Salerno

Free range families can relax in this laid back farmhouse B&B with plenty of animals to pet, a piano to play and a pool to splash in

More like a private villa, this gracious hotel wraps you in polished comforts: antique-strewn rooms, romantic gardens, ravishing terraces

Slow down! Swim, soak in the jacuzzi, taste Campanian cuisine and wine, explore the national park, pop to Agropoli's beaches...be pampered

A medieval monastery, stunningly revived, in untouristy, car-free Pisciotta. Sip greco on the terrace; scramble through olives to the sea

An unaustere Franciscan retreat - heaven for sybarites and foodies. The luxuries are understated, the cicadas sing, the views reach to Capri

Elegant antiques, gorgeous views, local food and comfortable bedrooms at this hilltop retreat and unspoilt village in Cilento National Park

Dine wonderfully on farm-fresh food and grandma's recipes; cookery classes too! And views, a pool, farm animals, sunsets, a warm family...

Stay a while... lulled by lapping sea and fragrant hanging gardens - cool, light, balconied, classic, intimate, unpretentious
