What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Savoy’s design, by the architect Giampiero Panepinto, recalls ancient Greece as much as it does modern Italy, a conscious homage to the region’s temples.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Paestum’s Greek temples and archaeological park are a short drive away, while sandy beaches lie just beyond the pine grove.

The rooms
Rooms keep to an understated look, and many open onto balconies overlooking the gardens or pine forest.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 500-square-meter garden pool curves through lawns and tall palms, with turquoise ceramic finials lining the water.
The spa and gym
Holos Spa has three indoor dipping pools and stone hydrotherapy tubs, and the gym holds Technogym cardio machines.
At the table
Michelin-starred Tre Olivi serves Cilento cooking beneath a woven wood ceiling. Breakfast spreads across arched terraces overlooking the palms.
How it began
The local Pagano family built the property in 2001, drawing inspiration from Paestum's ancient temples dedicated to Hera.
