From the fascinating itineraries of the 18th-century Grand Tour to the present day, Hotel Scapolatiello in Cava de’ Terreni, which lies in a beautiful green valley above the Amalfi Coast, has preserved the traditions of the family that down the generations has contributed to its enhancement.
The hotel, located in the old medieval village of Cava de' Tirreni and just 10 minutes by car from the motorway exit, was built in 1821 not far from the Benedictine Abbey that dates back to 1011. Guests are won over by its delicious cuisine, family atmosphere, and a landscape so relaxing and fascinating that it has attracted travellers and artists since the 1800s. Today at the property’s helm the father and son team Cesare and Giuseppe Scapolatiello are the fifth and sixth generations of the family, and with true passion and deep commitment they continue to write the history of this wonderful establishment.

The hotel's strategic position makes it possible to easily visit Pompeii and Herculaneum, to admire the tradition of Vietri’s ceramics, to relax in the sun of Amalfi, or to discover the nature and the many trails of the Monti Lattari Park, all this while enjoying the tranquility and relaxation of a unique structure with many services. Set in a park of over 4,000 sqm with panoramic terraces directly overlooking the Lattari Mountains, the nearby Benedictine Abbey of Cava de' Tirreni, is a place where history and serenity come together in harmony, a medieval village where time seems to stand still and which is just waiting to be explored.
Hotel Scapolatiello is also located on the legendary Alta Via dei Lattari trail, which is almost 90 kilometres long and crosses the Lattari Mountains from Cava de’ Tirreni to Punta Campanella, the headland that looks across the Medieterrean waters to the island of Capri. This first section of the trail leads to the Sanctuary of the Madonna Avvocata sopra Maiori located at an altitude of almost 1,000 metres asl and overlooking the Amalfi Coast. This is a wonderful experience for both experienced trekkers and for professional team building. In addition, Hotel Scapolatiello immerses its guests in an ambience of peace and harmony with yoga at sunset, embraced by the magic of the centuries-old park while the hotel’s genuine Mediterranean cuisine is an introduction to the best of traditional Italian flavours.
