Convento Francescano - Hotel in Campania
Via Convento, 84050 Cuccaro Vetere, Salerno
Campania,
Italia
The convent with bell tower has been immaculately restored, with grand steps leading up to the huge front door – communal areas have choice pieces of furniture and minimal but striking ornaments. Spend time in the cloister area with its covered perimeter and open central courtyard, a grand spot for a quiet read. Meals are also taken out here when it's balmy, or in the chapel during the winter months.
Food is taken seriously and the focus is on local cuisine, excellent farm-to-fork ingredients and a lot of passion for Cilento regional specialities. There are only seven bedrooms – all good-sized for a convent and with modern, stylish, en suite bathrooms – so you'll never feel crowded, either indoors or by the pool and garden. Spend time in the wellness area with Finnish sauna; there's a wood-fired hot tub outside too.
Join a morning or evening Pilates session, cookery and pottery classes or wine tasting. Take a guided hike through the Cilento National Park, unwind in nature, enjoy good food, breathe.
