Pet-friendly Independent hotels in Cilento, Italy

This is a lovely old hotel at the foot of a charming village within 4 or so miles of the Paestum site. Our experience was unusual in the we were the only visitors for the first night and two of four on the second. I have never known such charming and attentive service: on both nights the chef addressed us individually and told us what he was going to cook for us. In both cases he then boned the fish at the table. Both meals were of extremely high quality: the best we had in 5 weeks in italy. Bedroom was charming, with lovely old furniture and linen. All spotless but the bathroom was small and flooded a bit. Breakfast was not so good and on the last day the coffee machine had broken: we breakfasted on croissants and cold milk! But nothing could detract from the charm of this hotel.

We stayed for a week in July. The hotel is immaculately clean and the all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful (even though English is not spoken widely so you'll have to get a phrase book!#. The room was nice with clean sheets and towels everyday - something even the best hotels don't do. Breakfast is the usual continental type and was fine. We ate in Agropolis in the evenings where there are a good number of restaurants and pizzerias #especially near the castle# and there is a good lively atmosphere. The Hotel is truly excellent value, we had a great time. The pool, like the rest of the hotel, is clean and great fun. The beech is a short walk #about 300m) but in general we used the pool. Paestum is a gem, ranks with Pompeii and Herculaneum. Great place to stay

Wonderful drive with great views to this hotel in Sapri. Very helpful staff ,comfortable room and great breakfast. Had to park in the street a little distance from the hotel but not a problem. Off the normal tourist route we think so a very nice size sea side town but mainly local people.

We chose this hotel as a nice stop over from southern Italy to Rome. It is slightly of the A-3 Highway. The hotel is in the small village of Atena Lucana which is atop a hill. The hotel is well maintained. We were received very nicely by Iovanna the hostess. She took us to the room which was very spacious, had very nicely decorated walls painted in old light gold tone. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. There was a nice comfortable queen size bed. The window gave us a panoramic view of the valley. The staff was always very courteous and attentive. I had for dinner in the hotel restaurant a seafood antipasto which included 2 nice sized gamberoni, grilled baby octopus and calamari followed by a nice freshly made pasta with salmon. These dishes were both delicious. The were accompanied by a nice glass of agliano red wine. For breakfast we had a nice continental breakfast which included some slices of prosciutto and local cheese. This is a clean, well maintained hotel with wonderful staff. Parking on site is complimentary. We highly recommend this facility.

the hotel caters for weddings which meant noisy celebrations every night.this was unexpected but manageable.breakfast below par but just about acceptable.the place gives itself pretensions as luxury so invites disappointment.

We stayed here for five days. The staff was extemely helpful and courteous. The director was friendly and caring. Rooms were clean and well kept. The pool and the beach were really close. there were plenty of beach chairs and umbrella. The sea was calm and beaches were extremely clean. If you have children the kids club was awesome and sooooo nice. They really entertained them. If we were to ever go back to this town in Italy we would definetly stay here.

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!

This inn has a great view overlooking the surrounding countryside, Paestum, the ocean beyond and even as far away as Capri. It's a beautiful, well-maintained country inn surrounded by vineyards and beautiful gardens. I would definitely stay there again! The room was great, the bed comfortable, breakfast was wonderfulI, and the host and his family were most welcoming and really helpful. Its location is best for those who are travelling by car. We weren't and the host even picked us up at the train station. Thanks for a great stay, Enzo! Helen and Lynda
