Smaller property with few on-site features
More of a large bed and breakfast than a traditional hotel, the beautiful Hotel Relais Pian Delle Starze is an intimate 20-room property, tucked into a peaceful grove of olive and carob trees in the Italian countryside. The restaurant serves fresh, local ingredients made in the regional style, and the free daily breakfast is served on a quiet outdoor patio. Guests have plenty to do outdoors, from exploring the lush gardens to the nearby hiking trails to the large pool and patio, and while there aren’t many restaurants or shops near this rather remote property, the hotel does offer shuttles to nearby attractions.
Scene
Charming bed and breakfast in the Italian countryside
Guests arrive at the property after driving through the scenic countryside, groves of olive trees, and spacious gardens. The main building has wonderful curb appeal; it's surrounded by flowers and trees, and the sea is visible in the background. The lobby on the ground floor is decorated in warm, welcoming tones of terra-cotta and gold, with a large wooden table serving as a tour desk and clusters of chairs and tables providing comfortable seating. Big windows showcase the nearby gardens, with doors leading out to the patio near the main reception desk in the corner. Stairs in the back lead up to guest rooms.
Location
A quiet spot in the country, near Marina di Camerota
Tucked into the hills and surrounded by greenery and gardens, with the coastline visible from much of the property, the Hotel Relais Pian Delle Starze feels peaceful, quiet, and remote. There are hiking trails and hills all around, but the hotel is actually fairly close to a number of attractions (though a car is needed). The property is a five-minute drive from Marina di Camerota, and is three miles from the beach. The hotel provides a shuttle to get to nearby restaurants and shops, and guests can also rent a car or hire a driver through the property.
Rooms
Simple and elegant, with rustic charm
Decorated in pale, sophisticated tones, with furnishings of wrought iron and dark wood, the rooms at this property are fairly simple but clean and inviting. A number of room types are available, from basic Standards with a small sitting and working area, to larger Deluxe and Superior Rooms with more space and optional kitchenettes. Families and guests that prefer more room should consider booking a Junior Suite or Family Room, which are the largest accommodations available. All rooms include a television, in-room safe, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and free daily breakfast, as well as a patio or balcony with views of the country or the coast.
Features
A small property with thoughtful extras
Although this property is more like a bed and breakfast than a full-service hotel, there are a number of convenient and considerate features for guests. All room rates include a free daily breakfast served on the outdoor patio overlooking the garden, and in addition to serving regional dishes made from local ingredients, the restaurant also offers several cooking classes. Gardens and walkways surround the property, and the large pool and patio provide beautiful views of the country and the sea. Meeting and event spaces are available for special occasions, and the property provides shuttle service to nearby attractions. Parking is free, as is Wi-Fi, and guests can also rent a car or hire a driver at the front desk.
