Casa Aulivo welcomes guests into an 18th-century residence overlooking the Volturno valley and the Tifatini Mountains, situated in the heart of Caiazzo's historic center. As soon as you step inside, the authentic character of the house is evident, with cement tiles, period fixtures, tuff walls, and Sorrento-style railings that tell the story of the village. The ancient orange grove and the oil mill, featuring stone basins and a cast-iron press, preserve the atmosphere of the past, enhanced by careful restoration that reveals original details and introduces retro touches inspired by family memories.
From the terrace, one can gaze upon the Lombard castle with the Aragonese Tower, the bell tower, and the dome of San Pietro, while the Volturno River and mountain silhouettes stretch out in the background. The location allows for easy access to the Royal Palace of Caserta, Mount Vesuvius, the Matese region, and Naples airport.
The spacious and bright room with a view can accommodate couples, families, or small groups, featuring a double bed, a single bed, and the option to add more sleeping arrangements. The bathroom includes a shower and double sinks. The larger suite consists of distinct areas with exposed stone, wooden beams, a fireplace, a visible bathtub, and a cozy sleeping area with separate beds. It is equipped with a minibar, kettle, herbal teas, an espresso machine, and available water.
The oil mill embodies the soul of the house: a charming space enriched with historical tools and an original masonry kitchen with stoves, an oven, and a food warmer. Here, the deep connection between the residence and its land is felt.
Breakfast follows the seasons and is served on the panoramic terrace or in the dining room with a fireplace. It includes sweet and savory options, typical local products, and ingredients from the family garden. Special preparations are made for guests with celiac disease, vegans, vegetarians, and those with intolerances.
Damiano, a professional photographer, artist, and countryside enthusiast, warmly welcomes guests with simplicity and care, preparing breakfast and coffee with a moka pot to start the day with a homely touch.
The area is peaceful and convenient for walking. The residence is located amidst the narrow streets of the historic center, just a few minutes from two parking areas and the train station. The village offers monuments, scenic views, and numerous eateries where visitors can enjoy typical dishes or high-quality gastronomic offerings without needing to use a car.
