A once luxury hotel that is now a bit jaded.
Posted Aug. 31, 2018 on Expedia
Pros: Location.
Cons: It needs money spent on it to raise it to a standard that would now be considered ‘luxury’ and the prices charged should be reduced in the meantime.
Location: A great place from which to visit Agropoli, Paestum, Vietri and Castellabate. Santa Maria itself is a bustling village, beside the sea.
This hotel is very well located on the sea shore near the very heart of Santa Maria Di Castellabate, Campania. It looks nice, though the rooms are not quite as nice as shown in the pictures on its website. It is no longer a ‘luxury’ hotel. The bed linen, headrest, cushions, etc, are tired and well-past their ‘best by’ dates. They need to be replaced. The fridge in our room was very noisy at night. The bathroom had no extractor fan or air-conditioning. Stepping out of the shower was like stepping into a sauna, given the temperatures typical of Italy in August. The safe was too small for a mini iPad. The breakfast on offer was spartan for a ‘luxury’ hotel.
My feeling is that this is a reasonably good hotel, but the prices charged are too much for what is on offer.

Lovely place to stay
Posted Jul. 19, 2015 on ExpediaHad a super break here. Great to come out of the hotel and basically get straight into the sea. The dinners on the deck are fabulous and everyone was very friendly and helpful!

This Hotel has 5 Star standard.

Pros: I think that my summery above covers our opinion well, so feel no necessity to repeat this.
Cons: Overall there is little that could be done as it is what it is, a little gem.
Location: There are 3 Blue Flag beaches, all next or a few meters away from the Hotel. Very easy to get to Pestum, and Acropoli both worth a visit.
Villa Sirio, is run by people who have a passion for Food, Wine and Service. The selection of local wine is a true collection and is the hobby of the owners. Their Menu is all built around Fresh local produce and has a good range of both Fish and meat to chose from. The rooms are clean and a good size, recommend to take a Balcony room and spend time in the evening with a bottle of wine sat listening to the sea. My wife and I have now been 4 times to this little gem and are planning our next visit. Just one word by way of advice, in Italy August is the national Holliday month, best to chose another time as Castelabati is very busy and beach streets and other facility's are stretched.

Nice stay for a wedding weekend away
Posted May 2, 2014 on HotelsWe were staying in the town for a family wedding. We found the hotel good value for the room with a fairly typical buffet breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was nicely decorated, but lacked a decent chair to sit on other than the bed. Bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was a good size with a good size shower. Maid service was every day, but some areas of room had cleanliness issues such as behind chest of drawers (when pulled out to use for ironing) and behind bathroom door. As this is a hotel that wedding guests would be staying in, the use of an ironing board would be a great help. We had lunch in the restaurant on the day we arrived, it was very nice food but worked out expensive. Altogether we would stay here again, it has a great location, and lovely views.

A beautiful place in the wrong period
Posted Aug. 29, 2013 on Expedia
Pros: The place and the view are highly recommendable The staff
Cons: Choices at breakfast More lights in the rooms
Location: Visit the village of Castellabate, enjoy the beach and the sunset
the staff of the hotel is nice, supportive and cooperative, unfortunately during the mid August week nobody can cope with the crowd and the limited politeness of the other guests. The room are not very big, water sometimes misses and lights are limited but all other aspects are very positive.
The cooperative approach of the hotel staff strongly support the guests.

Prime position,but not easy to access
Posted Oct. 7, 2011 on ExpediaVilla Sirio is located in a prime position by the sea front in Santa Maria di Castellabate, but the one way road system and narrow streets did not make for easy access. Parking spaces are also somewhat limited around the hotel and must be a problem in high season.
The hotel is quite small, with bright, recently updated decor and helpful staff. The rooms on the sea front have balconies, which have rewarding views to enhance your stay. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed.
We did not eat in the restaurant because it was very heavily biased to seafood (which I don't like) and quite pricey. Breakfasts were fairly basic, but adequate.
The hotel is well situated to explore the town and is close to a small, nice, sandy beach. The hotel has a hot tub and small outdoor lounging area on the opposite side to the sea.

Villa Serio - right next to the sea
Posted Jun. 25, 2011 on HotelsWe only spent one night at the hotel and with it being slightly out of season it was difficult to judge whether the hotel would really have been for us if we had wanted to stay longer. For instance we had to ask for the air conditioning to be turned on as it was so hot in the room when we arrived. When it was turned on it appeared to be set to a high temperature so it took ages to cool off. That said everything else about the hotel was satisfactory. The staff were very good and I appreciated the fact that one of the family (one of the son's?) spoke very good english and was very helpful in pointing out the basic layout of the hotel/area and facilties.

La camera era piccolissima e molto spartana; la TV non funzionava (segnale scarso), nulla di particolare. Prezzo altissimo!!!!

La sua camera è di circa 20mq, con una toilette all'avanguardia con doccia jacuzzi. Ci auguriamo di riaverla ancora una volta sperando che Lei scelga in anticipo le camere più grandi. Grazie per averci informato
