What were you particularly pleased by in the Cilento? “A lot of nature, no large hotel complex, steep coast with small bays, clean water, beautiful hiking possibilities” And regarding your accommodation? “Well, actually, everything! Above all, the quiet location amid olive groves, the outdoor sitting area beneath the lemon tree in front of the house, beautiful and spacious rooms as well as a lot of space inside and outside.” E. Dippon, holiday home Casa Ulivo (Cilento), September 2008.

“Dear Cilentano-Team, we would like to thank you very much for the olive oil. We have just sorted through our holiday photos and we want to pass on some of our impressions. It was really very nice in the Cilento (nature, people, the sea) and we enjoyed our stay there very much.” U. Hermann, holiday home Casa Granata (Cilento), October 2008.

“We really enjoyed our stay in the Cilento as well as at the Amalfi coast. Our special experiences: Near Paestum (Cilento) we came across a wonderful herd of buffalo! Magnificent animals. At the Amalfi coast, we met a farmer with mules.” B. and C. Aeschbach-Elsener, holiday apartments Villa Adriana (Cilento) and B&B Orto Paradiso (Amalfi coast), September/October 2008.

„Dear staff of Cilentano. It was with a heavy heart that we left the Cilento on Wednesday to return to Hamburg. Casa Angela as well as the weather met with our greatest expectations. It would take a rather long letter to list all the advantages and the charming as well as convenient features of the house and its location. Be assured that we were perfectly happy.” T. and A. Pawlouschek, holiday apartment Casa Angela (Cilento), September/October 2008.

“Dear Cilentano-Team, yesterday we returned from our holiday in the Cilento and we are still full of enthusiasm. It was a good choice to spend our annual leave in that area and to turn to you for support. Thanks a lot for handling our matter smoothly and reliably at short notice. Everything worked out well. Villa Nelli’s location is very good regarding quiet and panorama and the furnishing is above average for a holiday home.” J. and M. Prechtl, holiday home Villa Nelli (Cilento), October 2008.

„Our insiders’ tip for Sicily: Cava Grande del Cassibile. The canyon is located to the northwest of Avola in the eastern part of Sicily. Here, the river Cassibile forms a canyon which is 10 km long and 250 m deep. From the vista point, there is a stairway in the rocks which takes you to the five “freshwater pools” of the canyon in half an hour. You can take a refreshing bath and simply relax. For the way back you have to count an hour. We undertook this tour when it was 35 degrees in the schade. All in all, a very sweaty affair. But our reward, the well-earned cooling, was always in sight.” J. Ehmer, Villa Nives (Sicily), July/August 2008.

„We were resp. we are absolutely enthusiastic about this region in Italy! We were particularly pleased by the magnificent green landscape, the extremely clean sea, the cordiality of the Italian people, the authenticity of the area (it is the way you imagine or wish an authentic Italy to be), the fresh fish in the pescheria, above all spigola and alici (the latter very good to marinate) – simply Italy! Our Cilento-tip: The Bussento Gorge is surely worth a visit (see photo)!” H. Zaugg, Villa Lentini (Cilento), July 2008.

"Hello! We would like to send you a picture of our wonderful holiday in the Cilento." In the midst of Southern Italian everyday life: in the picture the piazza of Pisciotta – in the background the village policeman who is rather good-natured. C. and M. Schaubach, Casa del Pescatore (Cilento), June 2008.

We were particularly pleased by "the landscape, the clean sea and the fact that there are few tourists. Our Cilento-tip: definitely, a trip into the hinterland to the small villages. It's worthwhile in spite of the winding roads!" M. Reichmann, Casa Poli (Cilento), June 2008.

„We stayed at Villa Bellamarina in Marina di Camerota for 2 months from end of March to mid May 2008 and would like to recommend it to other viewers of this site as we had such an enjoyable time there. My friend and I were embarking on a 2 year round the world trip and wanted a couple of months relaxation in Italy to start us off! Villa Bellamarina was the perfect place for this! Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly (...)! Several times during our stay Francesca or one of her daughters would call up to our balcony and lift up a plate of food freshly baked that she had prepared for us! We were completely overwelmed by her kind hospitality, and that of her husband, who often offered us a lift home if he met us en route from the shops. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. (...) We spent much of our time, when not exploring the local area, sat out on the large balcony facing the sea (...). It was a wonderful place to sit with a fabulous view of the town and ocean. Marina di Camerota itself was a lovely town with a busy marina, lovely beach and the town piazza was a great place to sit at any time and watch the comings and goings. Not too touristy which was definitely part of its charm! It was also a good base for visiting other parts of southern Italy - we had weekends away in both Capri and Sicily while we were there, both of which were very easy to get to.“ Picture: at the Calanca Beach in Marina di Camerota. J. Kinnersley, Villa Bellamarina (Cilento), March to May 2008.

Mrs. Oswald in a pescheria in Avola. "Dear Cilentano-Team, thank you very much for the good planning and the tip to take along warm clothing. December evenings can be rather cold on Sicily, even though you can enjoy the sunshine on the veranda at noon. We felt very comfortable at Villa Nives." Guests Oswald, Villa Nives (Sicily), December 2007.
