Palazzo Belmonte lies down a windy road in the charming Cilento coast town of Santa Maria di Castellabate. For part of the year, it's the home of Angelo Granito Pignatelli, the 13th Prince of Belmonte. However, thanks to his excellent taste and natural hospitality, it's also a hotel from April to November; an antiques-filled, sun-drenched hideaway with friendly, English-speaking staff and five acres of manicured gardens. What is your opinion of this amazing coastal hotel?
