Hotel Scapolatiello in Cava de' Tirreni

We spent Christmas with our 5-year old in this great little hotel hidden away from the busy town centre of Cava de Tirreni. The room isn't full luxury, a little dated, but it has a lot of personalities. The views from the hotel are stuning.
Staff members are super nice and very accommodating, nothing seem a bother.

Located behind it is a rather big (late 1300s) cathedral - Territorial Abbey of La Trinità della Cava. This is a "must-see" if you stay at the hotel. I was blown away by the interior of the church as it didn't seem to be much from the outside. It's a lot (a LOT) bigger on the inside. There are guide tours available at price of 3€ to see more than just a main church.

One thing to note is that, in case you decided to drive, it's quite a challenging journey. The road is small and windy, loads of blind corners, unless you're familiar with all the streets, or a seasoned Italian driver, I'd recommend to avoid it. There is a local bus (No. 61) that will take you from the hotel to Cava town centre. We had to organise daily taxi pick-up and drop-off from/to the hotel due to Christmas period. But was easy enough to do via WhatsApp messages.

You may also want to do a day trip in Pompei while youre here. It's easy to get to by train from the Cava station. And Salerno is only 2 stops away the other direction.

Very welcoming to pets. Exceptional staff

The views from this charming hotel and breathtaking, and the staff was lovely (Francesco was most helpful) and happy to help make our stay and experience memorable. The location itself is a little removed from restaurants and shops (and a little tricky to access with a car), but the quietude was most welcomed and it was easy enough to hire a car to take us into town

A beautiful location, romantic, idyllic, and perfectly Italian.

The entire property is unique and secluded among the hilltops. The food was excellent. Prepare for a bit of travel to get to the tourist locations but well worth it. Try the deli down the street for a little charcuterie in the afternoons. Love this hotel!!

A genuinely unique hotel. Peaceful and relaxing in the hills. A lovely laid back break but a great spot for exploring Pompeii and Amalfi coast.

Superb service-minded staff at the reception! We had big troubles with our rent car and I got tremendously helped by the staff. So greatful!

Location in the valley is so beautiful. Clean rooms. Nice air con. Breakfast was very good and service excellent. Peaceful pool area with a great view. Monitored parking area.

Mobile phone range very bad due the location. You have to use wifi.

Great stay here. Beautiful historic property and great staff. Breakfast was great - overlooking the hills. Great value restaurant also.

Very nice hotel with a beautiful view. Friendly staff and good service.

Although the hotel and its staff are very pleasant
The access path is quite poorly indicated and also very very narrow
Don't be afraid of damaging your car
