Welcome to Casa dei Capperi, the home of a 50 years old plant of Capers. It is not a holiday home and it is not a b&b but an independent private apartment next to our home tastefully furnished and complete with all comforts in a pristine rural environment full of trees and Mediterranean shrubs at 250mt above sea level from the city of Salerno. Our guests will also appreciate our patio and garden with an outdoor area equipped with table and chairs available for breakfast in the morning and/or for moments of complete relaxation during the day. Fruit and other foods for breakfast (milk, coffee, biscuits, juices, etc, all packaged according to the local law) will be available only for the morning following arrival so that our guests can purchase and provide for themselves all the breakfast products most suited to their diet. The electricity in our house is self-produced by a photovoltaic system. Casa dei Capperi is perfect for those who prefer the car for freedom of movement because we are in a strategic location for easy and quick access to the cities of Salerno, Cava de’ Tirreni, the Amalfi Coast, and to all highways connections, ideal for those wishing to visit the magnificent temples of Paestum and the famous excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Free uncovered parking space. A car is indispensable for freedom of movement A local bus, the number 19, leaves and reaches the town of Salerno every two hours every day except on Sundays and Holidays.

Born and raised in Salerno until 1985. I have spent part of my life in the United States, where I lived for 15 years. Since my return to Italy in 2000 I have lived in Sardinia, Lebanon and Sicily until 2009, then returned home to one of the hills surrounding the city of Salerno. I like to travel the world. I define myself as a creative. I make photographic artwork and other little things. I love nature, ancient history, and I practice permaculture on a small scale, producing solar energy for self-consumption and feeding into the electricity grid, collecting rainwater, cultivating a synergistic vegetable garden here at Casa dei Capperi, where all foods are organic and available for my guests when they are being produced, and working to restore biodiversity by promoting the reproduction of lizards, geckos, frogs, turtles and other small fauna in nature. You are welcome to the Casa dei Capperi.
