Tenuta Duca Marigliano Boutique Hotel
Countryside estate with genuine antique bones — stone portals, high ceilings, exposed beams — dressed in calm, contemporary interiors. No resort buzz, no crowds. Intimate and genuinely quiet.
Book a room With Balcony or Superior for garden views — the Attic room has only a skylight, no proper window, and is accessed via stairs without elevator
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide selection with a Michelin-cited restaurant (Casa Coloni) on site. Closest upscale property to the Paestum temples — a 7-minute walk through olive groves. Only 19 rooms total, so service is unusually personal for the category.
A 19-room boutique hotel built on a restored 1882 ducal hunting estate, sitting just 200 metres from the UNESCO-listed Greek temples of Paestum. Two 19th-century stone buildings — Casa Padronale and Casa Coloni — divide the property between guest rooms and a Michelin-noted restaurant. The Paolino family runs the place themselves, and it shows in the attention to detail: exposed barrel vaults, antique citrus trees, a resident chef who ferments his own condiments.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Attic
The smallest room in the house, tucked under the original roof on the second floor. Exposed beams and a small skylight give it character, but note: there's no proper window and no elevator access — stairs only. Good for couples who spend most of their time out exploring.
Double · 18 sqm
Deluxe
A step up from the Attic with 5 extra square metres and better natural light. Blends the estate's antique architecture with clean contemporary furnishings — white walls, earthy tiles, restrained design. Works well for couples wanting comfort without paying for a garden view.
Double · 23 sqm
Garden View
Faces the estate gardens — Mediterranean citrus trees, old holm oak, flowering pergolas. A good middle-ground room: not the largest, but the view out makes the space feel open. Elevator accessible.
Double · 20 sqm
Superior
The largest standard room at 25 sqm, with wide spaces that let the antique atmosphere breathe. Has a desk, small armchair, and garden views. Private bathroom with shower and bidet. Cot available on request — works for couples with a young child.
Double · 25 sqmWith Balcony
The most-requested room type based on guest feedback. Same size as Deluxe but with a private balcony overlooking the estate gardens. The morning view over the Cilento countryside is the main event. Several guests say it's worth the upgrade.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Bikes available on request with a supplement. The flat terrain around Paestum and the nearby Cilento coast makes for easy cycling, including to the archaeological site.
The surrounding Cilento area is popular for hiking. Hotel can advise on routes and arrange guided hikes into the national park.
Guided excursions to nearby buffalo mozzarella producers. The Cilento plain is one of the heartlands of mozzarella di bufala campana DOP — farms are close and visits can be arranged through the hotel.
Hotel arranges visits to local wineries in the Cilento DOC zone. Ask at reception for current options and scheduling.
Hands-on cooking lessons focused on traditional Cilentano dishes prepared with organic vegetables from the estate garden. Classes end with a tasting of what you cooked, paired with a local wine.
The three UNESCO-listed Greek temples (Hera, Neptune, Athena) are 200 metres away on foot — about a 7-minute walk from the hotel entrance. The National Archaeological Museum of Paestum is 8 minutes. No transport needed.
Guided tasting routes led by the hotel's wine expert. Local Cilento and Campania labels (Aglianico, Falanghina, etc.) paired with estate-sourced meats, cheeses and charcuterie. The wine cellar is a converted 19th-century stone bread oven — worth seeing regardless.
