We met Umberto and his family, who were incredibly welcoming into their factory and business. We were able to make our own miniature inlaid wood project, which is a great keepsake! The tour was funny and informative, making us appreciate the art even more.

Top class tour... a must see in Sorento.

Sue_D, Oct 2025

Super tour of a small factory learning about the fascinating and skilled work that Umberto and his family do. The inlaid wood products they make are so beautiful and we even got to try our hand at putting together a small coaster with an intricate design. It is a real skill and we admire the dedication and patience that are needed to make the stunning pieces. Well worth going on the tour, so interesting!! Thank you so much Umberto ans all for showing us. Highly recommend.

Interesting tour, fabulous artwork

Elizabeth_M, Sep 2025

My husband and I are admirers of various artisans and were curious about how inlaid wood is crafted. This did not disappoint. No only did we learn about the woods used and the processes used to craft the beautiful creations you see in the store... but I was allowed to use the saw to cut intricate pieces, and piece together a circular piece that was given to me to keep. We visited his store later in the day, and purchased several items to be shipped to our home. Beautiful work!

This is a rare place actually worth your money!

AmandaHarley, Jul 2024

If you have the chance to go, please visit this workshop. I'm so thankful that we stumbled upon the factory tour they provide. It's such an underrated tour and is overshadowed by all of the boat/cooking/lemon tours offered in the area but it is absolutely worth your time and money. This is a true family owned and operated business and the factory is where every piece is designed and made. Umberto met us at their shop and drove us to their factory where his father and brother were working. Every item is made with care and intention. It's a stunning and dying art and it was incredible to see all of the drafted designs. I genuinely consider the pieces I bought as heirloom pieces to pass down to my children one day. I can't speak highly enough about it. If you are looking to shop on your vacation in Italy, this is a fantastic choice to buy some high-quality, long-lasting pieces rather than cheaper or overpriced tourist items.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Amanda,we are deeply moved by your beautiful review. Your kind words and sincere appreciation have touched us profoundly. On behalf of our family business, I sincerely thank you for your support.We look forward to welcoming you back to Sorrento soon! With gratitude Mastellone's Family.

Worthwhile experience

Colin_S, Apr 2024

Very interesting factory tour, encouraging visitor experience. Delicate work producing stunning inlays. Well worth the visit, although very difficult to find. However the price of some items sold in the town shop was up to twice that of competitors seen later.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for your review. We're sorry that you found our prices high. We use top-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring durable products. We believe that investing in quality pays off over time. We hope to see you again in Sorrento! Ciao!

Family Wood Tour

barbara_B, Mar 2024

My husband does woodworking as a hobby, so this was his pick. The tour was informative. Our adult daughters enjoyed piecing the wood cut outs together to make their own inlay. Our taxi did have to call to see where to drop us off. And I would have liked to purchase their finished products at the factory. Otherwise, this was a very enjoyable morning. This is not to be missed for people who enjoy crafts or woodworking!

A glimpse into the amazing craft of inlaid woodworking

Elizabeth_G, Apr 2023

This family run business opened their workshop to us and taught us so much about wood and how the process of inlaid wood is done. They are excellent craftsmen and delightful people. A very worthwhile trip!

Thoroughly enjoyable

FaithBroadberry, Sep 2022

Well worth the walk. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the inlaid wood tour. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable and that came across in the explanation of the craft. Beautiful designs and we got to make a little keepsake to take away. Thank you

Inspiring

Julie_W, Jul 2022

Our tour was a wonderful experience. We got a step by step of the inlaid woodworking process and a bit of the history of the trade in Serrento. Making our own sample helped us to understand the skills needed to create the masterpieces found in the Master's studio. It is a family business of father and two sons that enjoy what they do, passing down a tradition to the next generation. A quick trip to their shop (on our own) in town to purchase a few pieces to take home was the icing to the cake. We highly recommend this tour!

Fascinating!

Mary_G, Jul 2022

Fascinating to watch the craftsmen at work. The factory is more like a workshop as it was small and everything was done by hand. They let us try our hands at making a coaster. Actually putting this piece together gives you a greater respect for how intricate and detailed the process is. Owner was very welcoming and friendly. Their finished products are stunning!
