"When we arrived in the room (very small and located at the end of the 1st floor, with a view of the roof, shower inside the bedroom and WC at the entrance) we found it full of ants and insects, both alive and dead) we asked for explanations given that the staff were knowledgeable and had sprinkled the room and toilet with powder to kill the ants. Answer: At the moment we do not have other rooms available for a change and they offer us a change of hotel about a kilometer away PAESTUM INN BEACH RESORTE 4 stars instead of 5 stars of the MEC PAESTUM or alternatively they would have given us something back. In the end we accepted, even though the location was outside the town and a type suitable for the sea. Obviously it wasn't what I wanted and less than what I requested and paid for. No refunds from the property. Definitely avoid next time."

"Located in the centre of a hill bourg and very fascinating sleep inside a tower with the watch. Very clean room, very relaxing atmosphere excellent breakfast and abundant staff very gentle."

"If i could give 2.5 stars, I would. Wifi doesn’t work and keeps kicking you off of it, the Wifi is generally very bad. There are strange rules like having to wear a swimming cap in the pool which in my opinion ruins the swimming experience. There are also assigned tables and beach beds, this isn’t bad but just kind of unnecessary. Lastly there is this animation team whose job is to entertain the kids. To say the least they don’t entertain kids and disturb the peace on the beach with insanely loud music. On the other hand the restaurant is great, it has very nice staff and amazing food with a menu that varies each day. I feel like the hotel has allot of potential which they ruined by making weird and unnecessary rules same with terrible Wifi and an annoying animation team."

"The hotel was absolutely incredible from professionalism of staff to the grounds it was on to the decorative pieces in the common areas - elegance and breath-taking views. We based ourselves here to travel to different places via car - Agropoli, Paestum, Temples, Salerno (boat trip), Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Pompeii. We woke up every morning, excited for free breakfast which consisted of eggs, bacon, fresh bread, orange juice and lots more options with an incredible view behind. The only thing we wished we did was the Spa but we didn’t have enough time. We went to various restaurants nearby - Pizzeria Villaggio Dei Pini (pizza), Gnhamburger (burgers) and we ate at the Beach Club which was great service. Couldn’t have asked for a better location away from the tourists places, base myself to explore, experience local culture and cuisine and we had the best holiday!! Thank you and hopefully see you in the future."

"I’m not usually one to leave reviews but I felt incredibly compelled to leave one for Hotel Cerere. We booked a package holiday with an airline and once we arrived, we were greeted by hotel staff who had friendly smiles. One lady checked us in and requested I send my hotel voucher across, absolutely no issue. She then showed us to our room and gave us a wifi code. The wifi was shocking, but being on holiday we didn’t care too much for it. We tried to turn the air-con on and eventually figured it out (all doors/windows have to be closed, it says this in the manual left in the room) but the air-con didn’t actually cool the room down, just the area by the door and it still only blew air out at 24°C, even though we changed it to 20°C as that’s the lowest it said it would go. When a 4-star hotel promises air-con, you’d hope it would work. We went to the pool outside the main hotel which was nice and came up to just below my shoulders (I’m 5ft 9inches). The next morning, we went downstairs for breakfast, the waiting staff were nice and there was a good selection of pastries, cheese, bread and an omelette station (this is the same everyday). The beach is about a 10 minute walk away, and although there is a shuttle we weren’t informed of times or how to use this service. We explored the other pool which is near the residence, and we definitely preferred this one, completely down to personal preference, but it was deeper (my 6ft3 partner couldn’t touch the bottom) and we could properly swim in this pool, it also had a diving board. Our room also got cleaned everyday by the cleaning staff who were absolutely lovely, I cannot fault them. This is unfortunately where the positives end. The communication from the front desk staff was not great, the food you could order from the pool bar was not good, and we felt judged every time we walked through the lobby like we didn’t belong there. When it came to checking out, we got to the front desk expecting to pay for the drinks from the mini-fridge and the tourist tax, however we got told to pay nearly €1600. As said previously, we had booked a package holiday and had already paid for the room through our holiday team. The front desk staff didn’t seem to understand this even though I had sent them the voucher that they had asked for! Eventually another staff member got called in to deal with the situation and it was eventually sorted but it was not how we wanted to end our holiday."

"Borgo la Pietraia offers an exceptional vantage point for experiencing the region. During our May visit, the climate was agreeable, though I anticipate that the elevated position of the property would be even more appreciated during the summer months. The estate features expansive, meticulously maintained gardens and a swimming pool, both offering panoramic views of the valley. Our deluxe accommodation was remarkably spacious and elegantly appointed, complete with a charming, albeit compact, terrace that provided sea views. The restaurant terrace also afforded stunning vistas of both the sea and the valley. The bathroom facilities were generously proportioned. The location itself was notably tranquil. Breakfast service was comprehensive and satisfying, with the option to order custom egg preparations such as omelets. We also availed ourselves of the dinner service, which presented a gourmet culinary experience prioritizing the quality of dishes. The pasta dishes we sampled were particularly noteworthy. Given the excellent value, we wholeheartedly endorse this establishment."

"Pleasant discovery!! We stayed in this residence for a week, minimal but comfortable apartment, with the possibility of using the hotel services, restaurant, swimming pool and shuttle to go down to the beach. The structure is located 700/800 meters from the private beach, where you can enjoy an excellent beach service, and where you are welcomed by Marcello the lifeguard who is the added value to the structure!!! Recommended!!"

"We spent a week at this location. Shared the time between Savoy and Esplanade Boutique Hotel. May definitely recommend both of them. Esplanade has more of a personal touch. The service is top. Hotel’s design is amazing, each single corner is a masterpiece. And the territory is extremely beautiful and very well groomed. We had difficulties with Wifi in one of the rooms, was hard to connect sometimes. But overall we are very happy with the stay and would like to go back some day. Plus hotel has a beach club, which is nice and fun. Has cabanas by the restaurant and nice sunbeds by the sea. Staff provides free towels. Definitely recommend also the restaurant there. Looking forward to be back one day."

"It is the second time we go and we found ourselves very well, it was two excellent weekends."
