Small family-run garden hotel near the Greek temples of Paestum, Cilento coast, Campania
5.03 reviewsThe Esplanade Boutique Hotel is a small garden hotel at Paestum, on the Cilento coast, where weddings are held in the garden, by the pool or in the salons with in-house catering.
The Esplanade Boutique Hotel is the founding house of the Pagano family, restored in 1980 at Paestum on the Cilento coast. It is a small garden hotel among the umbrella pines that fringe the beach, a short walk from the Greek temples. A grand piano stands in the lobby, hand-painted ceramics from Vietri sul Mare run through the interiors, and the rooms open onto the garden and the pool.
Weddings are held in the garden or beside the pool, with receptions in the salons, the chinoiserie dining room or outdoors. The hotel is a working house rather than a private villa, yet small enough for a wedding party to take much of it, and the event spaces, garden and pool are set aside for the day. Catering is in-house, built on the cooking of the Cilento and produce from the family's own estate. The house has hosted weddings for over forty years. Naples Airport is about an hour and a quarter away by road.

In 1980 Giuseppe Pagano and his wife Giusy restored this small hotel at Paestum into a house with the feel of a private villa and the service of a fine hotel. A grand piano stands in the lobby and the interiors are dressed in hand-painted ceramics from Vietri sul Mare. It has since become the root of a wider family hospitality business on the Cilento coast.

The garden runs in many shades down to the pool, and the salons look out over the water. Couples marry in the garden or by the pool, then move to the salons, the chinoiserie dining room or back outside for dinner. The house has held weddings for more than forty years.

A few kilometres inland, the Paganos farm the organic San Salvatore 1988 estate, with vineyards, olive groves, a dairy and a herd of more than 750 water buffalo. Wine, olive oil and mozzarella from the estate feed the hotel's kitchen, and the sister Savoy is home to the Michelin-starred Tre Olivi.

The Esplanade is at Paestum, on the Cilento coast in the south of Campania, among the umbrella pines that line the beach. The Greek temples of Paestum, among the best preserved in the world, are a short walk away; Salerno is about forty minutes, and Naples and its airport around an hour and a quarter. It is a quieter, wilder coast than the Amalfi over the headland, and all the more romantic for it.

On July 2nd, we were at this hotel for a wedding. We were very satisfied with everything. The cleanliness, the organization, the quality from the appetizer to the dessert, the spaces, the availability and kindness of the staff, led impeccably by Costantino. Truly well done, from me who is writing, because I am not used to giving them out in profusion. We hope to return.
