Welcome to Salerno
Salerno is a picturesque ancient city in Campania, located on the Gulf of Salerno on the Tyrrhenian Sea. It has always been a strategic point due to its port that is still active today. Despite its industrial role the city situated on the hill-side behind the port offers a stunning view to its gulf.
Salerno has a long and diverse history that starts with its foundation by the Etruscans. During the Roman Era it gained even bigger importance that was emphasized by the fact that the Lombard conquerors set Salerno as their capital and established a dukedom here. Around 1077 the Normans led by Robert Guiscard built the Cathedral and the city started to revive.
In the 9th century the very first medieval medical school in Europe, the most important health educational institution, namely the Scuola Medica Salernitana was established in Salerno. In the 16th century, under the Sanseverino family, the city became a centre of learning and culture; while in the end of the 17th century, it suffered several damaging earthquakes and plagues.

I came for the second time to the hostel and I found even better hospitality and friendship than in my first trip. Thanks for everything! Hope to return again!

The hosts are really welcoming and helpful. We could pay in for home-made dishes (great price, great quality). The building is a unique one, close to the beach and the centre. Great experience, highly recommend.
This is a good vibes hostel. I really enjoyed my stay and met many great people. There is a breakfast for 4€ and also dinner, food is very tasty.

The hostel is absolutely fantastic! Clean, bright and spacious, it has all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Mika and Ignacio cook delicious dinner in the evening. The home-made pasta with the best pesto was my favorite. I hope to come back sometime soon!

Mind your booking!
You must know that Palazzo Genovese, including some spaces of Salerno Experience Hostel, is yet under renovation but this doesn’t affect your room, the shared bathrooms, the toilets, the kitchen and the terrace, where you will spend most of your time during your stay. You will be welcome in the already reconstructed spaces of the hostel, though you might capture some pieces of construction materials on your way to your room or the common areas.
