Hotel Relais du Silence Pian delle Starze in Marina di Camerota is a peaceful resort situated close to some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the whole of Italy. Marina di Camerota in the Campania region is especially beautiful to visit in springtime before the tourists arrive. You can avoid crowds and excessive heat giving you the opportunity to explore at your own pace.
Hotel Relais du Silence Pian delle Starze is the perfect location for you to begin to discover everything this area has to offer. If you like to relax by the sea, the hotel is a short hiking distance from the pretty coves of Pozzallo and Cala Bianca beach - noted as one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy. If you hike a little further (around an hour from the hotel) the pretty harbour of Infreschi awaits. Once at the harbour you can hire sailing boats or organise a boat ride, diving or snorkelling. The waters are a crystal clear turquoise – perfect for spotting rare marine life and when you have completed your chosen activity, relax at one of the bars by the water’s edge and enjoy some fresh seafood as the sun goes down.
If you wish to discover more about the local history, begin your day exploring the Magna Grecia historic sites, both areas have been named UNESCO World Heritage sites. Entering early in the day or out of season ensures the experience becomes even more immersive as there are no crowds. From Marina di Camerota head north to the ancient city of Velia - remains of city walls, and several towers still exist. The summit of this archaeological site affords some breath-taking views of the coastline and surrounding countryside. From Velia continue to the city of Poseidon – Paestum, a Greek archaeological site founded in around 600 BC – still home to well preserved ancient temples it has a fascinating history waiting to be explored.
The Carthusian monastery of Certosa di San Lorenzo di Padula, a baroque style monastery and museum situated in the Cilento national park is also worth a visit. The monastery has the biggest cloister in the world covering 12,000m2 and is surrounded by 84 columns. Discover the library and white marble spiral staircase and enjoy the awe-inspiring architecture. Following your visit to the monastery drive north, firstly to Pertosa, then continue to the Grotte di Castelcivita where tours of the underground limestone caves await, marvel at their fascinating array of stalactites and stalagmites, listen to their stories and cool down as you explore the underground labyrinths.
