Palazzo Belmonte Santa Maria di Castellabate - Amalfi Coast

Arguably the most beautiful resort South of the Amalfi Coast, Palazzo Belmonte is a supremely elegant hotel situated within the walls of a 17th century historical residence, which once functioned as hunting lodge of the Prince of Belmonte. Palazzo Belmonte is immersed in some 5acres of garden and parkland, on the outskirts of Castellabate: one of Italy's most picturesque villages and a UNESCO world heritage site since 1998.

This exclusive residence, a wing of which is still inhabited by the direct descendents of the Prince, provides luxurious guest accommodation in bedrooms and suites located in the main Palazzo, in the adjoining "Palazzina Edoardo", and the dependence. Vaulted ceilings, period furnishings, and exquisite Italian textiles, characterise rooms from the terraces of which guests are afforded enchanting views of the sea, the flower-filled inner courtyard, the garden, and the historic center of Santa Maria di Castellabate.

Palazzo Belmonte's swimming pool, nestled in a particularly secluded part of the garden, is the ideal place where to indulge in moments of complete relaxation and tranquillity. Along a pathway which winds through sweet smelling pine and hibiscus trees, guests reach the beach and the wonderful warm sea of the Cilento.

At Palazzo Belmonte special attention is awarded to the quality of the food served both at the poolside snack bar and the hotel restaurant. The finest Mediterranean cuisine and, in particular, the gastronomic specialities of the Cilento, feature on the beautifully composed menus presented to guests dining on the panoramic terrace from where a magnificent view of the Amalfi coast and the island of Capri can be admired.

Among the many off-site activities organised by the hotel: evening pic-nics on nearby Punta Licosa, complete with live musical accompaniment, and nocturnal fishing trips.Palazzo Belmonte, with its elegant function room, offers a unique location for those wishing to organise a small-scale conference, business meeting, or corporate event.
