This hotel is a gem! Not only is it in Paestum, one of the important sites for Greco-Roman history, it is a beautiful, family-run knock-out of a place to stay. I recommend it highly.

Conveniently located in traditional villa
Pleasant home like atmosphere in traditional Italian country house, a change from standard hotels. Within walking distance of the Greek temples & museum, a major advantage on busy weekends. Very good breakfast. Air conditioning & refrigerator not very cold. Nice high ceilings in rooms.

Well located and relaxing
This is a beautiful hotel in the countryside with lovely rooms, a great dining area and a swimming pool. Yet, it is also very well located and a very easy walk to the Greek Temples and the beach. The dinners they served were excellent and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. It is a very relaxing place to say.

Villa Rita - great pool.
Lovely hotel, perfectly placed for Paestum archaeological site. Room was good with air conditioning and breakfast had to be pre-booked. Swimming pool was welcome although we had to buy a hat to wear in the water, 3 euros, and 1 euro to hire a towel. Didn't realize until afterwards that there was a drying rail outside our window to hang wet costumes. Staff were all very friendly and organized a taxi back to the station (walked from station on way in but it was a decent walk, 20 minutes, and very hot) and printed out some seat reservations for us. The only gripe concerned the need to change our towels when we were only there for 2 nights so absolutely not necessary. Also the room was tidied on the first morning, when the new towels arrived we guess, which we weren't expecting nor wanted. The room was messy and things like passports were left on show so was a bit cross that someone had been in. I know it was done with the best of intentions but we were unaware that this would happen. Maybe have some notices to hang on the outside of the door saying room cleaning/ towels not required. Most hotels try not to change towels as often as they did for environmental reasons which we encourage. Apart from that, this family-run hotel was very good.

Stay cool at the Villa Rita
Nice venue. About a 10-15 minute walk to the temple complex...another 10 to the train station. Great pool.....on a hot day, take a break from the temples and cool off. Bigger than most hotel pools. Really nice. Got a nice breakfast on the 2nd day...didn't know about it the first day. I did not have dinner at the hotel. Clean and quiet. No problems.

Over all nice but strange check in.
Check in was a little weird as the young man who helped us really struggled with his English and was extremely nervous. He forgot to get our passport copied and the local tax charges. Very confused directions to the Greek ruins. The room was nice and clean, the bed comfortable, and the place easy to find. They had a great breakfast.

We were very impressed with two of the staff - Damion and Emanuel (Anglicized). They went out of their way and even moved their personal vehicles to give us access to free parking - that I was led to believe would be included. The location was quite good in that we were able to walk about during our stay. We did a walking tour of the city and were able to walk to the Colosseum to begin our tour. The restaurants within walking distance were okay - we don’t demand fine dining. The one that we were handed a business card to try was a disappointment. The rooftop lounge was fun, we shared an evening up there with a couple from the UK who travel frequently. We met them over breakfast. The young woman behind the bar was lovely and on a whole we found that we were very easily able to communicate with everyone in English.

A hidden gem. Beautiful, expansive property; peaceful, quiet, relaxing, and just a short walk to the archaeological sites. Owner Luigi & daughter Rita are attentive, knowledgeable, & helpful. The food there is also excellent. I spent 3 days/nights there out of 8 days in Italy and it was the most exquisite part of my trip.

Our reservation was not honored!
We made a reservation at the hotel filler return only to arrive at the hotel and be told no room at the inn. At check-in they said they have given all the rooms to people in buses that were coming so they had no room for us after we had made a reservation. So we would say stay where they honor your reservation not at this hotel!

Good hotel near ruins.
Comfortable room with softer mattress than typically found in Europe. Towels were very coarse so care needed to be taken while using - never seen anything like it in my life. Breakfast is good. 20 minute walk from train. 10minute walk from museum. Would stay here again.

Lovely family-run hotel
We stayed 2 nights in July in this lovely hotel . Beautiful pool and gardens, large comfortable rooms and good food. Beach 15 minutes' walk away and the stunning Greek temples close by. .Rita picked us up from the railway station at Paestum and her father dropped us back. We didn't have a car but for a longer stay you might need to have one to go further afield.

