VIPA ALBERGHI
Villa Maria, Hotel Giordano and Villa Eva are part of the same group, positioned on the same road, are very close to each other and the guests of each structure has the possibility to use the spaces and services of the others, since we consider them as being part of a single touristy complex.
The Palumbo family, owners from four generations, since 1934 with great grandparents Vincenzo and Orsola, still personally manages the hotel with grandchildren Francesco and Giuseppe who, thanks to the experience acquired in hotels and restaurants abroad, devote themselves to the hotel with youthful spirit but with the same attention and commitment of their predecessors.
