Myself and my bf stayed here for 5 nights, and we really enjoyed it. Food I we enjoyed breakfast each day with a wide selection of choices to choose from and ginseng coffee too, a firm favourite of ours! We had lunch here a few times also, the ravioli is really nice, burger ok, fish, nothing special but overall we liked it. It's definitely expensive, very much, so by the wine bottles, but for us, the food wasn't good enough that we wanted to try Ole restaurant, unfortunately. Drinks - we had many cocktails and drinks here and wine, many as night caps. The view outside at night is mesmerising. The tropical trees are lit up in colour, and it's honestly so beautiful that we just sat and watched this on repeat. Pool - we went once but we prefer the beach by choice but the pool is very nice, warm (bring your own towel) Room - bright, airy, large. The bed is super comfortable, it really is. Noise wise, hardly any. Fridge which is handy, mini bar too (payable, but I think water/soda was free) Hairdryer didn't work, no coffee machine, but I'd never go anywhere without my own dryer anyways, and coffee had to be got downstairs. The actual hotel itself is really beautiful, worth a stroll around. If you're looking for the toilets and your upstairs.. I honestly think the only ones are down the windy staircase and follow to your left.. a bit of a track from the lobby or bar, but I couldn't see any others. Location - if you're in Paestrum, you know it's a bit off the beaten track but there us enough to keep you going in the small town/hotel/beach club/temples for a few days. The hotel itself is very pleasant Spa-we had massages here and they were fab, we didn't stay for sauna/ etc but it all looked beautiful We did go to a little bar down the road towards the town which made homemade stonebaked pizzas, and Gianluca looked after us well Beach club- we walked to most days, although theres a shuttle, we loved this! Sun loungers, towels, umbrellas (all needed in the heat!!) Good service, food, pizzas are fab. Weddings- daily as far as i could see but it didn't bother us at all. I'm fact the fireworks were an added bonus to our trip. Antonio and Alfonso were great at looking after us on our stay, thank you to all staff, especially the cleaners who we literally never seen but kept everywhere including the rooms pristine. Thank you savoy!

“An Unexpected Gem in Paestum”

We traveled south of the Amalfi Coast for the first time to see the ancient ruins in Paestum. The ruins of Poseidonia feature extremely well preserved Greek temples to Poseidon and Hera.

We traveled south of the Amalfi Coast for the first time to see the ancient ruins in Paestum. The ruins of Poseidonia feature extremely well preserved Greek temples to Poseidon and Hera. Wanting to be close to the ruins, we picked the Savoy Hotel and Spa for its high rating and location. We were elated to arrive at such a special place; the extensive grounds are beautifully maintained, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the spa services were top-notch, and the breakfast was unmatched for quality and choice. My only complaint is to myself: why didn’t we book for a few days more? It is worth staying here even if not to see the ruins — a great place to unwind from a hectic vacation!

“Pleasant stay”

We booked this as it was advertised as Amalfi coast but it is not close to there at all.

We booked this as it was advertised as Amalfi coast but it is not close to there at all. We had a car so we were able to get around, did a boat trip from solerno, but that’s an hour away, went to pompeii too which again over hour away. I think the price is reflective of the location, it was good value, and it’s a good base to explore, but having a car was helpful. Not sure what public transport links are like. We went to the beach club a few times, really nice there but as guests you’re only allowed from row 3 back, which seemed a bit mean. The hotel pools weren’t very inviting, they were dark / black, due to the tiles I guess, but it wasn’t the blue pool you hope for at a hotel. We didn’t use the spa as it was “discounted” to €50 to visit, per person, again this was a shame and seems a bit unfair, surly at least 1 visit could be included in your stay! The hotel was clean and impressive otherwise, seems a beautiful venue for a wedding. We heard the music one evening from a wedding, but it didn’t keep us up and wasn’t unbearable. Breakfast was nice but service a bit slow, most of the wait staff didn’t really speak English so it made it hard to communicate what we wanted at breakfast and it was slow to come out. They seemed to give Italian speaking guests much more information on what was where on arrival, we were just told to sit, didn’t spot the bacon & eggs on the bar until day 2! Very pretty location for the breakfast though. We didn’t eat in the evenings there, but there’s a few places walking distance or short car drive that are very reasonable. We enjoyed our stay but hopefully the above points manage expectations.

We stayed for 5 nights and we had a really pleasant stay. The hotel was spotless clean. The grounds are fabulous and so well kept. The rooms were cleaned twice daily. The turndown service in the evening was a lovely touch with water by the bed, mat on the floor, slippers, fresh towels etc. Rooms had shampoo/conditioner, shower gel, mini fridge, hairdryer (the small one in the bathroom), air conditioning. The cleaning staff are exceptional. The staff on reception are also fantastic and were always so helpful. Breakfast was included for us and it was excellent. We looked forward to breakfast every day. Bacon, scrambled eggs, omelette, pancakes, fresh fruit, bread, croissants, selection of juices, etc. A brilliant selection for breakfast. The cappuccinos were a firm favourite of ours. I can't remember the male waiters name, I think it was Alfonso, but he was such a delight every day. Always remembered us and our orders. Very good at his job. We had dinner once in the hotel. While the dinner was ok, I would not recommend. It was expensive, service was slow, portions were small, very limited menu and there was no real atmosphere. This is what we did not enjoy about our stay, through no fault of the hotel, the area is very deserted. There are no bars/restaurants nearby. We struggled most days to find a place to eat. We used the hotel bicycles (thank god for them!!) to cycle elsewhere to try and find places to eat in the evenings. We visited beach club 93 across the road and spent 2 days by the pool/beach. This is a fabulous facility nearby and we really enjoyed it. We also got lunch there. Again, lunch was expensive but really good. Another downside is that the you have to get a taxi to the train station if you wish to travel elsewhere by train. This proves expensive as a taxi for 2 is €15. There is only 1 taxi in the area that would could tell. Make sure to book in advance as there won't be taxis at the train station. We used to what's app the driver. Great service too but we were going to the train station every day to travel the Amalfi Coast so this was costly. The hotel was advertised as on the Amalfi Coast when we booked but it is not. We had to get a train from Paestum to Salerno each day to then get another train or boat to where we were travelling to. This was all ok as the train system is fantastic but it just made days long with travel. We had seen in previous reviews about regular weddings. There were many weddings on during our stay but they always finished up early and didn't prove to be a nuisance to us once we were not in bed before 11/12pm. Overall, the hotel itself was lovely and the staff were exceptional but the location really let it down for us.
