We spent one day in Paestum to visit the Greek temples and we did not have any reservations. We called the Esplanade and luckily they had a room available. Everything was great – the room was clean with a nice bathroom. The location is not bad, very close to the beach (unfortunately we did not have time to enjoy) and... More

Note: I believe this is in the Salerno region, not Campania... We just "happened" upon this hotel in Paestum, a location we had never heard of, on our way to Sicily from Rome. We were having trouble finding reasonably priced hotels in Italy, it was getting late due to misleading GPS directions, and we were exhausted. Checked out the Best... More

I was happy to book this hotel after reading all the good reviews on this site, However, for me it turned out to be one of the worst hotel experience. First, the good points. Hotel is really beautiful, you can hardly find any faults to its looks. Beautiful garden, pool, free parking lot, nice rooms, large bathroom with modern facilities...... More

After driving through naples and Salerno, we did not expect much...but then, you drop down into Paestum and the Cilento Coast and it is Italy like Italy was in the 40;s!

Just returned from a 10 day stay at this 4star hotel in Paestum. The hotel itself has only 24 rooms, but the grounds are very large and are kept immaculately maintained and landscaped. The rooms and Public areas too are of a very high standard with quality furnishings etc. Note however that the main business of the Hotel is Banqueting/Celebrations... More

We were so pleasantly surprised with our beautiful accomodation at the Hotel Esplanade in Paestum. The hotel, grounds, restaurants and service were fabulous. We were treated as family, (even being transported from the wonderful ruins of Paestum to the Hotel and back to the train station by the kind and gracious, hotel manager, Domenico). We definitely recommend a stay here... More

I took a small group of 14 to Paestum for a family reunion. I did my homework on Tripadvisor to pick this hotel. It was a great find. It opened in the '60 but was completely renovated last year by Signora Giusy & her husband Giovanni. I chose the 1/2 pensione plan which included breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was... More
