Posto incantevole, sistemazione molto al disotto delle aspettative
Pros:

L’entrata ed il giardino, tutto il resto è precluso.

Cons:

La camera, in villette a schiera molto poco signorili.
Il palazzo è solo di facciata, viene pubblicizzato ma poi la giornata gira intorno alla sistemazione nelle villette a schiera anni 80/90.

Beautiful location, well-kept gardens, and excellent staff cannot make up for the hotel's lack of tr
Pros:

Garden

Cons:

The "Mountain View" room was a terrible experience. It overlooks a hillside, but it's practically right next to a main road. If you want to breathe in traffic exhaust fumes, this is the perfect place. Of course, none of this is mentioned on the website. And a room like this can cost as much as €450 per night. It's outrageous!

The week I'm already looking forward to repeat next year!
Pros:

Staying at Palazzo Belmonte felt like a true treat for both body and mind. It was the perfect escape from the pace of everyday life, a place where you can genuinely unwind. We loved the peace and tranquility of the gorgeous gardens, the sound of birdsong, and the beautifully preserved historic estate. Everything feels authentic, private, and exceptionally well maintained. It's a rare place that invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment. We can't wait to come back!

Expensive stay in a rundown environment.
Pros:

The quality of the room, as already described was not adequate for the price we paid. It was in an old, modern building on the ground floor, garden view but facing the high wall and the internal road. This meant that we needed to keep the shutters always closed. The breakfast also did not reflect the price. The juices offered where not fresh and the choises or pastries/cakes were limited and not of a high quality. Furthermore, to have a cokked breakfast there was an additional charge, which given the overall price was unacceptable. Finally, the whole environment gave a sense of neglect. The beach furnitures were not properly cleaned, while the life guard was sitting on his phone the whole time.

A poor room in a lovely park
Pros:

I booked 8 nights (around €375 per night). Standard room.
The palazzo has a very lovely park and a small private beach. Castellabate is very close by.
Nicht gefallen · Breakfast is served in lovely surroundings, but it’s barely adequate. More choice costs extra – and that at these room rates.
I was given a dark room with a shabby bathroom that smelled awful (like an ashtray). Airing it out didn’t help. My complaint to reception came to nothing. It wasn’t until three days before I left that I was given a lovely superior room, refurbished and odour-free.
That seems to me to be completely unacceptable compared to the price (and the long stay, payed in advance). It’s a shame they didn’t make an effort to rectify the problem straight away.

Beautiful and unique
Pros:

There are hotels you enjoy, and then there are places that stay with you long after you've left. Palazzo Belmonte belongs firmly in the latter category. It is a truly special, magical place, and for me that comes down to three things.
First, the property itself is extraordinary. It feels less like a hotel and more like a private seaside estate, with a graceful palazzo set amid beautiful gardens that lead gently to the sea. There is an understated elegance and authenticity throughout, and a sense of calm that invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the surroundings.
Second, the location could hardly be better. Set directly by the sea, yet only a short stroll from the heart of Santa Maria di Castellabate, it offers the perfect balance of tranquility and authentic Italian life. Whether you're enjoying the beach, wandering through the charming streets, or exploring the surrounding coastline, everything feels effortlessly accessible.
Most of all, however, what makes Palazzo Belmonte exceptional is its people. The owners and every member of the staff embody a level of graciousness, warmth, and kindness that is increasingly rare. They don't simply provide outstanding hospitality—they make you feel genuinely welcomed, as though you are a guest in their home rather than a customer in a hotel.
The reception team deserves special recognition, especially Chiara and Flavia. They were unfailingly kind, endlessly patient, and seemingly tireless in helping us make the most of our stay. Whether arranging restaurant reservations, organizing visits to a mozzarella farm and to Santomiele—a remarkable fig farm and artisanal fig boutique—finding a particularly knowledgeable guide for Paestum, or securing a boat rental so we could explore the spectacular coastline around Capo Palinuro, nothing was ever too much trouble. Every recommendation was thoughtful, and every interaction was accompanied by genuine warmth and enthusiasm.
What struck me most during our stay was that the ancient Greek concept of philoxenia —the love of welcoming strangers—is not simply practiced at Palazzo Belmonte. It seems woven into the very DNA of the owners, the staff, and even the people of Santa Maria di Castellabate.
One afternoon we went looking for "Baffo," the gelateria everyone had recommended. We found it, only to discover it was closed. As we turned away, I noticed an elderly gentleman with a magnificent white mustache stepping out of his car nearby. On a hunch, I asked whether he happened to be Baffo. He smiled and said that he was. When he realized we had come specifically for his gelato, he apologized that the shop was closed—and then, without hesitation, offered to open it just for us. It was such a simple gesture, yet one that perfectly captured the generosity of spirit we encountered everywhere.
Palazzo Belmonte is a beautiful place to stay. It is a place that reminds you that true hospitality is a cultural inheritance. In the shadow of Paestum's temples, philoxenia is not an archaeological relic—it is a living tradition. We cannot wait to return.

What a gem of a small & boutique hotel
Pros:

The Palazzo Hotel is an absolute gem and delight. It is a boutique hotel wrapped up in a historic building and which has been in the same family for an extraordinary number of years. It sits right on the edge of a village and is on a beach which feels manageably unbusy and enjoyable. We were a group of eight: two parents, three adult daughters in their late twenties, and their respective partners. It was a wonderful week in which we were able to share as a family, laugh, eat well, and relax. There was a little bit of everything for each age group and generation, whether that be pool time, beach time, nightlife, or exploring the area.

Historic Greek ruins are a short drive away, as are other villages and towns and a large natural park area. The rooms are attractive, comfortable, simple but full of creature comforts. Everything was very clean. The noise level was low, and the service which was provided was of a first-class nature.

The hotel is a bed-and-breakfast proposition with a good but limited lunch option as well, an open bar and area by the pool and beach. It was extremely pleasant and predictably good and straightforward. The hotel is privately owned by a family, and this shows in the intimate nature in which the hotel is managed and the customers are looked after. We felt pampered and very well taken care of.

Pros:

Struttura bellissima in ottima posizione

Cons:

Purtroppo si sono svolti lavori di manutenzione e pulizia parco nelle prime ore della mattina , non rispettando le ore del silenzio che su ogni struttura di questo livello andrebbero garantire al fine di dare un buon confort agli ospiti , comunque personale cordiale e sempre disponibile serve però più attenzione da chi guida la struttura . Abbiamo anche fatto segnalare al Comune che le colonnine di ricarica delle auto elettriche erano sempre fuori servizio e non si capisce perché l’amministrazione comunale le abbia inserite per la ricarica in zona ZTL , forse una struttura come questa con ampi spazi all’interno del parcheggio potrebbe inserire almeno due colonnine di ricarica al proprio interno garantendo un servizio visto il livello della struttura

Enttäuschende Zimmer in einer schönen Anlage
Pros:

Wunderbare Lage der Anlage. Schöner grosser Garten.

Cons:

Wir haben 2 Standardzimmer mit Gartenblick gebucht für je knapp 284 Euro die Nacht. Das eine hatte dann aber Blick auf den Parkplatz, das andere auf die Klimaanlage, die einen horrenden Lärm machte von morgens um 6 bis bis Abends um 23 Uhr. Als wir reklamierten wurden wir abgespeist mit einem unhöflichen Mail mit dem Inhalt sorry booked out und Rückverweisung auf Booking.com für eine allfällige Preisreduktion.
