Independent in Cilento from NZ$128

"Historic 19th century manor modernized approximately for a lovely stay. War the museum and archeological site, yet away from the busy entrance cares. A wonderful restaurant that one needs to reserve for an exclusive chef directed dinner. Novel and well prepared. With special touches that Chef Luigi creates. Other excellent restaurants and bistros in walking distance. This boutique hotel is best for adults, but children would be fine —just not at the restaurant. Fresh fruit and chef-baked bread are part of the buffet breakfast as is home made cheeses and condiments. A great place to be after a day walking among ancient ruins and elegant temples."

"Gorgeous villa with modern conveniences like a full size shower with rain shower head. Yummy full European breakfast. The hotel has ocean front balcony views and sits on a new and well lit promenade. The owners speak English in a village where few do. A fun stay in a nearly Italian only tourist village. Go! "

"Everyone at Grand hotel santa maria was so nice, friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay. the rooms were beautiful, our balcony was so nice, the breakfast was delicious, and it was so close to the cute town. We had a lovely vacation."

"We went in late May, so before the main season. The hotel is lovely, comfortable rooms - book one with a sea view, it's amazing. The pool was fabulous, plenty of seating and sunbeds. Good parking arrangements. Staff are friendly and willing to help. If there was an area for I would suggest some alternatives to the baked sweet goods, although if you have a sweet tooth, you're in for a treat. Eggs were available on request and they were good. It is a stunningly beautiful part of the world and the hotel is a perfect place to enjoy it."

"It was modern, with coffee and tea service, all the toiletries imaginable, close to a mini-mart and bar and within walking distance of my tour hotel. It also had a collection of poetry in the room."

"Nice place"

"We arrived early at the hotel and we're allowed to park at the hotel while we walked to the ancient Greek Temples which were an easy walk from the hotel. The hotel had beautiful grounds and a nice swimming pool. The room was nice and clean, but simple. We atedinner and it was delicious, as was the morning breakfast. All in all a great stay and we would do it again. If you are going to see the Temples, it is worth a stay. "

"Hotel heaven! Best hotel we have ever stayed while traveling in Italy. 4 star great. From facilities to staff. 1st class comforts with a ambience of stillness and tranquility. A refuge for the road weary adventurer. Best breakfast with great choices and flavors. Will be back again as we loved the Ascea area."

"The property is beautiful and the staff very informative and welcoming "
