B&b Cilento Paestum

On a recent 6-week trip to Italy we found many great bed and breakfasts, places in wonderful locations with lovely furnishings, delicious breakfasts and helpful hosts. But when visiting Paestum we learned that the true test of a host comes during an emergency. After arriving at B&B Cilento I became quite sick and our host, Sergio, went into immediate action. He called the paramedics to come to the house, asked his cousin Toni to come and translate for us and then he went with us to the emergency clinic. He then got on his bicycle and rode off into the night to collect my prescriptions from the pharmacy while Toni went out to get us some dinner. In short, they couldn't have been more helpful and kind. I honestly don't know what we would have done without their help. And just for the record, Sergio's house is tastefully furnished and immaculately clean. Our room was quite large and the bed was very comfortable. On arrival he served us a selection of cheeses and breads with a little local wine; breakfast was equally generous and delicious. Considering that we only stayed one brief night, we left feeling more like friends than clients. I simply can't recommend Cilento Paestum more highly. When all our other memories of this trip have faded, we will still be remembering and talking about Sergio's outstanding warmth and kindness.
