Travel & Accommodations
— Airport Options —
Option 1: Naples International Airport
This is usually the most practical airport for people travelling from the U.S. and has far more international flight options.
From Naples, the venue is about: 1.5–2 hours by car
or ~2.5–3 hours via train + transfer
Option 2: Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport
This is the nearest airport to the venue — roughly a 45–60 minute drive.
Best if:
You can find a direct or easy connecting flight
You want the shortest transfer
You’re comfortable with a smaller regional airport
Downside:
Limited international flights compared to Naples
— Transportation Options —
Option 1: Renting a Car
A few things to keep in mind if you are going to rent a car:
1. Automatics are much less common in Italy and can sell out months in advance in summer. If you are not comfortable driving stick, make sure you plan in advance.
2. Don’t get a huge car. You will regret it in old Italian towns.
3. You likely need an International Driving Permit (IDP). For U.S. travelers, Italy technically requires one alongside your regular license. AAA can issue one pretty quickly.
RENTAL CAR OPTIONS
1. SIXT Car Rental - Naples Airport
Usually one of the best-reviewed major companies at Naples airport and tends to have newer cars and better English-language support.
2. Europcar Napoli Aeroporto
Very common in Italy and good availability for compact SUVs and automatics.
3. Locauto
Popular with travelers in Italy and often considered easier to deal with than some budget agencies.
Option 2: Private transfer / Taxi
You can either arrange a transfer directly through your hotel / accommodations (if they offer airport shuttle service) or book a local transfer company.
SOME NEARBY TRANSFER SERVICES

—COUNTRYSIDE OPTIONS—
These are more laid back, smaller, rural accommodations
Borgo la Pietraia
Beautiful hillside property with panoramic views, pool, and upscale rustic feel. Great if you want something romantic and very “Italian countryside.” About 10–15 minutes away from the venue.
Aia Resort
Modern countryside stay with a pool and more polished resort feel while still being close to Giungano/Trentinara. About 20 minutes away from the venue.
—Paestum Beach + Archaeology Area Options—
These are ideal if you want beach clubs, easier dining, or more hotel amenities
Tenuta Duca Marigliano Boutique Hotel
Stylish boutique hotel near the Paestum temples. Probably the best balance of charm + location. About 20 minutes away from the venue.
Paestum Inn Beach Resort
Great option if beach access is important. Modern and relaxed. About 18 minutes from the venue.
Mec Paestum Hotel
5-star hotel (fancy schmancy). Larger full-service hotel with beach proximity and lots of amenities. Good if you want convenience and a more traditional resort feel. About 18 minutes from the venue.
Savoy Beach Hotel
Also 5-star fancy schmancy. More upscale/luxury option with resort amenities and easy access to Paestum. About 20 minutes from the venue.
You do not have to stay at one of these options.
Feel free to do your own research and find something that works for you/the group you are staying with!
Heads up: a lot of places are smaller/boutique vibes so keep that in mind if you're booking rooms with a group.
