Lauro is itself a world apart from the surrounds of Naples and the Vesuvius and our home is even more of a retreat and refuge from the bustle of these sprawling towns. We are also aware from personal experience that, for who is not prepared, the initial impact with this different culture can be disorientating. So we feel it's important to give advice and guidelines to help the guests discover the sometimes "hidden" treasures of this region, while sidestepping any complications or pitfalls.

The concern for the well being of our guests goes inevitably beyond the garden wall and we hope they can feel not only at home with us but looked after as if they were good friends. Leaving them with the memory of an enjoyable holiday is really our best reward.

The garden is of exclusive use of the outhouse and offers many a corner for sunbathing in privacy or reading in the shade.
