We had a fabulous day exploring Capri. Our captain Favio was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history surrounding Capri. We loved our time on the water enjoying the sights as well as the swimming stops. We had just the right amount of time in Capri and it was nice to go early and beat all the crowds. It was the perfect way to explore Capri.

Wonderful tour! Our host Francesca was the best! She was always walking around the boat sharing details about each site with the different groups of guests. The sites were amazing and the music and dancing on the ride back was so fun! Highly recommend the tour company and host!

This experience was easily one of the highlights of our entire stay in Sorrento. More than just a farm tour and meal, it gave us a wonderful glimpse into local life, food, agriculture, and the traditions of a multigenerational family farm. If you are looking for an authentic experience that also directly supports a local family and the Sorrento community, I cannot recommend this enough. Everything was extremely well organized from the beginning. Transportation was provided from a central location in Sorrento, which happened to be directly across from our hotel. The bus was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, and we were driven directly to the entrance of the farm. There we were welcomed by Eugene, whose family owns and operates the farm. He was a fantastic host and shared the history of the property and how farming has been passed down through generations of his family. What made the experience particularly special was realizing that this isn’t simply a farm being presented for tourists—it is a working family farm, and the people showing you around are genuinely part of its story. As we walked through the property, Eugene explained how the farm has evolved over the years and showed us traditional farming techniques that are still used today. We wandered through beautiful lemon and olive groves while learning about how everything is grown and harvested. The setting itself is spectacular. The farm sits along the hillside, with breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape and coastline. We visited around golden hour, and watching the late-afternoon light fall across the farm and the Sorrento landscape is a memory I will cherish from our trip. Our children especially loved meeting the farm animals. Eugene’s father was incredibly sweet with them and repeatedly gave them food so they could feed the cows, pigs, and goats along the way. It was such a simple gesture, but it made the experience incredibly memorable for our kids and made us feel genuinely welcomed by the family. And then came the meal—which may have been the best part of an already wonderful experience. We were welcomed into the family’s beautifully decorated, air-conditioned farmhouse for a home-cooked, multi-course dinner prepared by Eugene’s mother and family. Videos playing inside showed the family working on the farm, including wonderful footage from previous generations. It reinforced just how much history and family tradition exists on this property. Nothing about the experience felt manufactured or overly touristy; it felt authentic, personal, and incredibly warm. The food was spectacular. We started with several appetizers, including delicious grilled vegetables, an eggplant-based egg dish, a meat and cheese platter, fresh bread, and the farm’s own olive oil. Our main course was a vegetarian pasta made with ingredients grown on the property, including olives and tomatoes, and it was honestly one of the best pasta dishes we ate during our time in Sorrento. Dessert was a light, airy lemon cake that was the perfect ending to the meal. Throughout dinner, they generously served wine made from grapes grown on the farm, and we finished by tasting their homemade limoncello. Sitting around the table enjoying food and wine produced from the land we had just walked through made the entire experience come full circle. What I appreciated most was that we never felt rushed. The family gave us plenty of time to enjoy our dinner, talk, and simply take in the experience. Their hospitality was exceptional from beginning to end. After visiting many of the major sights around Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, this experience stands out because it gave us something completely different: a genuine connection to the people, food, and agricultural traditions of the region. You leave with a much better appreciation for the work and generations of knowledge behind so much of the food and produce that make this area special. If you’re spending several days in Sorrento, make room in your itinerary for this. Come hungry, bring your kids if you’re traveling as a family, and if possible, choose a late-afternoon tour so you can experience the farm during golden hour. It was a beautiful, delicious, and genuinely memorable evening—and easily a five-star experience for our family.
