Ξενοδοχεία με Cappella di San Matteo ad duo flumina, Casal Velino

A beautiful sea front hotel with stunning views. Very well located with great access to Paestum and Old Castellabate. It is just a short walk to the town with everything you might need. You can follow the road or walk along the beach, however you may need your phone torch for a very short section along the beach at night. There is free parking with the hotel which is located in the town; a lovely porter will shuttle you to and from your car. There are some spaces right outside the hotel for ease with bags and disabled spaces there too. The rooms are large and very clean with incredibly comfortable beds. We had a sea view and a lovely balcony. The showers here are amazing! The hotel boasts its own private beach, which is sand and staff will arrange loungers for you, you can access the bar from the beach using the QR code on your umbrella. Lovely clear water and an amazing sunset experience sat in the beach bar. Mostly excellent service, we only had an issue with one of the receptionists, who had some attitude but everyone else was very friendly and helpful. There was Maximillian on reception, who was fantastic, a lovely blonde on the beach bar with the friendliest smile and was really enthusiastic and last but certainly not least the porter who was so very generous and helpful. There are lots of bars within the hotel, all with differing opening hours listed in the elevators. You receive and amazing snack variety with drinks. We never ate at the hotel as we decided to go into town, but if we stayed again we definitely would as the breakfast was very good. I personally prefer a savoury breakfast, however my mother says the apricot tart there is superb (a regional speciality I believe). The chocolate cake looked delicious, but sadly I had to abstain as I was attending a wedding shortly after. I had hoped for some tomatoes to go with my breakfasts, but there were not any provided. There was every kind of milk or juice available and plenty of fresh fruit, preserves and yoghurts. Hams, cheeses, eggs and a full patisserie selection. The pain au chocolat style Italian pastry I am told was delicious along with some of the doughnut looking types of food. There are lots of nice touches around the hotel and in the bedroom giving an air of luxury, such as the towelling slippers, which were very much appreciated and used. I believe there is a spa, but I did not visit it. Our only gripe about the hotel was that some tables were closed off during our stay as the cushions were being laundered, this limited seating space at the beach bar, there were some very comfortable seated areas dotted around on different levels of the hotel, however these were not well served by bars and too many different elevator rides to take our own drinks there. The bar on the middle section should be open all day to cover these areas in my opinion. Also I am of the opinion that a 4 star hotel should not have a bar that closes, there should always be somewhere open to get a nightcap sho

My husband and I stayed at the Duca Marigliano Boutique Hotel in Paestum, Italy in March 2023. We went to Paestum to visit the Greek Ruins - and this hotel was walking distance. Even though we were only there one night, the service was wonderful. The hotel is charming and the food is delicious. We were not there during high tourist season - so we were one of 3 couples at the hotel for the one night we were there. The hotel restaurant was quiet when we went in the later evening - but we were welcomed an catered to. We only ordered dessert (as we were very full from our late lunch at San Salvator La Dispensa - yum), but they brought out samples of other desserts for free. In the morning, we were welcomed to a breakfast that was included in the night stay fee. The food was absolutely amazing. Lots of traditional foods and the best Earl Grey Tea - with steamed milk - that I had during my stay in Italy. Huge shout out to Pietro, who served us. Pietro went above and beyond at dinner and breakfast. As it was not tourist season, not everything in the hotel was open (sauna, outside seating areas) - I can imagine that the grounds are beautiful in the late spring, summer months. We would definitely return to this hotel.
