This is a lovely holiday - I went twice with JY and thoroughly enjoyed it. San Marco, where the hotel is located, is a small village with its big sister, Santa Maria, a walk along the beach or a short bus ride (although the bus system is not entirely reliable!). Castellabate, where the very funny Italian film "Benvenuti al Sud" was made, sits on a hill high above both.
All the bedrooms have a balcony with a sea view - either over the beach, pool and sea, or over the busy little harbour and there are lots of places where you can retreat with a book in the shade, or join the others in the bar.
If you want a light lunch at the pool-side terrace try the "Insalata Aqua Sale" - a delicious salad over crunchy bread and lightly sprayed with salt water. My mouth is watering thinking about it!
If you take the trip to amazing Paestum take an umbrella as there is almost no shade.
Enjoy!
