Our family is made up of three unique souls: myself, Vincenzo Luca — an Italian language and culture teacher with a passion for art, local history, and the rich traditions of Southern Italy — my partner Marianna, a kind-hearted educator who works with children and teenagers, and our gentle giant, Demon, a Central Asian Shepherd dog who is loving, calm, and never aggressive.
We live between the sea and the mountains, surrounded by sunshine, ancient trails, and the scent of the Amalfi Coast. We love nature, off-road adventures in our 4x4, mountain hikes, and exploring the history of Salerno and its medieval heart. Our home is warm, full of books, good food, and southern hospitality — a place where guests can experience authentic Italian life in harmony with culture and nature.
We are a warm and welcoming Italian family from Salerno – Amalfi Coast. Our home is peaceful and full of character, with a beautiful view of the sea and the city — a place where history, nature, and tradition meet.
We love hosting guests from all over the world and sharing our culture, language, and everyday life. I am an Italian language teacher, and I enjoy helping guests improve their Italian in a natural and friendly way — through conversation, food, and real-life experiences.
We are passionate about cooking and often prepare traditional dishes together, organize informal cooking lessons, and enjoy dinners on our balcony with a sea view. When possible, we go to the beach together or arrange small boat tours along the coast to admire the landscape and relax in the sun.
We also like to explore the nearby hills in our 4x4, from which you can admire breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast and the Gulf of Salerno. Our dog is part of the family — calm, affectionate, and always happy to meet new people.
Guests staying with us can expect kindness, great food, relaxed conversations, cultural exchange, and the genuine feeling of being part of an Italian family, in one of the most beautiful corners of Southern Italy.
Classes are optional and not included in the price. The classes include slides and grammar explanations, but since this is an immersive experience, I only offer two hours a day, Monday through Thursday.
