Privétour: Truffel-jachtervaring vanuit Sorrento met lunch

Mijn man en ik hadden de meest geweldige dag op dit avontuur. Onze chauffeur Luigi kwam ons ophalen van ons hotel in Sorrento en we reden er ongeveer 1. 5 uur, naar een prachtig gebied, waar we onze gids, Giuseppe, ontmoetten, evenals truffeljager Oreste en zijn hond Argo. We dronken koffie en croissants in een schattig klein café en gingen toen naar de berg om truffels te zoeken. Het landschap was prachtig en de wandeling was geweldig! We hadden de gelegenheid om vele malen te stoppen voor foto's en Giuseppe gaf veel interessante informatie over de omgeving en beantwoordde graag onze vragen. Argo vond 5 of 6 truffels, die we meenamen naar het restaurant, La Corte Dei Filangieri. In het restaurant hebben we de truffels schoongemaakt en hebben we een fenomenale maaltijd gehad, met meerdere gangen, inclusief de truffelgarnituur. Dit restaurant was uitstekend en de chef-kok praatte met Giuseppe en Luigi, terwijl we allemaal samen lunchten. De hele dag bood veel unieke kansen voor authentieke ervaringen, die we nooit zullen vergeten. We zijn zo dankbaar dat we dit avontuur hebben gevonden en bevelen het ten zeerste aan. Bedankt aan Luigi, Giuseppe, Oreste, Argo en chef Antonio Petrillo en personeel, voor een geweldige dag!

Must do if you like hiking (and truffle) Great attentive coordination by Giuseppe, informative professional friendly guide in Luciano and experienced hunters in Oreste and his dog Argo! We had an early start from sorrento but got delayed by the traffic (an accident on the narrow road near sorrento before the highway); but no worries, once we arrived at Volturara, we were met by Luciano and Oreste, had coffee and a croissant and headed to the mountain Despite a dry day; had a much than expected hunt (6 truffles with a few larger ones) with nice information about the region overall, the trail and truffle hunting by Luciano and Oreste. Lots of stops for a comfortable easy hike and picture taking opportunities After that we heading to the excellent restaurant with our prized truffles (check our other review of La Corte Dei Filangieri di Petrillo Antonio)

Everyone says this trip is out of this world and I agree... utterly amazing. Expensive yes... but worth every penny for this once in a life time experience. We must have had the worst weather you could ask for, torrential rain non stop but the experience was still fabulous. Our guide Guiiseppe was so enthusiastic and informative. We found truffles! We picked mushrooms! We were in the heart of the mountain in the most beautiful scenery it was stunning. Word of warning... you do need really good footwear this is not a stroll it is a heavy hard walk on very uneven ground. Another word of warning... the 3 course lunch was about 9 courses! Again amazing food and we cleaned our truffles and eat them on each course. We also got given some to take home. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough thank you to Guiseppe, the driver and our truffle guide for making this such a brilliant experience.
