Hotel Residence Solone  

On Italy’s Cilento coast in Ascea Marina, this beach hotel sits a short stroll from the Velia ruins and Casal Velino Marina. It’s minutes from Cilento e Vallo di Diano National Park and within easy reach of the Caves of Palinuro and Casal Velino Watchtower. A private, equipped sandy beach is about 250 m away and reachable by free beach shuttle.

The property offers a mix of air-conditioned guestrooms and self-catering apartments with warm décor and simple comforts like digital TVs, phones and daily housekeeping. Bathrooms have showers and hair dryers, and common areas open onto sun terraces with views toward the Tower of Velia. Open spaces and seaside proximity give the place a relaxed, family-friendly vibe.

Two swimming pools (adult and children) plus a seasonal outdoor pool and sun terraces invite long, lazy days by the water. Enjoy the private beach with umbrellas and sun beds, a complimentary beach shuttle, a poolside bar and an on-site bar/lounge. The hotel also runs a tour desk and offers guest transfers for easy exploring—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for the sand.

Practical services include train station pick-up and guest transfers, plus laundry/dry-cleaning and a front-desk safe deposit box for peace of mind.

A renowned on-site restaurant highlights local Cilento ingredients and regional flavors, with varied menus and attention to detail. For lighter moments there’s a poolside bar and bar/lounge to relax with a drink after sightseeing.
