The Colella Family
Family hospitality is the essence of La Casereccia owned by the Colella Family: Papa Salvatore, Mama Tina and their three sons Giuseppe, Amerigo and Lorenzo.Ischia is in the heart and soul of this family who have lived on the island for generations. In fact the restauarant property was originally owned by Salvatore’s and Tina’s families long before they married. His family owned the land on the hill where the families hotel is now situated, while her family owned the land below where La Casereccia is located. The section in the middle, they purchased together after they married, uniting both families land and creating the property as it is today. Each family member contributes in an unique way to the running of the restauarant and hotel. Papa Salvatore makes liqueuers, wine, olive oil and preserves; Mama Tina’s delicious home cooked meals; Lorenzo’s famous woodfired pizza; Amerigo’s skillful maintenance and Giuseppe who assists with your every requirement while staying with the family. Nonna Assunta (Papa’s mother) can also be found in the restaurant overseeing the making of the pesto or helping Salvatore with his preserves.Ringo and Lucky, the families pet dogs will also greet you with a welcome bark and wag of the tail.
