Aquapetra Resort & Spa
Our mission at Savour the Sannio is to extol the beauty, history and culinary wealth of the Sannio.
Rebuilt from the ruins of a medieval borgo or hamlet and painstakingly restored (the landscaping alone took 11 years!) the centre overlooks immense groves of pristine oaks and silent olives. In the distance rises La Dormiente, or ‘The Sleeping Woman’ as the Taburno mountain is called, due to the resemblance of its outline to a female figure at rest.
It is a calm and gracious setting that gently envelopes you in its silvery-green landscape.
All rooms are equipped with SKY TV and wi-fi internet connection. Prices include a generous buffet breakfast, the use of the pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath and a top line of cosmetics. The complex has a large glass-panelled meeting-room which boasts a spectacular 360° panorama, ideal for motivational and executive meetings, along with beautiful dining facilities that offer regional, national and international cuisine.
Campo di Fragole:
Located in the quiet and isolated countryside just outside S. Agata dei Goti this lovely B&B is run by Fiamma and her husband, dedicated anglophiles with a passion for the Beatles (thus their name: Campo di Fragole = Strawberry Fields). The place feels like a lovely cottage in the English countryside. Visit their website
