Il Vecchio Frantoio  

Set in the green Cilento countryside of Caselle di Stella Cilento, inside the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. About 4 km from the town centre, roughly 12 km from Marina di Casal Velino beaches and around 15 km from the Velia ruins. Best reached by car (Vallo Scalo ~10 km, Ascea Marina ~17 km; Naples about two hours’ drive).

A renovated country house that once housed the Feo family’s olive mill—the old mill is still visible on the exterior. The single, two-level building sits surrounded by vegetation and keeps a rustic, country-style vibe. Rooms are simple and functional (twin/double/triple/quad), with private bathrooms (bathtub or shower), air conditioning, TV, Wi‑Fi, desk and electric kettle, plus daily housekeeping.

Seasonal outdoor pool, Jacuzzi and a solarium with parasols and sun loungers for lazy, sun-soaked afternoons. Barbecue area, children’s playground and a roomy terrace and garden invite family time. Free on-site self-parking, a welcoming bar/lounge and a library round out the facilities. Pet-friendly for small pets on request and family-friendly rooms make it a great countryside base.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi in rooms and common areas and desks in rooms for light work. 24-hour front desk, safe deposit box and concierge services; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Start with a generous continental/local cuisine breakfast served daily from 8:30–10:00. On-site restaurant serves typical Cilento and national dishes à la carte (try the fiori di ravioli with buffalo ricotta), plus a coffee shop/cafe, bar/lounge and room service for relaxed meals.
