We arrived by car from Rome late in the afternoon & didnt realise that access to the temples closed at 3pm. So I would suggest that if you are travelling outside of the peak tourist times, as we did, that you check in advance of the opening hours for the temples.However all was not lost as the excellent Museo Di... more

The hotel was very quiet when we stayed, as it was coming to the end of the season. But as it's walking distance to the archaeological site, it's the perfect base if that's what you've come to see. (By contrast, if it's the beach you want, there are hotels much closer to the sea.) There were a couple of good... more

The antithesis of hostelries in throbbing urban centers like Naples, Il Granaio dei Casabella is a large, quiet country house where you can breathe easy and enjoy the rooms filled with delightful country antiques as well as the extensive garden, where marvelous homecooked dinners are served by candlelight. You are welcomed without restraint, as a personal friend rather than a... more

This is a perfect place for a couple to come and enjoy rooms with rural vistas, charming hosts, drinking wine by a large fireplace and having beautifully prepared dinners. My wife and I arrived on a rainy afternoon and were greeted by our hostess and service personnel. Our room was large and had a view of the Paestum archeological site.... more

We drove here from Taormina Sicily crossing Straits of Messina on autostrada. Then on narrow roads with vineyards loaded with October grapes from mountain down to Paestum. Hotel/Inn was in a gated large courtyard and a former granary. Lovely conversion, wonderful living and breakfast room with old furniture and antiques.. Owners are charming and so welcoming. Our room was large... more

We spent two nights at Il Granaio dei Casabella in August, 2008. I recommend the hotel. Our room and bathroom was big and comfortable. There are a number of cozy reading rooms and a lawn with many places to sit. Because there are only 12 rooms, the hotel was quiet and relaxing. The breakfast was very good. The staff is... more

We stayed at Il Granaio in November 2007 and liked it so much that we returned with visitors in January 2008 and have since recommended it to other friends. The location is amazing - only a 5 minute walk to the ruins of Paestum, the most magical ancient ruins in Italy. The atmosphere is elegant and comfortable and the owners... more

We selected our stay based on Trip Advisor reviews - we weren't disappointed -- in fact we were very pleasantly surprised. We have visited Paestum at least 8 times in the past 18 months - we take all of our visiting friends from the US there though usually on day trips from our home in Avellino. This was our first... more

Lovely setting near the temples. Beautifully restored building with antique furniture. Lovely gardens. Our room had its own conservatory, overlooked only by the trees. Food in the restaurant was some of the best in Italy, and we weer made to feel at home by the marvelous staff. Breakfast was fantastic. We wished that we could have stayed longer. When, after... more
