What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Less than a kilometer away, Tenuta Duca Marigliano offers upscale digs on a verdant estate that once belonged to a 19th-century duke.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Porta Aurea sits directly across the street, and Paestum's ancient Greek temples are an easy walk away.
The rooms
Rooms in the manor and former farmhands' quarters retain original barrel vaults and bare stone walls.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A chlorine-free plunge pool sits on a timber deck in the citrus grove, and the spa houses a Finnish sauna.
Restaurant
Casa Coloni Ristorante
Tables sit under a thatched timber pergola on the garden patio, serving regional Campanian dishes and local wines.
How it began

Duke Marigliano founded the hunting grounds in 1882. In 2010, the Paolino family bought the derelict estate and spent six years restoring it.
