Hotel Da Carmine - Beach hotel in Ogliastro Marina

Idyllic family-run hotel right by the sea

Family-run Hotel Da Carmine is found in idyllic location in the small hamlet of Ogliastro Marina, on the southern side of maritime wildlife park Punta Licosa. The mountain village and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Castellabate is only a few kilometers off.

40 m of sandy beach stretch out in front of the hotel. In the mornings, you feel close to jumping right into the sparkling blue sea from the balconies of the rooms. However, Da Carmine has more to offer, not only its perfect location by the sea. The adjoining restaurant is quite well-known in the Cilento for its excellent cuisine.

The hotel and the restaurant are run by the four Verrone brothers. As hospitality has been a matter of heartfelt, personal importance there for four centuries, very friendly and obliging service is what you can look forward to and rely on during your stay. 

Your room with sea view

The altogether 24 rooms of Hotel Da Carmine are tastefully furnished.

8 rooms with sea view are located in the hotel annex, which was completed in 2019. Each room is furnished with a double bed, can be occupied by max. 2 persons and includes a private, furnished sea view balcony as well as a bathroom with shower cabin, WC, bidet and hair dryer.

Another 12 double rooms with balcony, 8 of which face the sea, are found in the main building. These rooms, which can be furnished with an additional bed upon request, of course also include a bathroom with shower, WC, bidet and hair dryer.

The rooms in the main building and in the annex offer free WLAN access as well as safe, mini bar, air conditioning and Sat-TV. 

The so-called Dependance (without sea view), which is 50 m off, houses another 4 guest rooms, which are very spaciously laid-out and therefore particularly suited for families. Each room accommodates up to four persons and includes a kitchenette where you can prepare small meals or in-between snacks yourself.

Private beach and authentic fish cuisine

The private sandy beach right at the hotel is reserved for the guests of the hotel. Sun beds and sun shades are included in the room rates, so look forward to your beach holidays.

Further beaches, free and with service, are found southwards (Acciaroli) and to the north of Punta Licosa at Santa Maria di Castellabate and at Zona Lago, which are also part of the comune of Castellabate.

This coastal section of the Cilento is also great for those who love to take long walks along the beach during their holidays. From San Marco, a well-maintained path runs along the beach to the neighboring communities and takes you to the numerous and very recommendable beach bars and restaurants, e.g. La Tartaruga at Santa Maria.

The kitchen and cuisine at the hotel are Giuseppe Verrone’s realm, where particular emphasis is put on fish and vegetable dishes. Authentic, traditional and simply Cilentan! Olive oil and vegetables are mainly of home-grown, organic quality, clearly in line with the Dieta Mediterranea.

In the morning, you serve yourself at a rich Italian breakfast buffet. Be it breakfast or dinner, your meals too are always 'accompanied' by a unique view of the sea and Cilento coastline. The restaurant has got a terrace which almost seems to float above the sea.

Special location at the maritime wildlife park

Ogliastro Marina is an ideal place if you want to get away from your daily hustle and bustle for a short while. It is a small village of 100 souls and without through-traffic. The road ends about 400 m after passing the hotel and that is where the untouched, fascinating landscape of Punta Licosa with its offshore maritime wildlife park begins. It is a very popular hiking area with Cilento vacationers.

A fenced parking lot for your car is only a few steps from Hotel Da Carmine.

At the small piazza of Ogliastro Marina, there is a bar which offers a good aperitivo with delicious finger food. There is also a small grocery store in the village.
