Residenza Forte is located in Olevano Sul Tusciano, Italy. Rated 7.4 out of 10 based on 46 guest reviews.
Residenza Forte in Olevano sul Tusciano, Italy, is a 19th-century residence on Via Busolino 48 with views that stretch toward the Gulf of Salerno and, on clear days, the Amalfi Coast. The setting suits travellers who want a quieter base while still being within reach of Salerno’s seafront and historic streets. Rooms are decorated with hand-painted wooden furniture, and many guests appreciate the mix of character and practical comfort, including air conditioning and heating for year-round stays. Non-smoking rooms and family rooms are available, and pets are welcome, which is useful for those travelling with companions.
