What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Every bit of produce on Don Alfonso’s Mediterranean menu comes from his nearby 17-acre organic farm, where olive and lemon trees grow alongside the vegetables and herbs that inform the seafood-focused menu.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Sant'Agata crowns a hilltop ridge above Sorrento, looking out across both the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.
The rooms
Vaulted ceilings arch over bright pink palettes and hand-painted mosaics, and each bathroom has a private Jacuzzi tub.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped umbrellas and carved stone pinecones line the heated pool, which looks out over the village church dome.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890
Crystal chandeliers and floral displays brighten the dining room, where the kitchen turns regional recipes into innovative tasting menus.
At the table
Breakfast arrives on the terrace with pastries and cappuccino, and wine is poured beneath dark green parasols before dinner.
How it began
The family used ancient maps to excavate a pre-Roman tunnel beneath the house, which now cellars 25,000 bottles of wine.
