Podere don Peppe 1884

Do yourself a favor and stay here! My husband and I visited in September for 4 nights, and it was the perfect place to stay while we visited Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast! I truly felt like it was this hidden gem in the area just tucked away for a quiet, peaceful retreat after a long day. It was such a quaint place, the rooms were nice and clean, and I loved the farmhouse style decor! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. And, let's just talk about the food. Delicious. Breakfast was lovely, and my cappuccino's every morning paired perfectly with their homemade coffee cakes. They also had fresh fruit, tomatoes and mozzarella, fresh eggs etc. The dining area is an outdoor screened in patio, and decor is farmhouse style...it's all in the details! They also have a restaurant which they open for dinner. I believe part of it is farm to table food, as they grow many of their own vegetables right there! There is no written menu, and the menu changes depending on what they have available. We ended up eating there 3 of the 4 nights because it was THAT good! The appetizer alone could be your meal. I think they must have brought out 5 or 6 different plates of food as part of the appetizer, and it was such a treat! But, their pasta, meat and dessert were excellent as well! Just be prepared to walk away FULL! ;) You will want to take a walk through their lemon orchard, check out the peacocks, rabbits, and chickens, meander through their large garden of veggies, and then head on over and relax in the hammocks! I literally can't say enough good things about this place. Just perfect. We would absolutely stay here again! Also, as a side note...if you are looking for another place to eat if you are out and about, you should check out Il Cantuccio. It's probably 5 or 10 minutes from Podere, but has a spectacular view overlooking the water. We really enjoyed our dinner there as well! And, just an fyi, most restaurants don't seem to open for dinner until 7pm, and people show up around 8pm. We were almost always the first to arrive between 7 and 7:30pm, then around 8pm, the restaurants would start getting busier.
