Hotel Seven Residence, Palinuro

This attractive three-star hotel in Salerno province is located on the breathtaking southern Italian coast of Cilento not far from Arco Naturale.

A shuttle bus runs between the hotel and the centre of town, while the beautiful sandy beaches of Arco Naturale and Marinella can be found just under a kilometre away from the hotel.
