Relais Le Magnolie is in a truly extraordinary location. Close by the most beautiful beaches in Italy, the hotel is right in the heart of the Cilento National Park, a region in which nature, well-being and culture blend into a single environment. The Cilento National Park, in fact, is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Park is a remakable result of natural evolution and made-made changes, combining the history and traditions of the successive civilizations that have inhabited it.
The Cilento is full of characteristic traces in terms of topography, archaeology, architecture and culture from ancient to medieval to the present. The park is a sort of living landscape, where mountains and the sea, suggestions of nordic and african culture, east and west all coexist in a many-faceted continuum of sights and heritage waiting to be discovered.
