Lovely historical building with infinity pool

This is a very charming place with an incredible infinity pool overlooking a beautiful vista. The property itself is from the 17th century (apparently, still in the same family!), and with that comes incredible history, as evident in the furnishings, books, and antiques. While the setting is glorious, staff friendly, and breakfast good, the beds themselves were not particularly comfortable, the air conditioning insufficient (it was very hot when we visited), and the old furnishings were not my taste (I prefer modern chic furnishings combined with funky old architecture-this is not that kind of place.) But I will definitely stay here again when visiting relatives nearby (the infinity pool alone makes it worth it!) Word of caution: there is plenty of free parking nearby; do not attempt to drive down the very steep driveway in front of the property. :-)

Peace, quiet and relaxation

Beautiful place to stay. We stayed at the end of October, but I would think visiting in summer would be even nicer. If you are after relaxation and peace & quiet this is a great place to come. The village itself is very very quiet - there’s really not much going on at all. The recommended local restaurant was good.

A privileged stay

Domus Laeta is a 17C beautiful hill village palace, owned and superbly maintained by the same family who originally built it. It is a fascinating stone building where many old features (pretty internal courtyards, terraces with views down to the plain below and beyond to the Amalfi coast and its stunning sunsets etc.) have been preserved. While ancient ways of life have been respected, modern comforts and amenities have not been compromised and the small infinity pool in pleasant gardens is stunningly sited. Guingano, the village where it is situated, is a friendly place with a lovely little restaurant, La Torretta, which serves delicious suppers every day. Hillside walking is possible from the village.

Aesthetically amazing place. Interiors and setting

Yes the ceiling is low in this room and yes the bed is super firm. The bathroom is great and the veranda outside the door gorgeous. Proprietors show this space to all but we had it to ourselves. This place appeals to the artist, the romantic, the historian...,

Weekend getaway.

Beautiful location, and friendly staff. We had a bottom floor room, that seemed a bit dusty. But this is to be expected with an older hotel. We only stayed one night.

Exquisite Italian experience

This was one of my most wonderful traveling experiences; it is the dreamed italian vacation (up on the mountains in a tiny town, but close enough to the beach. Out in the country side (campaña) in a small XVII century palace with fine decoration taste.

A nice two nights stay but breakfast can be better

Spent two nights at this lovely 16th century house, ran by Camilia and her family. Very nice and polite lady who was helpful. House is beautiful and keeps original features including furniture. Pool is nice with not many people around.

Breakfast can be improved as choices are limited, with no hot choice like scrambled egg available, a disappointment although coffee was very tasty.

The town is very small, with only one restaurant available. We had dinner and lunch there and they were both satisfactory.

Ein richtiges Paradies! Freundliches Personal, wir wurden super empfangen, es gab sogar eine Führung durch diese wunderschöne Villa! Sehr schön gelegen, mit fantastischer Weitsicht, wenige Zimmer - sehr ruhig! Wunderschöner Pool vorhanden - einfach hervorragend! Frühstück könnte man verbessern (eher wenig Auwahl). Dieses Hotel weiss, wie man Gäste empfangt! Wir kommen wieder!

Außen hui, innen pfui.
Sehr schöner Pool und Außenanlagen.
Das Zimmer war katastrophal. Dreckig, gebrauchte Duschgels, aber das schlimmste war ein kloakenähnlich riechender Abfluss im Bad.
Die Kinder der Gastgeber lärmten direkt vor dem Fenster/Tür ab 7.30 und abends bis 22 Uhr. Nur mit lautem Fernseher zu ertragen.
Definitiv alles außer Erholung.

Helt enestående overnatningssted.

En fantastisk lille perle ikke langt fra Agropoli. En charmerende ombygget rigmandsvilla der nu fungerer som bed'n breakfast. Der er en dejlig swimmingpool i den smukke have, der har udsigt over dalen. Vi følte os meget velkomne!

Perfect view in a small castle

Very nice hotel in a beautiful village. Directly on the mountains with perfect view to the valley. Old small castle, which gives you the feeling to be a principe. Village is nice with one small typical restaurant.

Beauté et sérénité

L'hôtel est un palais du 17e siècle \"dans son jus\". Le bâtiment est magnifique, c'est un lieu tellurique dans un village à flanc de montagne où il règne une ambiance rare. Certaines chambres ont une vue superbe sur la plaine et la mer au loin, d'autres sont à l'intérieur de la cour, toutes ont une \"âme\". La piscine est alimentée par l'eau de source. Les salons, la bibliothèque, le parc sont ouverts et accessibles. Le petit déjeuner est savoureux avec des produits locaux de qualité. Un lieu de paix et de beauté.

Un'occasione mancata

Polvere e ragnatele dappertutto, scarsa pulizia in camera e colazione con tovaglie sporche e pochissima scelta di cibo. Bella e affascinante la struttura, ma tenuta molto male. Gentili e disponibili i proprietari.

Dimora storica a due passi dal mare

Location ideale per un soggiorno romantico, a due passi dal mare ma in perfetta tranquillità in una dimora storica. Bellissima piscina e giardino.

Bello e accogliente

Il palazzo è molto bello, arredato e tenuto con gusto, con uno splendido giardino e una vista affascinante. Le camere sono suggestive e comode; la nostra era un po' rumorosa perché si affacciava sulla piscina, ma in orari comunque innocui.
IL servizio è corretto e gentile. A nostro parere si potrebbe (per un alloggio di questo tenore)curare maggiormente la prima colazione nella qualità degli affettati e delle brioches, ma sono dettagli.
I dintorni sono come ci si immagina: perle impagabili (Paestum, dolci colline con uliveti...) accanto a caos urbanistico in certe zone. Il paesino di Giungano è comunque carino e ben tenuto. Nel complesso un luogo di notevole qualità, che suscita fiducia nelle possibilità di sviluppo e di capacità di utilizzo delle risorse nel nostro meridione.
