Bathing holidays at Pisciotta-Caprioli: holiday homes and holiday apartments

Caprioli is perfect for 'classic' bathing holidays. However, hiking into the hinterland and looking for historical traces from ancient times may also be worth your while. All our holiday homes and holiday apartments at Pisciotta-Caprioli offer a fantastic view of the sea.  

A district rich in history

The association “Kenotafion” has made it its duty to keep the sights of the ancient Caprioli from being forgotten. Be it a palazzo from the 17th century, a Lucanian burial site, a small 200-year old castle or the remains of a windmill – Caprioli still has a lot to tell about its history.

Medieval village of Pisciotta

On the coastal road from Palinuro to Velia, the medieval village of Pisciotta is picturesquely situated on a hill above the Mediterranean Sea. Walking the narrow alleys and stairways with their palazzi and houses dating from the 16th century, you experience the unique atmosphere of real Italian village life.

In spite of its closeness to the sea, Pisciotta is not overrun by tourists, customs and traditions which are hundreds of years old are preserved and kept alive.

Stores, bars, restaurants...

In the village piazza you will find grocery stores and bars, a cash dispenser and the post office are also nearby. To be recommended is the restaurant "Tre Gufi" ("Three Tawny Owls"), which offers not only delicious dishes (…the pizza is superb!) but  also a splendid view of the sea from its terrace at the foot of the medieval palazzo, the highest point of the Pisciotta.
