Domus Laeta, the ancient home of the aristocratic family Aulisio is a large dwelling place which still keeps the aura and charm of its past. Located in the small town of Giungano, Domus Laeta is within the UNESCO National Park of Cilento, province of Salerno, and faces south with a fascinating distant view of the sea. The building, one of the most ancient in the village, is next to the main square and the Church. It is three floors high and sits atop a terraced garden with an orchard and vineyard overlooking the valley; a typical Italian country mansion, well equipped to run autonomously. Domus Laeta has kept its XVII century structure with watch-towers and loop-holes along the walls, stables and mangers, an oil-mill built of stone, cellars and bread ovens. An old reservoir by a spring-water well, in the open and panoramic garden, has been turned into a swimming pool with hydromassage. This elegant house has always belonged to the same family, whose memories are still visible in furniture, objects of art, archives, library with old and rare books (about 3,000 volumes).
The house has recently restructured in order to became a Bed and Breakfast. The great halls have remained unaltered, and an ancient chest of drawers placed in the main hall is mentioned in a document of the 1700s. There is a room attached to the spring-water well which was used for water storage. The bedrooms have always been located where they are now, and the bathrooms generally outside on the verandas. There are comfortable lounges, library, TV room, spacious external premises, including open gallery with frescoes, panoramic terrace, orchard, swimming pool and a small gym. The host and hostess wish to ensure that a sojourn at "Domus Laeta" is comfortable and pleasant. An abundant continental breakfast is served. Special dinners, high-class receptions and small meetings can be arranged on request. Guest rooms available at present are five, all with private bathrooms: The Blue Room, The Gold Room, The Pink Room, The Bishops Antechamber, Bishops chamber.

This has recently been inserted in the UNESCO list of humanity's natural beauties. Giungano is only 10 kilometers from the sea.
