Il Granaio dei Casabella

just spent a night here recently -- charming owners and staff -- al helpful and patient -- great value -- especially room 106 with a view to one of the paestum temples -- would highly recommend -- hearty and home-made breakfast.......

We stayed 2 nights at this charming hotel, well-located for touring the ancient ruins of Paestum, a short walk away to the entrance and museum. The hotel is a former barn turned into a lovely hotel, filled with interesting antiques from its past. The staff were outstanding and extremely helpful in making suggestions for local activities. Breakfast was a huge buffet with coffee made for us individually. Excellent! Our room was spacious, with a view of the the ruins. I had been expecting to see the temples well-lit from my window, but do know that they are are some distance away, it???s not as if you???re seeing it close up. We loved touring the ruins of Paestum and highly recommend seeing the museum as well. We also had a fantastic lunch at Barlotti Buffalo farm, recommended by the lovely staff at the hotel), and though we didn???t do a paid tour, we were allowed to walk around and look at the animals closeup. It was clearly offseason here in mid-October, as the hotel was practically empty when we arrived, which felt a bit odd at first. reason for the 4* We visited in mid-October, so out of high season, and it was pretty empty when we arrived, so it felt a bit odd. Fortunately, the lovely staff made us feel very welcome and, later, a few more people arrived, so it didn???t feel so strange. We were very comfortable here and the reason for the 4* instead of 5* is that the bed was hard and not very comfortable.

The property is lovely, authentic. The staff and kind owner go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. The room we had was large and so was bathroom. Breakfast was really nice and again staff was wonderful. Location across the street from the temples which was perfect.
