Il Cannito Capaccio - Paestum Map

Il Cannito country residence occupies two finely restored stone buildings immersed in the Mediterranean countryside of Capaccio, just a few kilometers away from the archeological site of Paestum and the beaches of Cilento. Each and every corner of the residence, restored and renovated according to the latest principals of bio-architecture, reveals both the owner's interest in the area's rural traditions and his passion for contemporary art.

At Il Cannito, both communal areas and bedrooms are characterized by a pleasing combination of the buildings' original architectural features and cutting-edge interior design. Rooms are filled with the light flooding in via the floor-to-ceiling windows; designed so as to eliminate the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space. In all four bedrooms, LCD televisions, internet connectivity and hydromassage baths guarantee maximum, hotel-style comfort.

In the summer season, Il Cannito's panoramic terrace transforms in to a fabulous open air dining room in which to savor the very best of the region's cuisine, accompanied by an excellent selection of local wines. The liqueurs produced by Il Cannito's farm provide the perfect after-dinner drink. Il Cannito has a number of versatile indoor function rooms, suitable for business meetings, gourmet events and even cooking classes.

During the day, guests might easily be found relaxing on the small, sun kissed terraces in the garden or lingering by the designer swimming pool, from where gorgeous views of Peastum's Valley of Temples and, in the distance, the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri can be seen. For those eager to take a dip in the crystal clear sea of Cilento, Il Cannito's private beach is a short, five minute drive away from the hotel.

Three good reasons

1. Contemporary design in the countryside of Paestum.
2. Swimming pool with view of the Valley of Temples.
3. The jams and liqueurs produced on Il Cannito's farm.
