The location of habitat eco farm is fantastic. To reach it, we travelled by bus from sorrento (it leaves from the plaza just down the road from the station on a regular timetable which was sent to us prior to our arrival) and takes you up the hill. Fares were cheap at only €1.30 per person, but remember to bring some cash, as the driver does not have a card reader! The farm was easily walkable from where the bus drops you off at Casarlano, but bear in mind it’s a 10 minute walk up a hill. We did this a couple of times, but the hosts were extremely kind to pick us up by car and drive us the final bit to the farm especially in the evening. Just down the road from the farm, next to where the bus drops you is a lovely restaurant called La Colline Di Sorrento. It’s self serve, but we ate there twice, lovely food and a nice, relaxed and informal atmosphere.
The farm itself is nestled in a peaceful area with an incredible view, especially in the morning, of sorrento and the sea, with Vesuvius in the background.
Accommodation:
Staying in the tent was a brilliant experience. Super relaxing with a really comfy bed. We felt at home right away! Bear in mind it can get a little colder at night as you are about 300m above sea level, so I would recommend a jumper for night, at least in late September when we went!
In order to be more environmentally conscious, the shower is an eco shower, meaning it is warmed by the sun. Just consider that the water may get a little cold, especially in the early morning and evening! The toilets, whilst being in a cabin, are very well maintained, and were very clean and well stocked for the whole duration of our stay. The rest of the farm is a lovely place to visit, with nice seating areas, hammocks and a shared kitchen area including a shared fridge where we ate breakfast in the mornings.
Hosts:
The hosts were the final piece of the puzzle to make our stay amazing, thank you so much, especially to Thiago the dog, who is SUPER CUTE!