Wonderful, charming place to stay. Luigi, the proprietor, and his daughter, Rita (the Rita is her grandmother), are such wonderful people - you will love them and the great atmosphere at this beautifully appointed B&B/hotel. Walking distance to the archaeological site, which is one of the best you'll see. Features the Diver's Tomb, the only intact Greek tomb. Hooray for Villa Rita - a wonderful find!

Very Charming Villa
We stayed here for the first 2 nights of our "Italian Vacation" and what a great way to start. Guido (I think, & apologies if I have miss-named you) and his grand daughter Rita were excellent hosts of this charming, quiet, well kept, and well maintained villa. We absolutely loved their garden and pool and the proximity to the Greek ruins of Paestum and the sea. This was the perfect place to unwind and get into the holiday mode. We did not get to experience the evening dining, but breakfast was exceptional, with great ambiance, charm, and selection. We would certainly return to this villa in an instant! Thank you for the evening wine and local cheese introduction - a pleasant memory!

The family at Villa Rita are very accommodating. We had to leave early to get to Naples airport and they had breakfast ready for us before their scheduled time. We were visiting family in a small town 1 hr and 30 min. away We wished we had more time to spend at this resort. The pool is lovely and it was very family oriented..

Was good for family of five
We needed an apartment for five for our three nights in Sorrento and this hotel met our needs. It was a little ways outside of town, however, one could walk down to the beach where there were good restaurants of various types. We parked up a steep road in an olive grove, which worked out fine, the attendant even gave us a key. The rooms,closets, and bathroom were very adequate, and well stocked. The kitchen was able to be closed of with movable doors. The master bedroom and the kitchen opened to a porch, which allowed for the early risers to let the sleepers sleep. My suggestion for management would be to put a few more kitchen essentials in the unit such as salt , oil, and dish rag.

Paestum hotel
Excellent country hotel in a small villa. Outbuildings with rooms, including a little porch with table. Basic furnishing but fine. Excellent air conditioning that worked to keep one properly cool in 30 degree heat. Nice decor in main building, where a decent breakfast buffet can be had. Less than 10 minutes walk to the temples of Paestum. Maybe 15 minutes walk (and less than 5 minutes drive) to a very nice sandy beach on the Mediterranean (fairly busy and built up but still nice, with fairly shallower water only going out a distance). Hotel also has a pool, but never tried it. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Lovely hotel in beautiful grounds close to temples
Lovely hotel with beautiful pool and grounds. Excellent position for access to archaeological site and within walking distance of the beach. We were a bit disappointed to find ourselves in the outside rooms instead of within the hotel, but otherwise a good experience. Arita was charming and very helpful and we were given a free lift to the station on our departure.

We were given a hospitable welcome. The owner is a man with a ongoing legacy that he will one day leave to his daughter. This is not just a hotel but a home,where questions and comforts are answered easily. Everyone is gracious and I would love to visit again and enjoy the pool area and local.

lovely, family run hotel
Beautiful, rustic villa with charming host(s). Owner stayed up an hour and a half longer than he should to let us in when the Italian railway let us down. Excellent fresh breakfasts too - proper juice, local yoghurt, fresh pastries. Couldn't fault it and 5 minute walk to the ruins. Even gave us a lift to the station - marvellous all round.

Lovely family run Bed and Breakfast
We had a great stay in this B & B. The owner,Luigi and his daughter, Rita could not do enough for us. Our room overlooked a great view of their gardens and mountain in the distance. A very peaceful setting. Rita even booked our train tickets for the following day which was not easy and took up a lot of her time. We had dinner there which we highly recommend. The dining room setting was lovely and Rita intermingled with the guests while serving dinner. She was great, always cheerful and also very knowledgeable about the wines in the region. I would recommend this B & B to anyone. The nearby ruins and museum were some of the best we saw in Italy. Thank you Luigi and Rita for a wonderful B & B experience in beautiful Italy!

The Villa Rita Hotel was very pleasant surprise. A small family run hotel with beautiful gardens and pool. The decor and ambience of the hotel was lovely and the staff were friendly, attentive and very helpful. Although booked in for bed and breakfast, we had dinner at the hotel which was very good and great value.

Villa Rita is run by a superb host who picked us up at the train. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. It is in the country, one km. from the beach, and walking distance to the terrific Greek ruins. We had an amazing three course lunch - the best food in Italy. Loved the whole experience.
