Cook at Seliano
Weather and Clothes

 

We will be providing beautiful aprons with the Bellelli crest. Jeans or cotton pants or shorts and a T-shirt or cotton shirt are appropriate cooking attire. For the two touring days, comfortable clothes, not dressy clothes, are appropriate.

Pool

August
The weather at the end of August is hot, but not nearly as steamy as July and the beginning of August. Bring a bathing suit so you can take a dip in the Seliano’s gorgeous pool. Men do not need jackets.

December
The weather during the last week of the year is quite variable. It can be in the 40s and overcast or rainy one day, sunny and in the low 60s the next -- good cooking and eating weather, says Cecilia. Actually, the weather can vary that much in one day. Naples and Salerno are particularly enjoyable at this time of the year. The weather is not oppressively cold or hot. The season is so festive, and there are so many special foods and dishes to try. If you bring a sweater and a medium-weight jacket or coat, plus pajamas for night, you will be fine. The farm rooms are well-heated. (A rain coat with a zip-out lining is the perfect coat.). In December, men may want to bring a sports coat or blazer, but mainly for warmth and pockets, not formality. For our New Year’s Eve party, I’d recommend festive, but casual attire.

March
March is early spring in Campania. The peach trees should be in bloom. Still, a sweater or light coat may be handy.

June
The weather has warmed up by the end of June, yet it is not as hot or humid as full-blown summer. The swimming pool should be enticing. The same clothing you bring for late August applies to late June.
