Thanks Rita! - My wife and I were picked up by Rita and her husband at the Massa Lubrense square, which was a very easy location for us to get to. Their lemon factory was 10 minutes away, and it had gorgeous views of the coastline and Massa Lubrense. We were welcomed with delicious, fresh lemonade and some lemon snacks. Rita walked us through her farm and shared her lemon expertise. We learned about the process of lemon growing. Her husband showed the grafting technique they use. Rita and her husband were very friendly and passionate about their lemons and they made the whole thing interesting and fun. At the end, we enjoyed some limoncello and other lemon drinks, and Rita and her husband dropped us off at the marina in Massa Lubrense, which was very nice of them. We had a blast. I didn't think a lemon tour would be so fun. Thanks Rita!

Definitely recommend! - We are so glad we had the opportunity to meet Rita and her family on their charming farm. The views were stunning, the lemons tasted amazing and we learned so much but what really stood out was the pride and joy that Rita radiates. They have created such a welcoming and memorable experience.

Amazing lemon farm tour and tasting - This experience far exceeded our expectations and was such a fun and unique way to experience Massa Lubrense and the culture of the region. Rita is extremely knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for the work her and her family has done for 3 generations. We stayed locally and had no issues finding the meeting point in centro Massa Lubrense. Learning about the different varieties of citrus, as well as lemons specifically, was enjoyable and trying all the drinks and treats was better. We would recommend this experience for anyone staying in the region or Massa Lubrense in particular.

Incredible in-depth lemon grove tour - If you're interested in learning the history of the lemon varieties in this region (the best in the world), learn the in-depth process from every stage from seed to mature fruit-bearing trees or learn to grow your own lemon tree in any climate, this tour is for you. Rita and her family have a beautiful business. Their farm is located with a picturesque view of the gulf of Naples. Her and her family are so welcoming, we felt like family from the moment she offered us lemonade and fresh lemons with sugar (the most delicious we have ever tasted). We were so impressed with our time at Ruocco Rita. Grazie, Rita and family!
