Martina and her family have completely changed our lives with one simple dining experience! We were truly treated like royalty and had an authentic Italian meal, prepared from scratch, right in front of our eyes. The ingredients used were grown on their family farm (that has been in the family since the 1800s) and just made for the most fresh, authentic, and delicious meal we have had thus far. We were welcomed into their home with open arms and made to feel like family from the first moment we met the host. I cannot say enough good things about this home or this family. If we return to Sorrento, this will be a number one stop for sure.

This was a very fun and exciting experience. The zipline is high and long so goes without saying that its not for those with a fear of heights. Worth planning your journey there beforehand whether you drive, taxi or walk. We decided to take the 1000+ steps to get there in the morning and arrived earlier than expected. We had to wait a little while to get ready but after that, everything worked very smoothly.

Salvatore is a very safe driver who knows the Amalfi Coast very well; he therefore had beautiful places to show us and beautiful anecdotes to tell us. He also provided us with excellent advice for the rest of our stay in Italy.

Highly recommended. The guide, Luigi, was super nice and knew a lot. I would do it again and recommend it. All this taking into account that it is December and we didn't have much time either.

Great service and worth the extra $. Convenient to do on the way down to Sorrento / Amalfi coast. Antonio very helpful and reliable. Thanks Antonio!
