Beach and bathing holidays at Pisciotta-Caprioli: holiday homes with sea view

Caprioli is a perfect place for beach holidays. Hiking into the hinterland as well as looking out for historical traces from ancient times may, however, also be worth your while. All the holiday homes you can book with us 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 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 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, terraced alleys and passing 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; centuries-old customs and traditions are preserved and kept alive.

Stores, bars, restaurants...

At and around the village piazza you find grocery stores and bars, a cash dispenser and the post office are also nearby. "I Tre Gufi" ("Three Tawny Owls") is a restaurant we recommend stopping by - not only for a delicious meal, but also for a splendid view of the sea from its terrace at the foot of the medieval palazzo, at the highest point of Pisciotta.
