The apartment location is unbeatable. 5 min pleasant walk to the incredible Paestum archeological site. 15 min walk to the sandy beach. The apartment itself is located in the historical building (built in 1800) and has 3 rooms with 3 separate bathrooms. A patio outside is perfect to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Also, the Barlotti buffalo farm is highly recommended for a visit (breakfast or lunch possible). Only 5-7 min walk and you can taste a mind blowing mozzarella di buffalo and all possible variations of it (nice cheese shop and a small excursion are available too). Don’t miss the ricotta pear cake! Our apartment hosts were very kind and we can highly recommend this place for anyone interested to discover Paestum.

N/A

It was just a small room but immaculate and modern. There was, however, a large communal area. But, as we were the only guests, it was quite cold in February The ladies who greeted us could not have been kinder. They even did the ordering for a pizza delivery and gave us 2 numbers for taxis. The visit was too short

It was a long hike from the train station, especially with a suitcase There were no restuarants nearby other than 1 closed one. But it was February The scavi was a few feet away but the entrance/exit was not. This was not a huge issue Although a B&B there was no breakfast, again, due to the month. This was problematic as there were no shops either

Location was fantastic. Just behind the archaeological park, which was 10 minutes. Simona the host was very kind and helpful

It was difficult to get a taxi from the train station to the place. Walking distance is about 900 metres. So, keep that in mind if you are arriving by train.

Wonderful location for visiting Paestum and very close to the excavation site. Very welcoming hosts, right down to gifting my grandson the kumquat that he offered to buy from their plant! Gorgeously decorated premises.

Only complaint had nothing to do with the owners or house. All the restaurants seem to close after the day tourists leave and we were starving by the time we found the one that was open.

Casa Franco is the perfect place to stay when visiting the magnificent Paestum temples. It is exceptionally comfortable, clean and beautifully appointed. The hospitality extended to us was far more than could be expected. I am so grateful for everything the hosts did for us particularly with such little notice.

An exceptional location minutes from the Paestum archaeological park.

The room was quite basic. No frills. A collection of inexpensive furniture in the room. Breakfast is not included, but at a B&B it usually is. Paid €10 for an omelette, salad, and coffee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paestum. Host Francesco was a huge part of that, and the Casa Franco facility is excellent. First, how to get there! Several reviewers have had a stab at explaining. This is what you need to know. Once on Via Nettuno, spot the Restaurante Nettuno (easy, since it is the only large building on the north side of the road, and has a huge sign just under the eaves). Turn into the parking lot for the restaurant (there is a road-side sign at the entry). Go to the south-west corner of the parking lot. There you will see a lane leading through a gate, with three signs including a sign for a b&b. The Casa Franco is the first building on the north side of the lane, about 30m past the gate, and you want the first doorway in that building (at the eastern end). Easy. Note, the only sign at the entry to confirm you are at a b&b, at the time of our visit, was a booking.com rating sign saying "9.7". O.K., with that out of the way - everything was excellent. Francesco was very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was outstanding in presentation and choice. The building is to a very high standard in all respects, including the size and comfort of both room and bathroom and the common area. Very well appointed and decorated throughout, which makes it feel special. Francesco has assembled an outstanding selection of pamphlets, maps and guide books for all the things of interest in the area. We borrowed a book. But the 'special' has to be the location literally on the heritage site. You find yourself living amongst the history, and the access is easy. Believe it or not, there is an exit from the ruins about 100m from the b&b. We also walked to the beach, and on another day after taking the train to Agropoli chose to walk back to enjoy the region. Oh, yes, if you arrive by train, walk straight west from the station through the Roman wall arch and through the ancient city to get to Casa Franco.

The directions could have been more clear. The property lacked signage. Perhaps for zoning reasons? Regardless, I provide clear directions above. Everything else was excellent.

Very nice, cozy and comfortable room. B&B is very close to Parco Archeologico. It took us approx. 15 minutes walk to the beach. Paestum is very quiet and adorable, I wish we stayed for longer.

Simona is an excellent hostess! She went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. She makes a wonderful breakfast too. I am so grateful to her! I would definitely come stay again.

Very helpful staff! The building must have been very recently renovated, it was so immaculate. And Paestum is one for the most beautiful places we've been. Convenient to the entrance to the Archeological Park.

Location is a little far from most of the restaurants, but still walkable.
