Agriturismo in Cilento with Restaurant

Choosing a farmhouse in Cilento means enjoying a holiday among crystal-clear sea, ancient villages and unspoilt nature: Blue Flag beaches, cliffs and hidden coves, stone villages overlooking the sea or perched inland, unique archaeological sites such as Paestum and Velia and a cuisine that combines Mediterranean flavours with rural traditions. Farmhouses in the area offer cosy rooms, zero-km local products and an ideal location to alternate beach days, hikes and cultural visits.

Recommended activities

• Paestum, Velia and seaside villages

  Visit the Doric temples of Paestum, among the best preserved in the world, discover the archaeological area of Velia, home of the Eleatic school of philosophy, and stroll through fishing villages such as Santa Maria di Castellabate, Acciaroli and San Marco di Castellabate, perfect for an aperitif at sunset before returning to your farmhouse.

• Trails, gorges and nature oases in the National Park

  The trails of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park cross woods, gorges and plateaus: from the Calore gorges and the Morigerati Oasis to routes towards Monte Stella and Monte Cervati, there are endless opportunities for trekking, easy walks and nature photography, with a relaxing evening back at the farmhouse.

• Beaches, coves and sea caves

  Between Palinuro, Marina di Camerota, Pisciotta and Ascea you will find long sandy beaches and small coves that can be reached on foot or by boat. Plan a boat trip to admire caves and cliffs, swim in turquoise water and enjoy the Cilento sun before going back up to your farmhouse on the hillside.

• Food itineraries between Mediterranean diet and local products

  Cilento is one of the cradles of the Mediterranean diet: taste mozzarella wrapped in myrtle leaves, PDO extra-virgin olive oils, Cilento white figs, cured meats and cheeses from inland villages, homemade pasta and traditional desserts. Many farmhouses offer typical menus and tastings of Cilento wines paired with local dishes.

Practical tips

• Best time to go: late spring and early autumn are ideal for enjoying the sea, hiking and sightseeing without excessive heat; summer is perfect for beaches, events and outdoor life, while winter is great for food and wine weekends and quieter cultural visits inland.
• How to get there and get around: Cilento can be reached by car from the Tyrrhenian coast and from the Salerno–Reggio Calabria motorway, with railway stations in towns such as Agropoli, Vallo della Lucania and Sapri. Once there, it is convenient to move around by car combining coastal roads and inland routes, or to use tourist boats along the coast in the summer months.
• Who it’s ideal for: the area is perfect for families who want to combine sea and nature, couples in search of romantic views and travellers who love walking, discovering authentic villages and tasting genuine cuisine, with many farmhouse options overlooking the sea or surrounded by greenery.

Book a farmhouse in Cilento and plan a holiday among national parks, archaeological sites, unspoilt beaches and the flavours of traditional cuisine from Campania, with the freedom to move between coast and inland areas within just a few kilometres.
