Salerno

Salerno is a charmful and historical city but it’s also elegant and convivial. Guests are going to shop in “via dei Mercanti”, in the historical centre, near Santa Rosa Hotel and are also going to visit places of great artistic and cultural interest, like:

• Arechi Castle, which also offers a splendid landscape of the gulf, with a view that goes from Agropoli to the tip of the Amalfi Coast
• the medieval acqueduct
• the provincial art gallery
• the cathedral
• the compless of Santa Sofia
• the gardens of the Minerva
• Villa Comunale
• the seafront

The Amalfi Coast

To admire the the Amalfi Coast is something that everyone should do at least one in his life. The places that attract the most tourists:

• Positano, which smells of lemons and Summer
• Praiano, which faces the sea of a thousand shadings of blue
• Furore, where you can admire a little fjord too
• Conca dei Marini, with its Grotta dello Smeraldo
• Amalfi, painted from poets like heaven on Earth
• Atrani, a cliff on the sea
• Ravello, at the slopes of the Monti Lattari
• Minori, the oldest hamlet of the Coast
• Cetrara, where you can taste the “colatura di alici”
• Vietri sul Mare, home of shops of the master of the ceramics of Vietri, hand-painted

The Cilento Coast

The Cilento Coast is often overshadowed by the more famous Amalfi Coast, ma this section of the peninsula offers enchanting places to its visitors :

• Paestum, with its archaeological excavations
• Castellabate, a country which looks like came out from a fable
• Punta Licosa, one of the most beautiful beach of Italy, protected from a pine grove and adorned with a celestal and crystalline sea
• Palinuro with its azure cave e one of the most beautiful sunset of the world
• Acciaroli, a country which stayed authentic, where it seems that Hemingway had the inspiration for “The Old Man and the sea”

Pompei and Ercolano

The archaeological excavations of Pompeii and Ercolano, the two cities destroyed by the explosive eruction of the Vesuvius in the 79 d.C., are surely the most important in all of Italy.

By entering in the two cities you will have the impression of walking directly in history, discovering uses and places of an age which made the greatness of the peninsula. The lava and the ash which had coated Pompeii and Ercolano during the eruction allowed to a perfect conservation of the places and the corpses: the two archaeological sites are true open-haired museum.
