The Relais Castelcicala welcomes its guests with a warm and intimate embrace, where the calm of a “pleasing place” is matched by the simple pleasures of an ancient country seat. Surrounded and protected on one side by eight hectares of walnut, hazelnut, apricots and a centuries-old olive grove, and by the classic architecture of two Franciscan monasteries on the other, overlooked by the awesome ruins of the medieval castle, the Relais Castelcicala invites you to a different style of holiday, made of nature, culture, scents, sapori and all that fine food and wine can add to these. Whether you choose to enjoy the delicious otium of ancient times, stretched out by the pool with its Jacuzzi, or prefer a relaxing walk around the hills and to the nearby monasteries, or if you should desire to take a specialized guide for a visit to Pompei, Herculaneum, Caserta or Amalfi, your days at the Relais Castelcicala will be marked by serenity and pleasure. At lunch and dinner, you may enjoy the specialties prepared by your hosts, who for years have combined traditional dishes with more creative efforts, including courses on the culinary arts of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies: a tasty itinerary based on the typical dishes of Mediterranean gastronomy. And on summer evenings, you can enjoy aperitifs among the orange trees in the courtyard, while in winter you will have the warmth of the family hearth. Gherardo and Barbara Sallier de La Tour Castelcicala and their three daughters who live in the villa look forward to welcoming you with the warmth and cordial hospitality that is a tradition of their family, so that you may also come to feel the magic of this enchanted place. |
