Hotels near Scoglio di San Francesco, Agropoli

Tutto perfetto soprattutto la colazione ottima davvero complimenti

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

The building was good. The provided breakfast was good, the evening meal (20 Euros each) was very good. The location for Oct. was not good--a few hundred yards from the sea--just rainy, cold, and windy. A taxi is needed to go anywhere (15 Euros). Ah taxi. We arrived at the Paestum train station during an early evening rain. Literally no one else there as the station is unattended and no one else got off the train. I called the hotel asking for a taxi. The operator's English (remember 4 Star hotel) was a little better than my Italian--meaning very poor. She proceeded to give me the taxi phone number to call mixing Italian and English numbers, Hopeless. I called again and insisted she make the call, she didn't want to! I asked for the manager and she called. Over an hour later (waiting in the rain) the taxi arrived--she sent him to the wrong station but the driver had enough sense to travel to our station.

Driving from the Amalfi coast to see the amazing ancient temples in Paestum is highly recommended. When in Paestum, you can enjoy this trendy and sophisticated hotel, and the Michelin star restaurant attached to it (reviewed separately). The hotel offers clean and modernly designed rooms, fully equipped with all the amenities and include tasty breakfast for a very affordable price. Opt for the suite and enjoy in room bath, sparkling wine and some treats. The service was excellent and professional.
