Acciaroli

- The austere charme of times gone by: in one of Acciaroli's alleys.
Ernest Hemingway in Acciaroli
The small, genuine fishing village of Acciaroli has become famous due to Hemingway’s visit in 1952.
Here, the author experienced an encounter with his own creation.
Exhausted from the work on his novel "The old man and the sea", he met "his" old man in the person of the fisherman Antonio Masarone.
"Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated."
Almost every day, Antonio Masarone and Ernest Hemingway went fishing at sea.
- The harbour of Acciaroli: fishing still plays an important role (picture by one of our guests).
Historical centre
Acciaroli today still spreads the austere charm of times long gone, with its historical centre and narrow alleys.
You are comfortably seated in one of the café-bars along the picturesque seaside promenade.
The church and the imposing Saracen tower seem to loom above the sea. And still fishing plays an important role.
Fantastic sandy beaches
The long, gently sloping beach is a treat for water-babies of all ages. The crystal clear water and the fine sand are a real delight.
Nearest train station: Vallo della Lucania.
- The long, gently sloping beach turns Acciaroli into a paradise for waterbabies of all ages.
