Agriturismo La Dimora dei Cavalieri

We went as a large group of 17 and were treated as family from the start. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food was indescribably good and the dishes kept coming. We ate and drank for hours. The care that goes into each dish made with their own fresh farm ingredients is clearly evident. The grounds and the view of the surrounding countryside are amazing. If you are anywhere near this amazing agriturismo do yourself a favor and make a reservation and arrive with your appetite and enjoy one of the best meals you will ever have.

We had a fantastic one night stay at Dimora as a staging post between Salerno and Puglia. I’d highly recommend stopping in for the incredibly long lunch which is simply the perfect Italian dining experience - home cooked food, incredibly hospitality and an amazing view.

Hospitality is more than a technique or a service. It is something that springs from the heart, and when it appears, it is real, authentic. We wanted to eat, but we did not know that Monday was closing. Even so, Carmela, the lady who seems to be the owner, allowed us to spend some time on her pleasant terrace, offered us water, a coffee and some pieces of a delicious cake and a pancake that left us wanting to try the kitchen again. And it saved our day, as my 7 year old was starting to rage of hunger... So NO, we did not eat, nor did we stay, but I am sure, because of the treatment we received during our brief visit, which is a place worth visiting.

La Dimora dei Cavallieri has so far been the best restaurant I've been to in Italy! We were all super happy about the food and service! The food is very good, made with fresh and high quality ingredients. The stuff is extremely nice and welcoming and the place itself is cosy and clean! Super recommended!!

I was looking for an Agritourismo in the Basilicata region of Italy as a base for a walking/cycling holiday. Following a recommendation I booked a week’s stay at La Dimora dei Cavalieri. I have to say that this was a choice that I did not regret. The surrounding countryside is fantastic, and the location of La Dimora is idyllic. My wife and I could not have wished for a better location. Everything about our stay couldn’t be faulted. The rooms were clean, tidy and very comfortable and the swimming was especially welcome after a day’s walking/cycling. The restaurant made the weeks holiday extra special. The Sunday lunch is a 4-5 hour food fest, most of the meat, vegetables and flour for the homemade pasta are all grown on the family farm. The white faced lamb was some of the best lamb I have tasted. All the wine, mineral water and digestifs are included in a banquet where I stopped counting the courses after 12 dishes. The restaurant has a real buzz about the place and even though there were 120 plus guests for lunch the service was superb. I highly recommend La Dimora for anyone looking for an idyllic base to explore the south of Italy
