Seliano Sketch

Karen's Review Of This Property:

45 kilometers south of the Amalfi coast is the archaeological site of Paestum with its three well-preserved Greek temples. The area is surrounded by unattractive commercial strips and much new construction, although farther south are the lovely Cilento National Park and the coast. Here the Seliano farm provides an oasis of peace and tranquility very near the sea. Baroness Cecilia, her two sons, Ettore and Massimino, and manager, Nicola, are wonderful hosts and make the managing of this busy farm, the horseback riding center, restaurant, and bed and breakfast look like a delightful game. The emphasis here is on the preparation of meals using local recipes and their own produce, including fresh mozzarella, most famous in this area. In fact, the Baroness conducts week-long cooking classes including excursions to local cultural and gastronomic highlights. Pleasantly decorated rooms with tiled floors and family antiques are situated in the farmhouse or adjacent yellow house, with two comfortable living rooms for guests. Truly delectable meals are served out on the covered terrace or in the long dining/living room with fireplace and historic paintings. There is an inviting swimming pool for guests.
