Guest reviews
Exceptional
Liked: Very close to archeological area as well as beaches. Good apartment for 2 people, it could be a bit small for 4.
Disliked: Nothing, all was good!
It was like being in a wonderful dream to sit on the terrace and see millenia of history right in front of me
Liked: . It is a beautiful house. It is very old, but perfectly updated to retain the reality of the 19th century, but have all the modern conveniences. Being able to wake up and go to sleep with the view of a temple was beyond anything I could have imagined. The hosts went out of their way to do unexpected wonderful favors for me that I wouldn’t even have asked, for they just thought of them for me, and it was so gracious. The kitchen was stocked with things I didn’t even expect. everything. It was just wonderful. The train station was within walking distance, but the host made it not necessary for me to walk. The air conditioning is a little bit temperamental, but I didn’t go to 2500 year old ruins for the air-conditioning.
Disliked: The bed could be a little more comfortable, but then I am quite old so that could have affected my experience
A magical place to stay
Liked: We arrived shortly after sunset and were met in the car park of the neighbouring restaurant (very easy). The house is next to a farm in a quiet area, with space to park the car right outside. The house is spacious and well equipped and beautifully furnished with antique furniture. The signori led us into the garden where there is a beautiful patio, planted with orange trees. The scent of the trees was heavenly. They then led us down the garden, through their olive grove. At the end of the olive grove was the fence for the Paestum archaeological site and there, floodlit, were the Greek temples. Absolutely magical! The entrance to the archaeological site is a short, safe stroll down the road. We stayed for two nights but would happily have stayed longer. We hope that one day we might return - thank you for a lovely stay!
Disliked: Not a problem for us but, for information, the WiFi was slow and intermittent. The tank for hot water was small, but quick to heat up. In the evening, there was rock music, which was loud in the garden, coming from a very long way off - somewhere beyond the archaeological site (not audible inside the double-glazed house).
We loved it!
Liked: Fantastic location right next to the archeological park, with views of the temples from the garden. Very accommodating and helpful hosts. The apartment was great, very cosy and quiet.
A peaceful, charming retreat near the Temples of Paestum that exceeded our expectations
Liked: I booked a one-night stay at IL GIARDINO DI ATHENA, a beautifully renovated home that perfectly blends traditional charm with modern comforts. Despite reading the description in advance, the reality exceeded all expectations—this hidden gem truly surprised us in the best way. It was almost surreal: when we arrived at the address and searched for the exact house, we crossed a rough, unpaved square near a quaint Italian cottage-style restaurant. Then we followed a short path lined with neat, well-tended small farms. The fresh scent of nature filled the air, and the soft murmuring of animals gave us a sense of being warmly welcomed. As soon as we entered IL GIARDINO DI ATHENA, we felt instantly relaxed. The atmosphere was calm and serene, and the house itself was thoughtfully equipped and comfortable—just what we needed to unwind and recharge. Our host welcomed us with genuine warmth and took the time to explain everything we needed to know about the house and the surrounding area. When she showed us the backyard, we were stunned: a lovely garden filled with fruit and olive trees, with a clear view of the nearby Temples of Paestum in the distance. It was a breathtaking sight. A short walk brought us to the entrance of the archaeological park. Visiting the temples both by day and by night, with barely anyone else around, gave us the uncanny feeling of stepping back in time—almost as if we were walking the very ground once inhabited by the ancient Greeks.
Beautiful place in a calm setting
Liked: Great place to stay. Our hosts were really lovely - they picked us up from the station and dropped us off again at the end of the trip. They left some lovely fresh food for us and the garden was beautiful to sit out in. It was about a 20 minute walk to the beach and 5 minute walk from the main area in Paestum. Would recommend this place if you want a whole space to yourselves and a nice garden to sit in. The food in Paestum was incredible and the Buffalo farm is well worth a visit.
