Bourbon Fort @branditoshouse

Structure description:

Two farmhouses dating back to 1830 immersed in 6,500 square metres of pine forest in the Vesuvius National Park. They were built as a change station for pack horses in an area rich in basalt quarries used to build retaining walls on the mountain such as the Briglie. One of the Casali was the home of a stableman with a cellar where the grapes were pressed and a large lava stone wood-burning oven which, because of its ability to retain heat, was used for so-called recovery cooking to cook food slowly even at night when people went to sleep! The other farmhouse was once the stable for the horses and is now our home. Brandito's is a small naturalistic oasis with a fauna that never ceases to surprise. The little fox of Vesuvius, rabbits and wild hares that cross the garden and the unmistakable cry of the woodpecker and the scops owl and then the robin and the flight of the peregrine falcon over endless bushes of broom and strawberry trees! In our garden there is a basalt quarry, now clearly disused, which over the years had been submerged and swallowed up by wild vegetation! It was with great joy that we wanted to bring back to life this 500 square metre area which, due to its geological conformation, reminded us of a real fort! Our Fortino Borbonico is an area intended for lovers of "domestic" camping with the possibility of using a bar and a refreshment area and to enjoy all the other spaces and services within our structure and to participate in events and activities scheduled! Brandito's often organises live music and theatre events, trekking routes and tourist tours on Vesuvius! This is how dreams take shape! So ... Brandito's!
