A taste of Campania
Pizza, mozzarella, and “sfogliatelle”
You can’t really appreciate Campania’s cuisine until you’ve tasted it there. The buffalo mozzarella you’ll find in Caserta is produced just a few kilometres from the hotel, using fresh milk that’s processed by hand every morning. Neapolitan pizza is made from dough that has been left to rise for a long time and is baked in a wood-fired oven using the finest local flours. A freshly baked, flaky “sfogliatella” pastry, still warm, with a proper espresso: it’s one of those unforgettable experiences. Are you ready to be enchanted by Campania?
Royal breakfast
Homemade cakes, every morning
The day begins with the aromas from the kitchen: carrot cake, coffee cake, and Aversana Polish cake, all freshly baked every morning. Espresso is made with freshly ground beans, and the cannolo is filled right at your table. It’s not just any old wake-up call: it’s a ritual.

Our food recommendations
Must-try dishes in the Caserta area
The plains between Caserta and Salerno are at the heart of the production of Campania buffalo mozzarella. Some local farms offer guided tours with tastings, where you can watch buffalo milk being processed and taste it while it’s still warm. Ask us which one to visit: we know the area like the back of our hand.
Naples is just a few minutes’ train ride from Caserta station. If you’re looking for an authentic pizza in the historic centre, with a thick crust and cooked in a wood-fired oven, we’ll give you the right addresses: not the ones in the tourist guides, but the places where the Neapolitans themselves eat.
The authentic curly “sfogliatella”, with its thin flaky pastry and a filling of ricotta and semolina that’s still warm, can be found in the traditional patisseries of Naples and Caserta. Early in the morning, with an espresso. Do not replace it with an airport version.
Campania has a wine-making tradition stretching back a thousand years: Aglianico del Taburno, and Falanghina del Sannio are the wines to look out for in restaurants in the area. Ask our team for advice: we’ll tell you what to pair with each dish.
Caserta market is the place where the local area speaks for itself: cheeses, cured meats, seasonal vegetables, and homemade preserves. It’s worth popping in, even if it’s just to have a look round. Swing by reception for some personalised advice.
