Tenuta Montelaura

On day 2 of our unscripted motor tour from Naples to Florence via the Amalfi Coast, we again found ourselves looking for a place to stay. We came across Tenuta Montelauro on Google maps. Having heard and read so much lately about agritourism, I was anxious to give it a try. My guess is that they don't get a lot of walk-in guests, so were probably a bit confused by our unannounced arrival and request for 2 rooms for the night. That confusion quickly faded and their hospitality and cordiality shined through. The entire facility seems nearly new. The rooms are large and comfortable. We had first floor rooms (one above ground level) that opened onto a large shared patio overlooking heavily forested grounds. This place specializes in their own dry-cured meats. You pick your cut of meat from the curing "closet". Servings are one kilo per couple. Even with the bone-in cuts, this is an ample serving. The table was set with a generous charcuterie board and a small side salad. The entire meal, including desert and 2 bottles of a very nice local wine came to a bit over €30 per person. Breakfast, included in the €70 fee per room was equally generous in size and every bit as delicious. We believe you cannot go wrong with this hotel. I rate it excellent in every regard.

My stay at Tenuta Montelaura was incredible, the owners were very kind and hospitable. We stayed during the offseason, but Flavia, the owner opened the kitchen for us and we had an amazing meal featuring products from their farm and regional area. Si mangia bene at Tenuta Montelaura!

Excellent service, personal and professional, and excellent quality food. The estate is surrounded by nature, perfect for trekking. Kudos to the owner for her management.
