Scene
Ideal country retreat with stunning views and classic touches
Down a winding road and surrounded by grassy lawns and see-them-to-believe-them mountain views, the Hotel Borgo Antico has a landscape that could rival any Italian movie set. The hotel is attractive with Tuscan yellow walls and stone features. Street-style lampposts add a classic touch, and a wooden porch swing and hammock on the lawn provide spots for guests to enjoy the country air. The pool is big with a built in hot tub and wading area. There are outdoor showers for rinsing off, and a pool bar where guests can order a cocktail or buy an ice cream treat. Inside the hotel, a classic wood bar and a restaurant with exposed wooden beams and wooden dining tables create a quaint vibe.
Location
In the countryside, about 15 minutes from beaches
The hotel is located in the countryside, at the base of the medieval village of San Severino di Centola, with stone buildings from the 10th and 11th centuries. The property is a short walk from a river, a 10- to 15-minute drive from the beaches of Capo Palinuro and Mingardo, and a 15-minute drive from the main village of Palinuro with shops and restaurants. Horseback (and donkey) riding are available nearby, and the hotel offers bicycles to rent for exploring the surrounding area. Naples Airport is less than a two-and-a-half hour drive.
Rooms
Rustic rooms with small showers and exposed wood beams
Rustic rooms have exposed wooden beams, tile floors, and charming furnishings like wrought iron bed frames, wood bureaus, and pedestal sinks. Paint and bedspread schemes vary from neutrals to blues and yellows, but all rooms have mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels. Most rooms have small stand-up showers, and family rooms with bunk beds or daybeds are available. Overall, the rooms are clean and functional but don't include many creature comforts.
Features
Shuttle service to beach and bike rentals available for exploring countryside
Hotel Borgo Antico has a free breakfast including pastries and yogurt and a restaurant serving local cuisine. Outside, guests enjoy the large outdoor pool with a children’s section and whirlpool, as well as an outdoor bar. The small fitness center is in a building that looks like a wooden shed with a treadmill, bicycle, and a couple other machines placed in a tight space. There’s a shuttle service to the beach, where lounge chairs and umbrellas are provided. Horseback riding is available nearby, where routes take guests past the nearby medieval village or river. Bicycle rentals are also available.
