Giovanni Forte is a Cilentan restaurateur deeply connected to his land. Born and raised in Licusati, in the heart of the Cilento National Park, he later chose Palinuro as the place where he would live and work, turning his passion for hospitality and cuisine into a true profession. He is the owner of one of the best-known restaurants in the area, “Da Isidoro”, a reference point for those who want to discover the authentic flavors of Cilento. His philosophy is based on promoting local products and preserving the gastronomic traditions of the territory. A great enthusiast of extra virgin olive oil and wine, Giovanni is also a producer and loves sharing the Cilentan food and wine culture with his guests, recommending experiences, restaurants, and routes to discover the local excellences. For him, welcoming guests means making them feel part of his land: with authentic advice, attention to detail, and that genuine hospitality that truly represents the spirit of Cilento.

La Casa di Nonna was born from a simple and authentic story made of family, roots, and love for the land. In the heart of Licusati, a small and charming village in the municipality of Camerota, two sisters decided to transform their paternal grandparents’ home into a modern and welcoming holiday house. Their dream was to bring new life to a place full of memories and meaning. Within these walls, their parents grew up surrounded by the values, scents, and traditions of the village. Today the family lives in Palinuro, but their bond with Licusati has never faded. From this connection comes the desire to enhance the village, its treasures, and its authentic identity: extra virgin olive oil, local products from the land, rural traditions, and the slow rhythms that make this corner of Cilento so special. Licusati is a place where time seems to flow more gently, far from mass tourism, perfect for those seeking authenticity and tranquility. La Casa di Nonna combines modern comfort and contemporary design with a warm and familiar atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home. The spaces, carefully designed, reflect a new idea of hospitality: elegant, intimate, and deeply connected to the local territory. Staying at La Casa di Nonna means experiencing stories, traditions, and genuine hospitality in the heart of a village that still preserves the beauty of authentic life.
