Places to Stay & Eat in Felitto & Cilento
B&B Al Vicolo Cilento
One of the only places to stay in the historic center of Felitto, the gateway to Cilento and the Vallo di Diano National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage site with natural reserves and the ancient Greek town of Paestum. You can hike, bike, and kayak here.
Their B&B is awesome! Alessandro can arrange visits to local attractions. While there, you must dine at Il Rustico. Check out the B&B’s 107 Excellent and 1 Good reviews on TripAdvisor — no Average or Poor reviews!

Agriturismo Difesa Del Principe
This agriturismo is located in the rural area with views of Felitto. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. Options include room only ($26/person), bed & breakfast ($32/person), half board ($56/person), or full board ($67/person). I recommend bed & breakfast + dinner at Il Rustico. Lunch can be enjoyed while exploring the region.
It’s basically a B&B for Italians wanting countryside time. During our 2016 stay, basic Italian was needed to communicate with the owners. It’s a working farm — we enjoyed a personal winery tour (in Italian).
La Roccia Casa Vacanze
I will be checking out this B&B in Felitto on my first visit in 2023. I’ve chatted with the host, Carmine, and will have more details soon.
