The hotel in tiny Pisciotta is a sublime place; a beautifully restored 14th-century monastery daubed with elegant antique touches and crowned with a wisteria-flecked terrace. Great for romance, the 11 handsome rooms feature earthy colours, carefully chosen furnishings, crisp white linen and exposed stone walls. The owners love their village and their enthusiasm is contagious.
Pick-ups can be organised from Pisciotta-Palinuro station.
There are also several self-contained apartments available in the village.
