Boutique & Luxury Hotels in Salerno

This coastal city is located in the center of the tourist triangle composed by Pompei, Paestum and Positano. Visit the Arechi Castle, perched high on a hill and admire the magnificent view of the Amalfi coast. Visit the museum of the oldest medieval medical school in Europe, founded in the 9th century, then refresh your senses with fresh water from the fountain of the Minerva within the Museum gardens. Enter the imposing cathedral of Salerno with its characteristic bell tower, and search for St. Matthew’s relics in the crypt. Buy tickets for evening shows at the Teatro Verdi, built in 1872 then dine on ‘vicillo’, a typical ring-like bread cake filled with salame, mozzarella and eggs. Finish your visit with a relaxing walk along the Salerno promenade by the sea with a fruity homemade ice-cream.
