The sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, bays and inlets characteristic of the Cilento coastline border the delightful grounds of Hotel L'Approdo, which is located on the edge of the National Marine Park Punta Licosa. Exterior and interior whitewashed walls are adorned by lashings of vegetation and bougainvillea, and there is extensive seating under the shady terraced roof from where you can watch the sun setting over the fishing boats returning home to the small harbour that lies in front of the hotel. Local amenities, which include the supermarket (300m away), can be found in the nearby picturesque fishing village of San Marco di Castellabate. In addition to the wonderful walking in the surrounding areas, there is a horse riding school nearby and it is also possible to rent a small boat from Punta Licosa harbour. For a more active holiday, you are ideally placed for exploring Cilento's ancient sights, or take advantage of the range of sporting activities available at the hotel. The hotel features both rooms and apartments: both are attractively decorated in a traditional Mediterranean style with neutral walls and colourful furnishings, and some with terraces that have breathtaking views over the Gulf of Salerno.
