4 of us ladies visited Il Castello Di San Sergio last week celebrating turning 40 and fell in love! At first, I thought we would be disappointed not staying right... read more down on the beach, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Sylvia, the owner, couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating with wonderful recommendations of restaurants and things to do, always being around to guide us in any way she could, and providing us with everything we would need during our stay. Our room was perfect for the 4 of us (we had the building with the room on it's own), and the views were spectacular. The windy road up to the castle, was fun and added character to the entire experience. Breakfast was delicious and incredibly relaxing in the courtyard between the buildings. A dream. The beds weren't the most comfortable, but because of the incredible breeze and beautiful surroundings, I slept like a baby.
Thank you Sylvia for such a wonderful experience and stay at your fantastic Bed & Breakfast with great history. If ever I am back in Palinuro, which I do hope to be, I will absolutely be staying at Il Castello Di San Sergio again!
The other reviewers got it right! Our stay at Castello di San Sergio was fantastic! The host Vincenzo, along with his sister and mother and warm staff, made our stay... read more magical. Clean, large rooms with great amenities inside, but a breathtaking view from the garden and terrace. Wonderful tips for touring the Palinuro region. Great choices of local wines to accompany delicious charcuterie boards in the evening. Peaceful breakfasts with changing pastries each morning outside to soak up the view. What else can be said except we can’t wait to return!
Il castello di San Sergio is a hidden gem in the heart of Cilento National Park. The breathtaking view from this b&b is just one of the many little amazing... read more things this place can offer. I was delighted by the structure itself, which is surprisingly modern even if the ancient building is perfectly preserved, and by the wonderful hospitality of the owners. Vincenzo is the man who can transform your holiday into an unforgettable adventure in Palinuro ( thank you very much for this). While his mother prepares delicious handmade fruit preserves which are served at breakfast together with other local products. This is, I believe, the real “Italian experience”.
All in all, I genuinely think that what this place and its surrounding must be visited at least once in a lifetime.
This is a wonderful retreat. Our party of seven had three rooms, and all were great. Your hosts are available and helpful. The terrace breakfast is wonderful - you'll... read more enjoy a perfect cappuccino and a nice meal with a world-class view. The location is great to explore the surrounding area. Palinuro is a nice beach community, and the ruins at Velia are not to be missed.
We highly recommend this property.
Castello di San Sergio is one a marvellous spot overviewing Palinuro and the sea. The castle is very impressive, our room simple but clean and efficient. The place would be... read more very quiet if there are no cows with bells (1st night only) and no guests in the room above, who start at 6:00 am walking around with shoes (our room: Aphrodite).

This place is amazing! Can be a bit hard to find but when you've found it, it is really worth the while.

We had a great time and this place is highly recommended.
We had a wonderful stay at the Castello. The room was very comfortable, the view was amazing and the breakfast was excellent. A few upgrades in the bedding and towels... read more with better quality items would make a big difference.
The road to get there is not the best as it's quite small and not in great shape but once you get used to it is fine.
We had dinner at the hotel one night and we found it to be a bit expensive for what they offer, 5 euros for a spritz seemed a bit steep.
Other than that it was a wonderful place to spend a few days.
My boyfriend and I stayed at this wonderful place late in June and we’ll keep wonderful memories of that time forever.

The quiet and the green that surround Il Castello di San Sergio were amazing, just what we were looking for, a relaxing holiday . We were fascinated by the charming premises (our bedroom was lovely).

First time ever in Cilento and through TA we landed in this location. We got a so precious support/guidance by the owner - Vincenzo - on the “to do list”.... read more Where to go, what to visit, where to eat (reservation included) were always perfectly fitting with our wishes and needs.
