Things To Do
in San Valentino Torio

Creamy, buffalo-milk mozzarella and burrata are regional specialties—find them at local markets and cheese shops, often served with fresh tomatoes and basil.

Must-Try!

A slow-cooked onion and beef ragù typical of Campania, widely served in local trattorie and perfect with a glass of local wine.

Simple, home-style vegetable frittatas and roasted peppers using produce from the surrounding orchards and gardens.

Artisanal cured meats made by local producers; try them at markets or paired with bread and olive oil at enoteche.

Typical weekly market where locals buy fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, cured meats and household goods—great for tasting seasonal produce and picking up picnic supplies.

Small stands and bakeries offer quick bites like fried pastries, focaccia, panini and regional sweets; street food here is simple and fresh rather than elaborate.

Use polite greetings like 'Buongiorno' (good morning) and 'Buonasera' (good evening); handshake or light cheek kisses among acquaintances are common in social settings.

Dress respectfully when visiting churches—shoulders covered and no skimpy clothing; speak quietly and avoid flash photography where prohibited.

Meals are social and unhurried—avoid rushing, and it’s polite to wait until everyone is served before starting; say 'Buon appetito' before eating.

Use 'per favore' (please) and 'grazie' (thank you); directness is usually tempered with warmth and formality when meeting people for the first time.

Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory; leaving small change or rounding up the bill at cafés and modest restaurants is common, while 5–10% is acceptable in higher-end restaurants for excellent service.

Cash is widely used in smaller shops and cafés; credit and debit cards are accepted in many restaurants and larger stores but you may encounter minimums—contactless payments and mobile wallets are increasingly supported.

Mild weather, blooming orchards and fewer crowds—ideal for hiking, visiting markets and enjoying outdoor cafés; pollen can be high for allergy sufferers.

Hot and often humid, with long sunny days; expect local festivals and lively evenings in the piazza but plan midday activities in shade or indoors and stay hydrated.

Harvest season brings cooler temperatures, food festivals and fresh olive oil—great time for food-focused visits and vineyard tastings.

Mild compared with northern Europe but cooler and wetter—quiet tourist season, lower prices, and a good time for authentic local life and indoor cultural visits.

A network of trails on the Lattari Mountains offering panoramic views over the Amalfi Coast, valleys and vineyards—suitable for day hikes and more challenging treks.

Easily accessible from the Sorrento/Salerno area, Monte Faito has marked paths, lush chestnut woods and viewpoints ideal for photography and nature walks.

A famous and scenic coastal trail on the Amalfi side—reachable as a day trip and celebrated for dramatic sea views and cliffside pathways.

Protected areas with trails through beech forests and karst landscapes; quieter and less touristy than coastal hikes, good for spring wildflowers and autumn colors.
