target="_blank"> Undiscovered Gem Cilento is a land of myth and legend, folklore and history … moonscapes and misty, forest-clad mountains that plunge down to the sea … long stretches of golden-sand beaches interspersed with cave-pockmarked cliffs and hidden coves … hilltop villages with narrow, cobbled alleys, family-run restaurants still using nonna's recipes.. Cilento's cuisine is based on fresh, seasonal ingredients and local tradition. Meat dominates inland, while seafood prevails on the coast. href="http://www.dreamofitaly.com/members/656.cfm"> Where to Stay in Cilento There are accommodations of all kinds in this corner of Campania. We profile everything from an agriturismo to a beach resort to a former 17th-century hunting lodge used by the kings of Spain and Italy. When you want to stay close enough to Piazza San Marco to be close to the action but want to avoid touristy hotels, one of these four establishments might be just what you are seeking. A resident of the city gives us the 411 on spending Christmas and New Year's in Venice. What's open, what's not and what's not to be missed!
