 The Scintilla Restaurant: A refine and intimate place offering authentic Mediterranean cuisine, accompanied by a very comprehensive wine list.
The Cloister: the old cloister, the heart of the convent, is now used for exclusive wedding receptions and gala dinners.
The "Agrumeto": in summer you can enjoy a delicious but informal lunch in the shade of the orange trees around the swimming pool. |
 The sailing Boat “Vera”: The hotel has a sailing boat “Vera” at guest disposal for day trips to Capri or Positano – a unique experience one will never forget! The boat was originally a ketch fishing boat with fore-and-aft sails. She was launched in 1880 from the dockyard of H Hansen of Sveneke, Denmark and originally called “Sjertrude Marie”. In 1936 she was renamed “Vera”. She was transformed for recreational purposes in 1956 in the yards of Ring Andersen of Svendborg. Whilst the ship’s oak hull and armament remains the same, the interior was taken out and the deck covered in teak. An attempt was made at conservative restoration of the original armament, from the hand-sewn duradon sails to the manual rigging with hoists; from the hemp ropes to the wooden dead eyes. Vera conserves the historical reliability and the performance quality of Nordic sailing. According to accounts of the old maritime art, the ketch “Vera” is one of the oldest and most exclusive boats in navigation in the Mediterranean today. |
 Leisure & Sport: The simple pleasure of reading a good book in the fresh scent of the orange blossom, a game of tennis in the shade of the centuries-old pine; an hour of fitness or a sailing trip out to the Terra delle Sirene (Land of the Mermaids) and then at sunset, a long solitary swim. Outdoor swimming pool - Tennis courts - Fitness centre - Gymnasium - Spa - Water skiing (on request) - Windsurfing (on request). |
 Public Areas: In the 18th century the Cocumella fascinated Goethe and other scholarly travellers who were in love with Italian culture. Today, its charm lies in its refined ambience where the past is rediscovered, a mid-way point between a cultural place and spiritual refuge. The 18th century reception rooms welcome guest among the blue silk of San Leucio, the gilt mirrors and the old ceramics from Faenza. The red Cardinals from the rooms named after them observe the comings and goings of the guests, while the silence of the 18th century church is broken by baroque concert music. |
 The Park: There in the Cocumella there where the mixed orange flowers and violet lilies grow, there where “we eat lemons which with difficulty we hold with both hands” wrote Friedrich Leopold Stalberg. The park/garden of the Cocumella, enriched over the centuries, is an excellent example of passion and of research. It alone is worth the visit. In May the Cloister terrace is a glorious triumph of ancient roses which you can be assured have never been subjected to the violence of a graft. The entrance path is protected by an enormous wisteria from a coarse trunk that is more than a hundred years old. Towards the sea, beds of camelias… and of peonies, spectacular yuccas from sword-shaped leaves, geranium bushes, grapes which weight heavily on the nets, kiwi, bright magnolias, a miraculous flowering plant which each day for three days turn a different colour…and above all citrus fruits with a scent that will intoxicate you! |
