"A pretty amazing place. Looks very luxurious, the restaurant and the meal was super fancy and yet very reasonably priced. We couldn’t understand why the place was mostly empty, but we stayed mid-week, and the place clearly caters to Italians (even the spa menu was only in Italian). The air-conditioning in the room was not very strong and very noisy, but otherwise very nice room. "

"If you want a true Italian family experience then a stay at BnB La Mortella is the answer. We considered staying in Paestum to be close to the great temples but knowing that La Mortella was only 20 minutes away convinced us to try something different during our Italia tour. The BnB was a bit hard to find but once we were there it was worth seeking. Antonio and his family also work the land with citrus and olive groves dominating the landscape. They also produce olive oil for their business. Each...

"Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo soggiornato per 8 giorni nello splendido Casale degli ulivi e ci siamo sentiti come a casa nostra grazie all’ospitalità di Raffaele ed i suoi figli Cosimo e Mattia.
La mattina è stato molto piacevole svegliarsi e fare colazione nella tranquillità della campagna e poi il pomeriggio rilassarsi a bordo piscina con la bellissima vista sul mare cilentano in lontananza.
Consigliamo vivamente ha chi ha voglia di rilassarsi e godere dei ritmi tranquilli della collina.

"My great grandfather was born in the very small town of Aquara and, in planning our trip from the USA to Italy, we were looking for a peaceful, welcoming spot to stay while we paid a short visit to the city. The staff was terrifically accommodating and the property was beautiful. There is a restaurant, small bar and pool on site as well as short walking trail, hammocks and, since they are up on a hill, beautiful views of the valley below Aquara. "

"Beach access was good, but not necessary this time of year. The beds were very hard, we could feel the springs. When we asked if something could be done we were greeted with a frown."

Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Grotte di Castelcivita during your travels in Controne. Wander around the gardens or enjoy the area's coffeehouses.
Beautiful place! Enjoyed the room, the farm and the hospitable staff. Their fresh buffalo mozzarella is incredible!!
The only negative was the sound from the kitchen below at night, likely making the fabulous mozzarella. However, would not hesitate to return.

B&B curatissimo, raffinato e in una posizione speciale. Proprietari gentilissimi che ci hanno fornito indicazioni precise per la ZTL. Giusto qualche piccolo intoppo risolto comunque velocemente e con gentilezza. Minuzie che non scalfiscono un soggiorno piacevole. Consigliato!

This is the second time I’ve been back to this property. The owner is a lovely man. The breakfast is excellent. You can open a bottle of wine and enjoy it in the beautiful garden.

Elia and his wife are great hosts. Place is 5+ stars with beautiful view and sunrise. Breakfast is organic and my wife is special thankful for their care for her diet restriction. We would come here whenever we are in this area.

The family and the animals are friendly and care for you well. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin so when someone sneezes in the next room it will wake you up. I was happy that most of the time I stayed here alone. There is a fantastic view of the hillside village Altavilla Silentina. I was glad to spend the two weeks driving around to learn more about the area as I was thinking about buying a home here, but the level of local poverty means it would be difficult to get services here.

The staff is wonderful; very friendly and helpful. The facility is kept impeccably. It is fairly close to the Greek ruins, which was our reason for visiting.

The best area to stay in Controne is within the historic center, particularly around Piazza Umberto I and the main streets leading off it.
This area is the heart of the village, characterized by its narrow, winding cobblestone streets, traditional stone buildings, and a slower pace of life. You'll find local shops, a few eateries, and the village church, all within easy walking distance. It's an excellent base for experiencing authentic village life and exploring the surrounding countryside.
Couples looking for a tranquil and authentic Italian experience will find the historic center ideal. It offers a romantic setting with picturesque streets great for evening strolls and enjoys easy access to local culinary delights. The quiet evenings provide a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.
For those seeking a more rural experience with convenient access to hiking trails and nature, staying just outside the historic core, in accommodations located in the olive groves, is a good option.
When is the best time to go to Controne?
The best time to go to Controne for pleasant weather and local experiences is during the spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October).
Spring offers mild temperatures, blooming landscapes, and fewer crowds than the peak summer season. This is an excellent time for couples interested in exploring the natural beauty of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park, which surrounds Controne, without the summer heat. The local olive groves begin to flourish, setting a beautiful scene for leisurely walks or scenic drives.
Early autumn is ideal for food enthusiasts and those interested in local traditions. The weather remains comfortable, and this period coincides with Controne's famous olive harvest season and related festivals, offering a unique opportunity to experience the local culture and cuisine.
