Hotel Marulivo

We just returned from a lovely holiday in a tiny, medieval village in southern Italy called Pisciotta. It is located about two hours south of the Amalfi Coast and an hour or so from the magnificent temples of Paestum. Pisciotta is a charming little medieval village near the sea with wonderful restaurants and beautiful nearby beaches.  The village has 3 great restaurants and a marvelous hotel called Marulivo Hotel. A bit of Heaven, the Marulivo is a converted convent, renovated in simple, elegant taste. The hotel is situated on the top of the village with a view of the sea. There is a terrace where one has a delicious and generous breakfast and drinks at sunset. Pure bliss. The rooms are comfortable and charming, decorated with understated style and elegance. Ours had a lovely view of the sea as well. It was a splendid place to spend our holiday.

The best part of the hotel is the couple who own it. Massimo and Lea are the so friendly, kind and helpful. You feel like guests in their home. They give great advice on the local sights, beautiful beaches, restaurants and do all they can to make sure that you enjoy your stay. Their adorable children also add to the pleasure of your visit. My husband and I can’t wait to return to this bit of paradise and our lovely, new friends.
