Agriturismo Serafina

Incredible stay, and the highlight of our Italy trip. This family-run agriturismo is the real deal, and a stunning place to stay. Also, my new hero is Rosa, the woman who basically runs Serafina. She speaks 4 languages, does all the (mind-blowingly good) cooking, baking, agriculture/farming, terrace building, wine, olive oil & cheese making, animal caretaking, cleaning of the guest rooms and probably 5000 other unacknowledged tasks. Her demeanor is efficient and profoundly helpful, direct and focused. She told us that Agriturismos have changed in Italy now, many are more like hotels-- Serafina is one of the few left still growing their food year round, making wine, honey, olive oil, cheese, raising every animal that they serve-- everything Organic to the max (when we arrived, I asked if I could compost an old salad and she asked me if it was organic or not). They are a sweet 4 person family - doing it all themselves! And it's just stunningly beautiful and at the foot of the Path of Gods (which was how I thankfully discovered it). The atmosphere is so peaceful, tranquil and family friendly. We hope to return!
