Highlights
  • 8FGPR9WQ+XMQ - Arrived at the Ranch, which is located within the Vesuvius National Park about 200 meters above sea level, you will find our horses to welcome you. After a brief but exhaustive lesson in the field of orientation with notes on the ethological methodologies used we will walk out. The same will last about an hour and will take place entirely within the Vesuvius National Park between green and narrow paths and woods, all with breathtaking landscapes. On the way back, if you like, you can help with grooming the horses and then an aperitif with local products will be served at the clubhouse

Additional Information

Utilizing solely ethological and natural methodologies grounded in communication, respect, and partnership, I adopt an approach with horses both on foot and atop the saddle, inspired by the acclaimed system of renowned horseman Pat Parelli. This opportunity will invite you to connect with these magnificent creatures (horses) in a way that diverges drastically from traditional violent and coercive methods. All of this unfolds within the beautiful boundaries of the Vesuvius National Park.

Location
Piazza Ferrovia
Outside the "Pollena Trocchia" stop circumvesuviana - Pollena Trocchia (Na)

Wonderful experience - What a wonderful way to spend your time in Italy, on the back of a horse riding through the park. The host was so accommodating and friendly and not only provided a lot of helpful tips but also some great information of the area we were riding. Afterwards we ended with aperitivo at the ranch which was a perfect end. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Must-see! - An unforgettable experience! We had the chance to ride Vesuvius with Carlo, a passionate and attentive Guide. Panoramic views of Naples Bay and volcanic landscapes are simply breathtaking. Whether you are a Newbie or an experienced rider, Carlo makes sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the ride to the fullest. The experience ends in style with a delicious outdoor aperitif, offering a perfect moment of relaxation to conclude this adventure. A real enchantment, I highly recommend!

Great host and enjoyable experience on horseback. - Carlo was a wonderful guide and host! The experience was enjoyable and the bruschetta with fresh Vesuvian tomatoes, and mozzarella along w wine, water or soft drinks was a welcome end to the experience. You do not have to be an experienced rider as we had an orientation to the calm horses prior. He took pictures for us so we could enjoy the ride and sent them to us after. His dogs are the sweetest! Would do again!

Nice tour in the terrain - Was greeted by the owner Carlos at the local train station. Arrived shortly after the farm with many horses. A good place for horses in a good environment. The trip took a little over an hour along road and terrain, forest paths. We were guided and told about the area. Back on the farm we had a simple and good lunch with water and wine. The horses are calm and we cost ourselves.

Excellent trek - Carlos was a brilliant host. He collected us from the station on time, and he immediately began the tour by informing and telling us about the area and the history. The horses and the farm were brilliant. Me and my daughter loved every bit. In fact from our 3 day stat in naples, this was our favourite activity. Would fully recommend.

10/10 experience - Amazing experience from start to finish. Carlo was a fantastic host and a great teacher, very knowledgable of the Vesuvius. Horses were very well behaved, perfect for first-time or nervous riders. The lunch at the end provided by Carlo was excellent.
