Il Granaio dei Casabella

Everything about our stay was perfect! It was such a peaceful place to spend a few days checking out Paestum. It’s walkable to all restaurants and ruins. The staff was sweet, helpful and generous with their time. They gave us wonderful recommendations for dinner. It was a joy staying here!

When we arrived, the hotel looked shut up for the season. There were electronic gates firmly closed to all entrances. However, on pushing an intercom, they slide open and we were greeted by a very friendly lady. The hotel has a rustic charm and is very peaceful with pleasant gardens full of lime trees. Our room over looked the garden and was large and had a similar rustic charm to the hotel public areas. Its located about 15 minutes walk from the temple complex entrance. We had a glass enclosed terrace which made the room even larger. Unfortunately, birds kept crashing into the glass which made us jump! They left their dusty imprints over the windows. The beds were terrible, like sleeping on concrete and the pillows were like bricks. Woke up each morning aching and exhausted. The bathroom was large and there was plenty of hot water, however the heater made a whining noise all night long. The toiletries were sparse (bring your own) and the shower gel dispenser in the cubicle was down to its last dregs. Thought it might have been filled for new guests? The shower was tiny. Anyone with a fuller figure would not have been able to use it. The shower head was great but with no room to move to lather, it was awkward. Towels were small but okay. Breakfast was pastry heavy with all manner of sweet rolls, buns and cakes, very little in the more traditional breakfast fare. There was yoghurt and juices (fresh) but they were never replenished so if you were later for breakfast there were dregs or nothing. Suppose if one asked, they'd have been refilled. At least the cappuccinos were made fresh and limitless - if only they'd have been hotter. There are plenty of restaurants near by and closer to the temples but not all are open evening day/evening.

Large comfortable room with small view of temple. Very friendly staff. Large breakfast in lovely room overlooking garden. Close to many restaurants. Ten-minute walk from train station. Parking on site.

Beautiful building, beautiful setting, walking distance to Paestum, lovely staff. I’d definitely recommend one of the rooms on the 2nd floor with a view of the garden. Our room even had a glassed in patio. Restaurant closed in July 2021, many others a short walk away. If you can manage to reserve Paestum online do it! There is an entry very close to the hotel, if you have to go to the ticket office the walk is much longer.

Amazing nice place, quit, close to the temples and restaurants. Friendly staff, great breakfast, rooms with enough space, overall very nice.

This is a very charming property and a very convenient location for anyone planning to visit Paestum's archeological park.
