Our story
A family, a plot of land in the Cilento National Park and the wish to bring it to life.
From a wooded plot to an organic farm
In Moio della Civitella, in the Cilento National Park, Cavalier Vincenzo Piluso decided to buy a plot of land managed by a forestry company called Il Tronco. Agriturismo Civitella was born and grew from an innovative business idea based on respect for the land and for quality.
The Piluso family, with commitment, passion and dedication, improved the whole area: they made the roads leading to the land passable, had the electricity and gas systems installed and built drip irrigation for the fields and the olive trees.
This is how the production of organic extra virgin olive oil began, known today as Moio Oil.
Milestones
- First: the land A forestry estate, roads to make passable, electricity, gas and irrigation to build.
- Then: Moio oil Organic extra virgin olive oil, ICEA certified.
- 1997: the farm stay In place of an old farm-machinery shed, a two-storey building is born.
- Today: a small basket New land, an Aleatico vineyard and high-quality local products.
The farm stay
In 1997 Cav. Piluso had another wish: to build a farm stay so that anyone could enjoy a period of peace and relaxation in this place immersed in nature.
The building has two floors. Downstairs, a dining room runs around the building, with a view of the garden. Upstairs, five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
Today the estate also includes a vineyard with Aleatico vines, offering a small basket of high-quality products, respecting nature and organic principles.
