Located in the heart of the Cilento National Park, Lido Paradiso Resort offers bungalows in Marina Di Pisciotta. It features an outdoor pool, bar and a private beach.
”Our party of seven (four adults and three kids) stayed in two "mobile homes" for three nights in the middle of a 16 day tour of Italy. What a gorgeous, welcoming respite from all the bustle and chaos of Florence and Rome! This is a resort that primarily caters to vacationing Italian families--we got by with our google translate and with the help of Dario, the resort's primary english-speaking employee. Was sometimes a little difficult, but the staff was so gracious and so willing to help us understand, we always felt taken care of! Dario picked us up at the train station and brought us right to the resort. The station is walkable, and three of our group made the walk one morning to pick up the train to Paestum to see the ruins but the Resort will pick you up with your bags, very simple to get situated. There is a little store on site where you can buy all kinds of things for your stay--I think the mobile homes are kind of like the Italian version of a KOA, families go to "camp" for the week and cook, etc., inside their suites. Having a stove, sink, etc., was awesome as we were able to pick up pasta, sauce, fruit, nescafe, etc., at the mini market, making breakfast and lunch very low stress (and inexpensive). There is a restaurant on site, but we never did really figure out the process for reserving tables/times, so after the first night (when the staff very graciously seated us for dinner after a major miscommunication), we just ate breakfast and lunch in our room between visits to the beach. The market also has beach toys, sunscreen, water shoes (which you need, as the beach is pebbly rather than sandy), etc. Everything you need to make your stay fabulous! Also the staff helped us arrange transport on the Ape Callesino to Pisciotta village, which is so incredibly gorgeous and well worth the trouble to make it up the hill. The Ape Callesino is an amazing adventure in itself, highly recommend!”
