Sustainable
When redesigning il cannito, the hosts have fully committed themselves to the principles of bioarchitecture. In addition, only regional materials were used for the renovation.
At il cannito, great value is placed on natural foods. All ingredients come from the region. The menu includes traditional and homemade specialties - from handmade jams and fresh fruit and vegetables to homemade pasta and fresh eggs.
The hosts work with an Indian family that has been living with them for 17 years.
The hosts generate their own energy, recycle and separate waste. Just 200 meters from the archaeological site of Paestum, they also cultivate an organic garden and an impressive food forest with art installations. Their goal is to contribute to biodiversity and grow natural foods.

Testimonials
Down the strada bianca, through the wild maquis, lies Cannito. Once the summer residence of friars, it has been updated and restored. A sundowner by the infinity pool is followed by dinner of, say, pasta with vongole, then sea bass in acqua pazza (tomato, chilli and caper broth – literally “crazy water”) with beautiful views of Capri.
