Villa Massa Lemon Grove "Le Grottelle"

Sorrento IGP Lemon and Limoncello

The prestigious Sorrento IGP Lemon (European recognition of Protected Geographical Indication) is native to Meta.

Traditionally, the Massa family never failed to offer guests a taste of their homemade limoncello, a liqueur made from the best fruits of the family's lemon grove.

The Lemon Grove "Le Grottelle" of Villa Massa is a historic lemon garden with a breathtaking view.
Just a few hundred meters from the center of Meta, it takes its name from the ancient path that once connected Sorrento with the hinterland.

With about 200 lemon trees, the plantation is terraced and enjoys a splendid panorama of the plain of Sorrento and the Gulf of Naples.

The garden has been restored to its former glory thanks to the efforts of Villa Massa and can be visited by appointment.
