Farm stays in Campania: 12 places to eat well and relax in nature

To fully enjoy the richness of a varied region that has so much to offer in terms of nature, scenery, food, outdoor sports and excursions, a farm stay is the perfect option for a truly relaxing holiday. Suitable for all types of travellers—from families with children to lovers of outdoor activities and those simply looking to unplug—Campania offers a wealth of great agriturismos. From organic farms with sea views on the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Peninsula, within the protected marine area of Punta Campanella (home also to the Iaccarino family’s organic garden, linked to Don Alfonso 1890, which earned Tre Forchette verdi  (three green Forks) in the 2025 Restaurants of Italy guide), to hilltop or seaside cottages in the Cilento National Park, wineries with kitchens and guest rooms at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, and agriturismos nestled in the hills around Benevento and Avellino—an inland area less touched by mass tourism. Here's our selection.

Where to eat at a farm stay in Campania. The best picks by Gambero Rosso

Fattoria Alvaneta

A beautiful estate in the heart of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. It’s an organic farm, teaching farm and agriturismo with comfortable rooms. Almost all of the produce served at the table is grown or raised on-site. Meats, cheeses and cured meats are homemade, while vegetables and fruit are also turned into delicious preserves and jams. Good honey, too. All these delicacies are served in simple, flavour-packed dishes and homemade desserts. Booking essential.

Masseria Campierti

Nestled in nature at the foot of Monte Massico in the Ager Falernus valley, this charming rural property is ideally located for walks and excursions in the surrounding area. The restaurant offers home-style traditional fare, including local cured meats and cheeses and homemade pasta. Their shop sells all their own produce, including wine and olive oil.

Casa Gasparro

A family-run business in the heart of the Cilento hills. The setting is as rustic as you’d expect, with hearty, home-style food made using their own produce. Don’t miss the meats of the ancient Pelatella pig breed (meatballs, cured meats, ziti with pork rind), known for its tender, flavourful meat, along with roast rabbit and chicken cacciatore. The Gasparro family also produces oil, wine, honey and other specialities.

Agriturismo Il Gruccione

A farm stay with a kitchen overlooking the volcano. Located between Naples and Pozzuoli, with direct views of the bubbling Solfatara, it’s also a farm where the Iovino family has grown native grapes since 1892 to produce Falanghina and Piedirosso wines. The restaurant serves seasonal food inspired by local Flegrean tradition, based on produce from their Monte Spina garden. Weekly changing menu: great in summer is the aubergine parmigiana, which you can enjoy during open-air theatre concerts among the vines. Local fried snacks, cheeses and cured meats are always on the menu.

A second building houses the cellar and shop. AIC certified.
