Against the setting of the Caiatine hills, in a panoramic position, about two kilometres away from Caiazzo and on the borders of the territory of Piana di Monte Vera, on the farm of the owners, the old Eighteenth century building springs, it has been recently renovated and is the heart of this farmhouse. The building and the land around are included in the big estate of the De Angelis family descending from Giuseppe Andrea who bought the feud of Caiazzo and the Longobard castle of the town from the marquises Corsi Salvati from Florence. In the past this building was inhabited by farm workers who were specialized in olive growing and cultivation of fruit plants. The De Angelis family made them move from the Sorrento Peninsula as the farmers from Sorrento were and are renowned growers of olive groves and orchards. The dining room is cosy and the four bedrooms are cared for and include furnishing in old style and private bathroom.
