My Campania...

If I were to show you a collection of photos of 'my Vancouver', I imagine it would be very different from 'your Vancouver'. Obviously then, the same holds true for when we travel. This of course, is determined by where we go, what we are drawn to... what sort of traveler we are.

You can tell a lot from people's travel photos. I wonder what you can derive about the way I travel from 'My Campania'...

Let me walk in a vineyard, let me stroll through some ancient streets. Let me nibble a local cheese, sip a homemade wine. Ultimately, I want the path less traveled... it's usually not as convenient, and sometimes you can't find all the necessities, but to me... it's where the magic is!

Mesogheo, Naples

Mesogheo is 45 minutes outside of Napoli and hour and a half south of Rome, yet it feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, it feels like it's in another world completely. Alongside the dirt road leading in is century old, gnarled and twisted olive trunks and grape vines left to grow naturally. Rosemary the size of small trees creates the entrance to the courtyard of the restored farmhouse, where the owners reside above the welcoming kitchen and small library. At the base of the Camposaro mountain, Mesogheo has 10 separate rooms in three “dependences” and two swimming pools. Each room is exquisitely decorated with furnishings from all over the world, creating its own serene and private haven.

Everything seems to slow down upon entering Mesogheo and it soon becomes obvious that it is purely a reflection of the owners. The philosophy of the hospitality is inspired by an idea of familiarity. Nothing is imposed, yet everything is available.
Thank you, Fabrizio and Lucia, for an amazing time spent in your world.
