First, let me say that we did not know that a tour of the facility was even possible or without question we would have tried to fit it in during my daughter and my 3 night's stay in Sorrento. Nonetheless, we visited his showroom and gift shop in Sorrento on several different occasions and met one of his sons and Master Mastellone himself there. We had visited a number of shops in Sorrento looking for unique gifts and while there were several shops that were selling very nice inlaid wood art, they did not measure up to the wonderfully vibrant colors, variety and designs created by Giuseppe and his two sons. Every item was absolutely amazing and so unique that nothing compared to anything we had seen at the other stores. We purchased a number of items including coasters, a jewelry box and a catchall. Several of the items will be given as gifts so I am quite certain we will be looking to order more now that we have returned back to the U.S. If you are in the Sorrento area you owe it to yourself to stop in the store or better yet tour his facility to experience firsthand a truly wonderful family of incredible craftsmen!

This tour/experience/tutorial provided an extraordinary insight into how three Old World craftsmen — Giuseppe Mastellone and his two sons — continue to keep a longstanding artistic tradition alive. We had previously seen and had been very impressed by their shop in Sorrento, featuring brightly colored boxes with geometric designs, classic intarsia tables, chessboards, and other objects. Next, we scheduled a visit to their workshop in the suburb of Sant’Agnello, just a 12-minute drive from Sorrento’s Piazza Tasso. It was amazing to witness how layers of almost wafer-thin exotic woods are cut and then fit into precisely shaped patterns. Master Giuseppe and his two sons were very warm and welcoming, and helped us make some small inlaid pieces ourselves! This was a memorable experience to have on our 30th wedding anniversary, and we have ordered some additional pieces for gifts from our new friends since returning to the United States.

This family run business opened their workshop to us and taught us so much about wood and how the process of inlaid wood is done. They are excellent craftsmen and delightful people. A very worthwhile trip!

This was the very best thing I did while visiting the region. The incredible skill, creativity, passion and sense of history this family business demonstrates is incredible. The tour was highly informative and worth every bit of the time and cost. Our host was gracious and very personable. I highly recommend this.

Well worth the walk.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the inlaid wood tour. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable and that came across in the explanation of the craft. Beautiful designs and we got to make a little keepsake to take away. Thank you

Our tour was a wonderful experience. We got a step by step of the inlaid woodworking process and a bit of the history of the trade in Serrento. Making our own sample helped us to understand the skills needed to create the masterpieces found in the Master's studio. It is a family business of father and two sons that enjoy what they do, passing down a tradition to the next generation.
A quick trip to their shop (on our own) in town to purchase a few pieces to take home was the icing to the cake. We highly recommend this tour!

Fascinating to watch the craftsmen at work. The factory is more like a workshop as it was small and everything was done by hand. They let us try our hands at making a coaster. Actually putting this piece together gives you a greater respect for how intricate and detailed the process is. Owner was very welcoming and friendly. Their finished products are stunning!
