Accommodation
Stay in three- and four-star hotels and spend one night in an agriturismo โ a beautifully converted farmhouse. All have either a swimming pool or beach nearby, which will be greatly appreciated in summer. Palinuro: Hotel Santa Caterina or Hotel La Conchiglia (nights 1-2) Our first two nights are spent in either Santa Caterina (Above) or La Conchiglia. The former is a family-owned hotel thatโs home to the oldest ice cream shop in Palinuro. Thereโs also a restaurant serving regional dishes with fresh produce. The latter has a Mediterranean restaurant with a terrace offering sea and cliff views. Head there for drinks from the lounge bar โ sunset is the ideal time to enjoy a national cocktail while gazing over Capo Palinuro. Casal Velino: Agriturismo Zio Cristoforo (night 3) Within Cilento National Park, this farmstay is a peaceful retreat in the Italian countryside. Take a dip in the palm-shaded swimming pool, which is built from local stone, or pull up a lounger to soak in the sun. In the evening, head to the restaurant for typical local produce and perhaps try the red or white wine made on site. Paestum: Hotel Villa Rita (night 4) The family-run Villa Rita occupies a converted farm, with the manor house, stables and barns all enjoying a new life in hospitality. Now the property has pine-scented gardens with a sun lounger-lined pool. Thereโs also a traditional bistro where dishes are created with local ingredients from local producers. Minori: Hotel Santa Lucia (nights 5-7) The Sammarco family has owned this 25-room, Mediterranean-style hotel for more than 50 years. It has an ideal location, just moments from a sandy beach, plus a seasonal solarium with a bar. Elsewhere, thereโs the Garum restaurant, which serves traditional dishes from the Amalfi Coast.
Meals
All breakfasts and one dinner included. Breakfast is normally continental style with a choice of cereal, bread, pastries, yoghurt, orange juice and milk with an array of teas/coffee. Lunch usually consists of a light meal, such as a sandwich or a mix of delicious appetisers, in small traditional cafes along the route. The evening meals will be taken in a variety of local restaurants or at the hotels, where the standard is excellent. Most of the regional specialities in this area are prepared with delicious fresh produce such as tomatoes, olives, peppers and cheese. The Amalfi Coast also has some of the finest fish in the world; scialatielli ai frutti di mare (fresh ribbon-shaped pasta with seafood) is one of the staple dishes worth trying. The a la carte menus in most restaurants recommended by your local leader will give you an opportunity to sample a great range of local specialities.
