This pleasant three-star hotel in Salerno province is located in the unspoilt resort of Palinuro, a charming little resort on the Cilento coast. Legend has it that the coast was named after Aeneas's helmsman, who was charmed to sleep on his journey and said to be buried here. The coast here is dotted with mysterious caves and hidden coves, many of which are accessible only by sea. Hotel Pensione Cinquestelle has 14 light-filled guest rooms, all with en-suite bathroom facilities, cable/satellite TV (with Sky channels) direct-dial phone and a safety-deposit box. There is a good restaurant here serving classic Italian and typical local dishes, and a stylish bar with a wide selection of drinks. There is 24-hour service on reception and additional facilities include a range of spa treatments, meeting facilities, a shuttle service to and from the airport and an internet point.
