Minori, once dotted with mills and pasta factories, is part of UNESCO and is nicknamed the "City of Taste" thanks mainly to its solid pasta-making tradition. The N’dunderi, a kind of large gnocchi made with ricotta, and the Scialatielli, shorter and thicker than spaghetti, are considered among the specialties of Minori. Maria, the hostess, has developed her own personal recipe for lemon n’duneri. They are divine!

The sober and comfortable style of the rooms, the simple and genuine cuisine, combined with the friendliness of the owners, make Villa Maria a place dedicated to those who want to discover the most authentic essence of typical Campanian hospitality.

The farm is accessible on foot through a deciduous forest alternating with eighty steps leading to the rooms and the restaurant. We advise our guests to inform us of their arrival time so we can arrange for luggage transport. To reach the town center, which is about 1 km away, a minibus service is available with daily runs approximately every hour (schedules are subject to change depending on the season).

Welcoming you with a warm handshake and a delicious fresh lemonade are Vincenzo and Maria, the hosts.

Vincenzo captivates guests with his spontaneity and entertaining anecdotes. Maria, on the other hand, lets her dishes speak, reflecting the passion and enthusiasm poured into this activity. Together, they will let you experience and appreciate country life, spending pleasant moments in their company. Vincenzo and Maria have also been featured in various television programs hosted by internationally renowned chefs such as Gennaro Contaldo, James Martin, David Rocco, who have chosen Villa Maria as an ideal destination to highlight the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.

Two simple yet special people who have succeeded in their goal of creating a small corner of paradise suspended between sky and sea.
