Hotel in Palinuro where you meet the sea
You can enjoy breathtaking views of the gulf from all over our hotel in Palinuro: from the rooms, the rooftop wellness centre, and the panoramic terrace of Da Siena bar and ice-cream parlour. When you stay at our hotel, you can also make the most of its excellent location to explore Palinuro and environs. The Cilento region has so much to offer and hides treasures that, until very recently, were unknown to all but a select few. It’s this air of mystery that makes it so fascinating; a land of myths and legends that has preserved its rich historical and cultural heritage to this day.

The history of Palinuro
As Italian author and journalist Guido Piovene once wrote, the name Palinuro comes from the name of the helmsman of Aeneas, Palinurus, who met a tragic end in the verses of Virgil’s Aeneid. He also praised the beauty of the gulf with its small, tropical beaches, which he considered unique in Europe. Would you like to find out more about the myths and legends of Palinuro?
