Villaggio Hotel Cala di Luna

“Truly lovely - davvero bellissimo! ”

We visited this hotel in August 2019 for a week with our two daughters of 2 and 4, and I can truly say that it was a pleasure and an island of quiet in the midst of the busy Italian summer. Lovely and very spacey cottages, cleaned and tidied every day, well-equipped kitchen and great location close to the beach and the old town. There is also entertainment for small kids but in moderate amounts - some activities in the morning and afternoon, and ‘baby dance’ before dinner, facilitated by two very sweet staff. That means that it is relaxing and without loud music during the day, so mom and dad can actually relax as well! Breakfast and dinner also delicious, with just a minor suggestion to make breakfast a bit more continental (overnight oats and some eggs would be nice!). Big thanks to the staff and lovely manager Stefania, who was always available and accommodating and a true Italian host. Posto graziosissimo e piacevole, perfetto per famiglie con bambini. Abbiamo trascorso una settimana di relax in uno dei bungalow in muratura con le nostre bimbe di due e quattro anni, alloggio comodissimo e riassettato giornalmente. L’animazione è perfetta per bambini, ci sono attività durante la mattina e il pomeriggio e poi la baby dance prima di cena, il che vuol dire che nel villaggio c’è una fantastica quiete nel mezzo della movida del Cilento e ci si rilassa totalmente. Anche i pasti ottimi, cucina tipica preparata giornalmente dallo chef. Un grazie speciale a tutto lo staff e alla fantastica Stefania, che davvero non fa mancare niente agli ospiti ed è affabile e squisita nei modi. Arrivederci a presto!

“The real paradice”

We visited the beautiful village of Cala Di Luna in September of 2013. The owners made us so welcome and the accommodation was outstanding.

We visited the beautiful village of Cala Di Luna in September of 2013. The owners made us so welcome and the accommodation was outstanding. The bungalows are set in a magnificent old olive grove with many of the trees being over 200 years old. This was one of the most relaxing holidays we've had and we wish we could have stayed longer. The town and coastline of Marina di Camerota is beautiful. We took a boat trip from the harbour and were dropped off at a beautiful beach where we could have a meal and drink or just swim in the crystal clear sea. We were collected later and taken back to the town or we could have walked back along the dramatic coastline. Sorrento and the Amalfi coast are good but Marina di Camerota is so much more relaxing and beautiful. Cala di Luna is the real paradice - we'll definitely go back as soon as possible.

“Beware of the way to the beach”

As a whole the resort is very nice. The accommodation is in small bungalows with a small patio and equipped kitchenet (in the patio!). They are nicely located and surrounded by trees. As the resort is uphill it is always ventilated and cool. They should definitely equip the patio with some sun chairs. From the resort is possible to reach the coast, beach, and village by about 20-30 minutes walk BUT the way is not very good. The first half way was ok (in the shadow) until it was possible to cross the neighbour village. Then the gate was locked and we had to walk in a street narrow with million curves, not sidewalk and under the sun. The second half we had to walk down some very narrow metal staircase in a land with trash and feces and then cross a parking lot. This said the beach was nice even though there were NO TOILETS or other hygienic service (only open shower). The restaurant only serves at dinner time. Dinner time is set at 9 o'clock and it won't start until everybody (every single guess staying in the resort) is sitting at their table. This was extremely inconvenient for us, used to have dinner earlier and with children. They were very strict and lack of flexibility (they would not provide fruit even if we were ready to pay extra for it). We generally did not enjoyed/liked their food. There is a lack of entertainment for adults (which is not necessarily a bad thing) and only two girls look after children during few hours a day. I found them very unprofessional and unprepared even if they were nice and kind with the children (one left the children to shop on the beach, they showed a bad quality pirate version of a movie). I also did not appreciated that that got the permission to take pictures of the children on the ground that they would make a dvd with photos for the guest to buy, but then this never happened. About internet connection: even though we got the password to access it did not work.

I was supposed to stay here for five nights from 31st may to 5th June hoping for a quiet relaxing few days in an Italian fishing village. I will start by saying that the location is lovely, a short walk to the beach and to the local village centre and that the accommodation that we were shown to was well maintained, clean and set amongst olive trees - all good so far! we soon started hearing loud music however and went to explore, we went to the beach and discovered that there was a large music festival being held (meeting de la mare) over the Italian republic day (bank holiday) weekend and that acts would be on not only until very late at night but also during the day. I was very disappointed that we had not been contacted by the owners to make us aware of this large music festival right on our doorstep and spoke to the lady in charge. after initially getting off on a bad footing (partly I think due to the language barrier) we managed to communicate that we would not be staying and our thoughts about not being told about the festival. The lady allowed us to leave without any charge due to the issue we had and offered to help us find somewhere else although we had already found somewhere. If I visit this area again I would give this place another go just not on festival weekend!
