I travelled with my sister who was wheelchair bound and we selected your hotel for our holiday.
From the very time of our arrival to our departure words simply fail me...... The ambience, service, style and comfort of the accommodation and your outstanding staff made our stay most enjoyable. Your team could not have done enough for us your senior management headed by the Hotel manager Mr. Giovanni and his outstanding assistance, who could not have done any more to make our stay so enjoyable, their kindness and their professionalism was simply outstanding. (So much so that we extended our stay for a further 2 nights)
Having been a tour operator for over forty years I have stayed in many properties worldwide and I would rate your Hotel a full ten out of ten. The very location can not be beaten, directly overlooking the sea. To your room, restaurant, reception, and pool area staff when far and beyond the call of their duty to make sure that my sister was accommodated in every way to make our stay so enjoyable.
We look forward to returning to your paradise on earth next year again.
Our full marks to you, Mr. Giovanni, you are an outstanding team player, and all but all of your staff find it an honour to fall under your guideness. We wish you and your team every success for 2018 and many years to come...

Living in London and exhausted by the hustle and bustle of a big city, I was really looking forward to spending a week somewhere quiet and totally immersed in nature - Pian delle Starze was just what I was looking for.

The location is unparalleled - nestled on a hill in the middle of southern Italy's Cilento National Park, the panoramic views from our room were breathtaking as was the soothing calm environment where the only thing we could hear was the sound of crickets in the background at night. Being a bit of a fussy sleeper, I was pleased to find that the beds were very comfortable and that the room was thankfully protected by a fool proof mosquito net. The garden pool is well maintained (again with beautiful views) and was a welcome oasis of peace for those afternoon/evenings when cooling down was a necessity after being out all day.

Pian delle Starze is a family business and the family was indeed quite involved. The owner Giovanni was welcoming and always helpful with anything we needed although his mother and aunt really stole the show as the cooks in the kitchen who delighted us every evening with delicious dishes made with local ingredients and using traditional recipes. Looking forward to dinner became one of the highlights of the holiday! Breakfast didn't disappoint either - there was plenty to choose from: from cereal, lots of fresh fruit, bread, butter and jams to different types of home made cakes, croissants, cheeses, cured meats, omelettes, yoghurts - you name it. If you have food allergies, you can be easily catered for - being gluten free was easily accommodated.

Perhaps what I remember most fondly though, is the friendliness, kindness and professionalism of the staff. The restaurant waiting staff Maria, Orlando and Giuseppe were absolutely delightful as was the general manager Rosario and receptionist Francesca. It was them who really made the whole experience that extra special. All in all, I had a wonderful time :-)
