This was supposed to be the highlight at the end of our two week Italian adventure in July 2011, culminating in celebrating my birthday. After so much research, the rest of the trip was more than I could ever have hoped for, but the Palazzo was so disappointing, it brought me to tears. First of all, the area.. don't even... More

We visited Castellabate for a family wedding in September. The hotel had previously featured by Trevor Macdonald on a TV series. We were so excited and it lived up to all expectations. The location was so romantic, we were just sorry we didn't have enough time to explore Santa Maria. The hotel was great in it's own grounds, the rooms... More

Most of the rooms are located in a relatively new building in the garden. We stayed here during low season and were given a suite in Edoardo's House that is part of the actually palazzo.

The second room had an amazing private terrace with the most amazing view out to sea. (Just wished the cleaners had wiped some bird muck up that was... More

Having read the two reviews underneath, I have to say that I think that both of these people may be better off going to Disney World in Florida for their holidays.   Maybe a faux Italian holiday would more suited to them. The palazzo is charming and we stayed in the villas for a week, which was slightly back from... More

Booked 2 bed sea view terrace - great view as long as you don't mind climbing 3 flights of stairs! Rooms quite nice, but air conditioning very noisy in both rooms. Lovely pool. Private beech is a slight exaggeration - small area on packed beech is sectioned off by some rope - doesn't stop annoying beech peddlars from trying to... More

We have just returned from a weeks stay at P B. We had two rooms in a villa, and the only good thing that I can say is that they were very clean. One room had a balcony overlooking the car park and had a wall mounted hairdryer that was clearly broken. The portable televisions didn't have any news channel... More
