Hotel Marulivo    

OUR OPINION

The hotel sits high clinging to a cliff at the edge of the medieval historic center and is surrounded by breathtaking views over the blue sea, coastal hills, and olive and lemon groves.

Pisciotta has some lovely beaches, all with clear blue seas. The town also hosts a number of bars and restaurants.

It has a harbor where you can rent boats,  go diving and snorkeling. 

The wonderful and totally unspoiled coast road connects to a string of quaint seaside villages, and a few resort towns.

The breakfast is served in the ancient cloister made of vaults, overlooking an extraordinary terrace with a breathtaking view of the sea;

The hotel does not have a restaurant;  however, just around the corner there is the Osteria del Borgo  -  a wonderful "hole in the wall"  restaurant where chef Gerardo will delight you with a simple menu of fresh local produce.

Marulivo Hotel offers its guests eleven rooms with a charming view and either French balconies or grand windows overlooking blue waters.

Every room is supplied with all comforts and each one is peculiar thanks to their unique antique furniture and ornaments. Nothing is random and each room reveals its own special charm.

All of the rooms – Classic, Superior and Junior Suites – have Satellite TV, electronic safe-deposit box, mini-bar, air conditioned, heating, towel-heater, hair drier, courtesy bathroom set, direct phone, alarm, and Wi-Fi internet access.

An extraordinary terrace, made out of stones and terracotta overlooks crystal-clear waters and ancient olive trees, offering the ideal scenario for the most inspiring morning breakfasts or romantic cocktail hours at sunset in the lounge bar.

In the narrow alleys and stairways with their palazzi and houses dating from the 16th century, you will experience the unique flair of real Italian village life.

In spite of its closeness to the sea, it is far from being overrun by tourists, customs and traditions which are hundreds of years old are preserved and kept alive.

Net worth

In the town of Marina di Pisciotta, near Salerno, you can buy straight from the fishermen little jars of anchovies known as “di menaica”, which have a very high quality white nearly pink meat with a special intense and delicate flavour.

Anchovies di menaica are different even in the way they’re fished. The fishing ritual is practiced only by a small fleet of gozzi in Marina di Pisciotta and goes back to ancient times and remains intact through the centuries.

During the night, under the stars, when the sea is calm, the fishermen go out on their gozzi and through their nets called “menaiche” they only catch the larger anchovies that die losing blood in the sea water.

The fishermen delicately pull the nets by hand and pick the fish one by one out of the meshes, removing heads and entrails.

Anchovies are put in wooden boxes without refrigerating means and are worked straight away in the first hours of the morning.

They’re washed in brine and carefully put in enameled clay jars that can only contain a few kilos each. In the past when there was more fish it was put in “terzarole”, big wooden barrels.

After been covered and pressed with stones the anchovies have to age for at least six months.

Anchovies di Menaica are a result of an excellent culture interaction with the territory that has kept unaltered the skills necessary to keep all the necessary stages of production.

It is possible to experience the Menaica with the firshermen during their nightly excursions between April and July
