Latest reviews on Cilento Coast's beaches

Costa del mito
6 Lara Valentina Rossi

We were initially worried about our holiday due to the numerous negative reviews. The village itself is a bit outdated and the accommodations are old-fashioned, but they are still functional. The bungalows have ceiling fans, although we didn't need to use them much because the evenings were usually cool. The resort is built on terraces that slope down to the sea, providing a beautiful panoramic view. However, it may be uncomfortable for elderly individuals and families with small children in strollers. The beach has both a sandy area, which we didn't particularly like, and a lovely pebble side. Sea shoes are necessary! They also have a designated beach area for dogs. Once you pass the cliff, the sea is absolutely wonderful, and the resort provides free kayaks for guests to use. The shuttle service is a bit outdated, but it is still very efficient. There are entertainment options for children and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Overall, it offers good value for money compared to other places in the area, but if you're looking for a top-notch resort, it's best to look elsewhere.

Spiaggia Della Tragara
8 Geraldo Fontana

Now the place looks nothing like the pictures in the reviews. The pathway has been revamped, and a man-made beach has been constructed with white and quite jagged rocks (wearing shoes is advised). The ocean remains stunning despite a large amount of seaweed washing up on the shore in the afternoon.

Agnone Beach
2 Marco Rossi Direttore Green Valley Retreat

We made a reservation for a table for two on August 15th, five days ago. We received notification of availability and price, and we accepted. However, instead of receiving a phone call, we were informed through WhatsApp that the table had been given to others who had booked before us. This lack of organization and incompetence from the managers left us without a place on the eve of mid-August. We should have questioned their practices the previous year when we were charged an illegal surcharge on our card payment. Despite this, Cilento remains a beautiful place, but some individuals should not be allowed to work with people. It would be beneficial if the authorities conducted more thorough checks, perhaps at the end of the evening.

Trentova bay beach

This sandy beach boasts excellent accessibility and offers the option to rent sun loungers and umbrellas at an affordable price. The crystal-clear sea stretches out for miles, inviting visitors to take a refreshing stroll. Bar Jamaica is a delightful discovery, serving delectable food and beverages, including a superb cappuccino. Numerous parking spots are available for your convenience.

I have been visiting the village for numerous years, being a TCI member for more than four decades. It is a serene and stunning location, surrounded by ancient olive trees, featuring a secluded beach, activities, different sports, trips, and outstanding food, all at unmatched rates. I highly suggest it!
