Today we want to introduce you to one of the most evocative yet little known archaeological sites in Sorrento.

“The planting of nymphaeums and fish ponds”

We find the remains of the structures built at sea level that were part of the complex of the Villa of Agrippa Postumo (nephew of the Emperor Augustus) I century. BC, an extraordinary Roman Domus.

  • The maritime layout of the villa was the most important element and is made up of a Major Nymphaeum, which was entirely covered with mosaic, and a Minor Nymphaeum, covered with glass mosaic, both located in the tufaceous ridge under the current Villa Pompeiana.
  • Inside the nymphaeum there were waterfalls thanks to a complex hydraulic system The bare and well-smoothed rock is the dominant element, but where the tufaceous rock was missing, the construction technique of the reticulate was adopted (opus reticulatum or reticolatum) still clearly visible .
  • The remains of the nymphaeums, dating back to the second half of the second century. a.c., which constitute the most extraordinary ensemble of this kind of works that is preserved today, is accessible on foot via a small path that passes behind the bathing establishments of the beach of San Francesco. The beach can be reached on foot or by lift from the Villa Comunale in the historic center of Sorrento or from the Marina Piccola (the Port of Sorrento from where hydrofoils leave for the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, Positano, Amalfi and Naples.

The fish pond, on the other hand, can only be visited by sea, at the time the sea water was about one meter lower as can be seen from many structures that are now submerged, including the walkways inside the cave.

  • In the Roman civilization, as in the Greek one, nymphaeum refers to those structures where people stopped, banquets were set and where moments of otium were spent.
  • The fish pond was a fish farming system widely used by the ancient Romans and was used to preserve freshly caught fish in artificial tanks, in order to keep it alive until consumed, or to preserve it through the salting process.
  • The more than 2,000 years of history, the looting and the storms, have pulverized much of this extraordinary home. But still today, by carefully observing the tunnels, the artificial canals where the water sources gushed out and the now bare nymphaeums with crystallized salt between the lines of the opus reticulatum, you can glimpse a piece of Sorrento history.

In one of our rooms of the B&B , entirely dedicated to the sea, you will find small and large finely crafted and hand-painted inserts, passing from the central chandelier of the room depicted by a fish, to small sea fish on the walls, to remind you that Sorrento, the Amalfi coast they are lands of sea and sun, lands unique in the world that wait, welcome visitors from all over the world in a unique and professional way.

This absence of tourists given by Covid made us reflect and perhaps enjoy and respect our lands, nature, the sea, the sky, we with art want to remind you, our friends, past and future guests to help our seas , and respect the environment, we want everyone to enjoy.

We are expecting new friends at the Bed and Breakfast shortly, always hoping that the Covid situation in the world will pass soon, hoping that the United States, South America, Brazil, Argentina, India and all the other countries in the world still in difficulty will overcome soon as the our and your Italy this bad and difficult moment.

A small sign at the entrance, to remind those who enter our Bed and Breakfast in Sorrento that you are Welcome, our dear artist Luigi on a wooden panel over 100 years old wanted to write to our guests that you are welcome. Above the face of the tree, remembering that at Casa Mazzola in addition to art, comfort, all the services we offer, quality, typical Italian hospitality, we must not forget that nature, the environment is essential for complete relaxation and we want to remind everyone to respect it.

With a cleaner environment, breathable air, respecting our countries and our cities, we live better and certainly longer, this face placed on an olive tree at the entrance of our Bed and Breakfast wants to remember this, help us to respect Nature

In the Sorrento Peninsula, as in the Amalfi Coast, there is a lot of greenery and sea, the air is good, but we must still respect all this.

During this forced closing period, our actions to improve Casa Mazzola Bed and Breakfast continue to be vigorous, always focused on art, diversity, uniqueness, always trying to create beautiful and unique things for our friends and for our future guests, who will choose to travel to Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Naples and the beautiful Island of Capri.

In this sun cover called Il Volo, the journey is reported, the flight of birds that want to spend their migration to Sorrento, the white color symbolizes the cleanliness of the flight,  the blue of the birds is the color of the sky with its a thousand shades.

 

Casa Mazzola B&B will open again in July with some reservations, hoping that those who travel again to our beautiful Italy, want to see, taste something different and unique as in our Bed and Breakfast, choosing a structure like ours, familiar, artistic, quiet, which offers a unique panorama of the coast, a view of the Gulf of Naples and all services that make an unforgettable holiday.

Work is continuing in this period of shut down  to make the Casa Mazzola Sorrento Bed and Breakfast more and more beautiful, more and more artistic, offering always different things to our past and future friends.

In this wall or artistic work it was covered with particular Apulian stones, chosen for the very particular yellow color, from ancient glass tiles dating back to the beginning of the century, glass mosaics (made by Luigi), Cave Canem mosaics, recalling Pompeii the Romans and our history.

Cave Canem, literally “beware of the dog”, is used spiritually nowadays as a warning sign at the entrance of the houses to say “beware of the dog”.

The writing derives from a famous mosaic recalling the cave canem which is found in the archaeological excavations of Pompeii, on the entrance floor of the Casa del Poeta.
