, the Cavallo Mortobeach in Maiori, the stunning Furore Fjord, the lovely Santa Croce beach in Amalfi, and the vibrant Marina Grande in Positano. And why not make it even more special with a delightful traditional aperitif on board?
Or you could set sail for one of the renowned restaurants in Nerano, where you can savor the specialties that are famous around the world. Just keep in mind that boat excursions are subject to weather conditions, so it’s best to plan them at least a week in advance.
Discovering the
Region
The strategic location of Villa il Carrubo makes it easy for you to explore the charming streets of Naples or, in the opposite direction, the stunning temples of Paestum. We absolutely love when our guests ask us for recommendations on what to see, where to eat (and where not to go), or how to plan a mountain hike or a relaxing yoga session on the terrace.This area is bursting with history, culture, and traditions. From Pompeii to Amalfi, Ravello to Positano, Ischia and Capri; and let’s not forget Salerno, Paestum, and the Cilento, perfect for indulging in culinary tours. You could stay with us for a month and still discover something new every day! Share your passions with us, and we’ll be delighted to help you craft “your experience” of the Amalfi Coast.
Friends, good food
and good wine
Alfonso, one of the owners, is a true wine lover, a connoisseur, and a passionate collector. Join him in exploring the finest wines from the region, all while enjoying the breathtaking views from the large terrace overlooking the sea. With the help of a professional sommelier, Alfonso will guide you in discovering the best Italian wines, carefully selected from a wide array or even sourced specifically to match your desires.
And if you’re eager to unveil the secrets of this extraordinary region’s cuisine, you can request a Chef in Villa. You’ll have the chance to roll up your sleeves and create traditional dishes together, or you can simply relax and savor the delightful meals prepared especially for you.
Fatte ‘na pizza
…
(Have a pizza…)
Pino Daniele, the beloved Neapolitan singer-songwriter, wrote a beautiful song about pizza… and do you really want to miss the chance to watch a true Neapolitan pizzaiolo at work, crafting and baking traditional pizzas in the oven at Carrubo?
Or how about trying your hand at “the art of pizza making” alongside him, and see if you can become o’ guaglion’ ro’ pizzaiuol! As the sun sets and the blue of the sea blends with the blue of the sky, you’ll hear the crackling of the wood in the oven, and savor the delightful aromas of fresh ingredients melting into the pizzas you’ll enjoy, warm and inviting, on the terrace amidst laughter and toasts.
