The Country Houses
Le Peracciole
Where the Sorrentine Peninsula ends, in the middle of the sea, near Capri, Alfonso Iaccarino grows vegetables, fruit, olives, and lemons. Termini (roughly, “the end”), is the rather apt name for this place, and Le Peracciole is the name of the Iaccarino’s farmhouse business.
Acting as one with the restaurant, the Iaccarino’s estate provides the restaurant kitchen with fresh, high quality raw ingredients for their dishes, as well as to create the Don Alfonso 1890 oil, preserves, and liqueurs, which you may sample and buy from the restaurant show room.
"For us, great cuisine is born in the field, just as great wines are born on the vine ": this phrase sums up the beliefs of Livia and Alfonso Iaccarino, and as usual they are right. It may be due to the land, the sun, the panorama, but here everything they grow, amongst which basil, tomatoes, olives, and lemons, has a unique perfume, flavor, and color, which you can only find here on the Sorrentine Peninsula, and not anywhere else in the world.
The Iaccarino family knows this well, and Livia and Alfonso, along with their sons Ernesto and Mario, share these great pleasures every day, in Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, with the restaurant and relais guests.
Simply ask, and you will be accompanied to visit the country houses Le Peracciole, the authentic heart of Don Alfonso 1890 cuisine.
