Located in a stone mansion with a gorgeous terrace and sweeping sea views, Antico Maniero Palinuro features unashamedly romantic rooms – with drapes, lace bedspreads and dark-wood furniture – that stay on the right side of kitsch. Located between Centola and Palinuro, it's a good option if you're driving around the Cilento or along the coast.
