History and philosophy
A’ Cràpa Mangia – all is well!
Vacationing in Italy, visiting an old mansion in a fabulous location high above the sea with an unparalleled view of the Gulf of Salerno – It was love at first sight.
Back in 1998, current owners acquired the abandoned estate near the village of Castellabate and, thanks to the help of their Italian architect friend Gianfranco di Mauro, restored it in a sustainable way, while respecting the traditional and regional farming heritage.
Green Initiatives
In designing the apartments, special attention has been paid to the protection of the historic architectural structures of the 17th century. The natural stone, wood, iron & stucco are the ancient Cilentan features that lend their charm to the rooms until today.

- Nobody has been resettled, and interventions in nature have been kept as minimal as possible
- Because the site is located in a national park (Parco Nazionale del Cilento), the restoration of old buildings is subject to many restrictions
- External walls and floor plans must be rebuilt true to the original. Local and environmentally friendly building materials were used
- Only indigenous species of plants are growing in the garden and courtyard area.
- Interference with the natural ecosystem and its biodiversity is minimized and compensated.
- There is no use of products harmful to nature in the natural environment

Public transport services the locality only twice a day, and therefore the use of the car is often essential and the use of public transport is unfortunately not really realistic. However, many guests get around on foot and use the walking route described and signposted by the operators

- Water is drawn from the apartments’ own deep well, which is tested regularly by a local laboratory. But there is also a connection to the municipal water supply
- There are backup tanks with a water treatment plant.This is composed of two elements: In the first step, water flows through a strainer that filters out all the impurities. It then flows though a second filter, designed to keep the lime content as low as possible. Three times a week, the filter is cleaned and rinsed with salt. The salt-flushed waters do not flow into the ground, but are discharged into the sewage system.
- Use of renewable energy is continually being increased.
- Solar energy is used to treat the hot water and is regularly monitored.
- The energy consumption is metered, energy saving targets are set and are regularly reviewed and adjusted.
- Usage of energy and resource saving technologies (e.g., LED lights, motion detectors and timers)
