Home description
CASA CARLINO is a traditionally built Volcanic Tufo-Stone detached house located in the ancient hamlet of Metrano just a few kilometres from Sorrento. Metrano itself has shops, restaurants and a bar. The property has recently undergone complete restoration & modernisation and boasts excellent views of the Bay of Naples and on a clear day as far as the islands of Ischia and Procida.
There is also a Sun Terrace with fantastic views situated on top of the property with two sun loungers, a parasol, barbecue, a table and 6 chairs, perfect for al-fresco dining!
The Massa Lubrense area is central for many places of interest, of both beauty and culture. With the famous towns of Sorrento and Amalfi just a short drive away and the Isles of Capri, Ischia and Procida all very easily accessible. Also not to be missed are visits to the breathtaking town of Ravello and the historical and archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and of course Mount Vesuvio.

The Campania region
Campania region , as well as being rich of natural and historical beauties, it is also famous because it provides a range of high-quality products such as lemons, oil and cheese, all acknowledged for their excellence at both national and European levels.
The layout of the land, the climatic and environmental conditions as well as the traditional methods of cultivation have all contributed to the creation of extensive terraces of lemon groves along the slopes rising from the sea.
Moving away from the coast and up the sun-facing hills you can find vineyards supplying excellent red and white wines to accompany the typical dishes of this area. Chestnut trees providing the wood for the stakes and listels of the trellises and pagliarelle cover the shadier slopes.
The oil produced here has a characteristic taste and aroma which distinguish it and give it its high market value. The European Community recognises this product as D.O.P. (Denomination of Protected Origin) thanks to its unique qualities.
Apart from these commercially important products, visitors will be able to see how each rural home has its own small garden growing quality tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, beans etc. These vegetables are not only for family consumption, but also provide the traditional dishes which have made many local restaurants famous.
Sorrento / Metrano area
Massa Lubrense is a watering place situated in a beautiful and favorable position at the headland of the 'penisola sorrentina'. Not far from the city, on the way up to the hill we find S. Agata sui due Golfi, extraordinary spot with a breath taking panorama on both the 'Golfo di Napoli' and 'Golfo di Salerno'. At the very end of the way down to the sea, we find Marina del Cantone, the largest beach of the peninsula.
Here it is possible to take a boat by which Capri, Positano and Amalfi, really wonderful 'pearls of the world' are reachable: Capri and Anacapri, which is a beautiful town to visit, offer fantastic views of the peninsula of Sorrento. There is a chairlift which takes you from Capri to Anacapri.
Mount Vesuvio is very easily reachable by either car, bus or train (about 45 minutes). You can take a walking trip to the top of the volcano from where you can see the inside of the cratere as well as views on Pompeii and Herculaneum. Both Pompeii and Herculaneum are historical sites which were buried by the ashes of Vesuvio.
Private tours available on request (extra charge depending on the destination).

Guestbook
Aldo,
we had a fantastc time. The house was well positioned for the main attractions of Naples and the Amalfi coast. Moreover, the welcome from your family and their sincere interest in our welfare throughout our stay gave us a real sense of the Southern Italian way of life.........I almost got used to the Italian way of driving!
Julian
Hi Aldo and Deborah,
Have just got back from Italy this weekend. We enjoyed ourselves at Casa Carlino very much and found Margarita very kind and helpful. The books and pamphlets came in very handy. The directions to Casa Carlino were perfect.
J Rampling
Hi Aldo,
really enjoyed our stay at your property. Your niece Margorita did and excellent and very enthusiastic job of showing us round the apartment which was even better than we expected. We enjoyed the local restaurants and especially the local alimentaire. All your family were very friendly and welcoming. We were amazed at the size of Pompei and walked up Vesuvius as well as visiting the main local towns.
Belinda
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Casa Carlino. The pictures of the property were acurate and the house was extremly comfortable. The property was well maintained and there were lots of inclusions to make our stay feel just like a second home. The hospitality of the owners family was just great and we would recommend this place to everyone. Central location close to lots of attractions. The locals in the area were also very friendley and always willing to help. A great central spot out of the central tourist hub yet still close enough . Worth a stay in the area as the views along the coastline were breathtaking. Thankyou for a great week!
Thank you we had a wonderful week just wish it was longer. The house was all we hoped for, lovely and clean and perfectly placed to explore the beautiful Naples Bay area. We loved the setting and having hired a car (only for the bravest drivers) we appreciated the use of the secure garage. All in all a perfect week of sun and adventures. We thank you, Margherita and Mama Aldo for looking after us so well.
Our stay was extremely comfortable with Casa Carlino more than meeting our expectations. The hospitality given by Margherita who looks after the house, was really lovely and it was reassuring to know that she was on hand if we needed her. The Views from Casa Carlino and the surrounding area are breathtaking and being that the house is situated in a small village, we still felt in the heart of the Napolitan atmosphere. Aldo and his family were all very helpful to us both throughout the booking process and also during our stay.
