Our farm

A family story, since the 17th century

The Musto family has been tied to Acquavella since the 17th century.
Of its ancient noble origins, all that remains today is the family house and four hectares of land, which we look after with the gratitude of those who feel they have received a gift, and, with it, the responsibility to take care of it.

The land

A place where the land is still part of life

Acquavella is a small village in the Cilento region, resting on a hill that looks out to the sea.
Here, in the heart of the birthplace of the Mediterranean Diet, life still follows the rhythm of the seasons, and olive growing has been handed down for almost three thousand years.

The National Park

A simple beauty that goes straight to the heart

The Cilento has a rustic beauty: small villages, hills covered in olive trees, mountains that turn blue in the morning, and a crystal-clear sea. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the home of the Mediterranean Diet, it is a land where nature, history and age-old traditions still live side by side in everyday life.
