We arrived in the medieval town of Pisciotta for our 2 night stay. We'd called beforehand and spoken to Lea for directions. There is no parking on-site so we followed her directions to the town square where we parked our car temporarily whilst we checked in and dropped off our bags. Lea came out to meet us at the square... More

I visit the village of Pisciotta almost every summer due to it being my 2nd family home, all my visits to the Marulivo previously were purely for a pre dinner drink or 2 and to soak up the spectacular views on their terrace. It truly is amazing so make sure you are there ready with your camera. This April 2013,... More

After many visits to the fantastic terrace of the Marulivo hotel for evening drinks whilst staying at the family home in Pisciotta, we found it necessary to stay there for two nights in April this year, 2013. The hotel proprietors were as we had found them as bar-guests before very welcoming and friendly with nothing too much trouble. The weather... More

We were here just for 1 night in early October and we loved it. It was hot that day so after checking in, we walked down, down, down the hill to swim at the beach. Very fun. It was a bit of a climb back up, but worth it. We arrived back just in time for wine on the terrace... More

We recently returned from our 3rd visit to the Cilento and our first to Hotel Marulivo in Pisciotta - which we found through a review in the Italian travel magazine "Dove". Our initial contact with Lea was via email - and immediately a good rapport was established. Her driving directions to the hotel were perfect. As we were unable to... More

We stayed at the Marulivo for a second time this year. Because we had seen the wonderfully fresh produce in the shops in the village the year before, we chose this year to stay in one of the hotel's self-catering apartments. It was extremely well appointed, comfortable and quiet. Besides an en-suite double bedroom, it had a cosy little sitting... More

For my boyfriend and me (we are a young german couple, both 30 years old) it was the best place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the south-italian area "Cilento". We rented a small (you absolutely need a very small car to drive the coastal roads of the Cilento, it takes nearly 3 hours from Napoli to Pisciotta) in... More

Not the view of the Arno river in Florence that the guests of the Pensione Bertolini failed to have in the opening of E. M. Forster's novel, but the view that my wife and I had from the window of our room during our recent stay at the Marulivo Hotel. The hotel is situated at the highest point in the... More

We cannot think of a nicer place for a relaxing and truly Italian hoiliday. Pisciotta is a lovely old Southern Italian village with welcoming and friendly people. There are great characters, restaurants serving 'real' Italian food, especially the Osteria del Borgo which is only two minutes from the hotel, and wonderful sandy and virtually deserted beaches to visit nearby. Don't... More
