Agriturismo Valle degli Ulivi In Contursi terme

Amazing people and food...and the wine too :)

Today, almost by chance, my wife and I stumbled upon this delightful place, blessed by nature. The real highlight, besides the excellent dishes, is the welcome from Mr. Giovanni, a true gentleman, whose blue eyes and life stories captivate you and instill so much energy and zest for life—the real one, not the one adulterated by the contemporary world. Excellent dishes, truly abundant, food and wine supply chain entirely or almost entirely local. We spent a peaceful hour, but what's more, we knew we had truly met a wonderful person. Ad maiora, Giovanni, we hope to see you again soon. Rino and Claudia

This morning, we were visiting the Pertosa Caves and looking for a place to eat on the way to Naples. We found Agriturismo Parisi on Google. We were greeted by a young man who immediately told us the entire menu, and we decided to have just one appetizer and one first course each. The appetizer was generous and varied; we sampled cured meats, cheeses, parmigiana, caponata, potatoes and crusco peppers, and an asparagus frittata. For our first course, we had a plate of chickpea lagane with lard and bell peppers, and a fresh pasta dish with sausage and mushrooms. Given the abundance, we didn't order a second course; we finished the meal with an excellent cherry crumble and a coffee. The total cost was €40, excellent value. The staff was friendly and welcoming; we'll definitely be back.

Did we find this place by chance on Google? We were drawn in by the excellent reviews. It was a great discovery for us. The place is beautifully maintained, a true agriturismo. The great one. Giovanni, the owner, was so friendly and the food was truly excellent, making us feel right at home. If you're passing through, look it up; you'll have a fantastic experience.

I stayed at this agriturismo, which truly surprised me. Giovanni, the owner, welcomed us like old friends and immediately established a sincere and warm relationship. He let us taste all his specialties, one after the other, without ever holding back a plate. All the products were homemade, authentic and full of flavor, just like they used to eat in the olden days. The portions were enormous. At the end of the meal, he even offered us sweet liqueurs and chestnuts. And when the bill arrived, it was much lower than we expected. A simple, authentic place, and a welcome that is rarely found today. Highly recommended if you want to eat well and feel at home. We will definitely return when we are in the area.
