Palazzo Belmonte, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Palazzo Belmonte sits at the heart of the National Cilento Park, south of the Amalfi coast, adjoining Santa Maria di Castellabate but at the same time remaining delightfully isolated within five acres of beautiful gardens. Commission of Principe di Belmonte and Marquis of Castellabate, Palazzo Belmonte has been owned by the Granito Pignatelli family for over four hundred years. For centuries the Palace was a favourite hunting lodge for a succession of Kings of Spain and Italy who came to hunt wild boar and shoot quail on the impressive grounds surrounding the estate.
Principe di Belmonte, who currently lives in a private wing of the palazzo, has converted part of this unique building - without altering any of the original features - into beautiful, spacious suites/apartments. The new VILLA BELMONTE, hidden away in a quiet corner of the extensive gardens have views and balconies averlooking the sea.
For children
For children, cots and high chairs are pre-bookable, special meal arrangements are available and babysitting can be arranged.
Accommodation
The rooms are very bright and fresh - white tiles and linen give them a wonderfully cool feel whilst the carefully selected prints add a touch of elegance. All rooms are equipped with satellite television, mini bar, telephone and tea making facilities. The balcony or terrace has luxurious furniture, where you can relax and watch the setting sun. Some of the rooms interconnect with twin rooms at the rear of the building, making them perfect for families. The end rooms on each block are particularly spacious and can easily accommodate a third bed in the second bedroom. For a very special break, there is the option of a junior suite - a sea view room with its own sitting room.
PALAZZO BELMONTE: The original Palazzo is comprised of 22 suites/apartments, each with sitting room and some with balconies; all quarters are located within three wings of the beautiful courtyard.
EDOARDO'S HOUSE: The adjoining former overseer's house, located off the main courtyard, is very characteristic, while delightfully quaint in comparison to its historical neighbour.
VILLA BELMONTE: Discreetly located in a quiet corner of the gardens, this new addition to the estate offers all the comforts of modern facilities in an elegant, yet understated atmosphere. Many rooms overlook the sea and serene gardens, all cleverly connecting with a further room if required. Suites and single rooms are also available.
