Marquis Santangelo
This palazzo was owned by the Napoletan family Santangelo. They used this casa as their holiday home to escape the busy Napoli every now and then. By that time Casa Santangelo was right on the sea.

About our founder
Hi, I’m Debbie Breg. As a little child I told my mom I would be living my life in suitcases and pretty much I did. Originally from the Netherlands, my suitcases brought me to Sicily, New York City, back ‘home’ to the Netherlands, Salerno, back ‘home’ to the Netherlands and in 2019 I settled myself again in Salerno, close to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.
From the moment I opened the big wooden doors of Casa Santangelo I was mesmerized by the immense serenity, tranquility and beauty of this palazzo. Having lived in so many places I can finally say I feel home in Salerno. I love the authentic South Italian daily life, the pureness, the realness. I’ve found my equilibrio here, my balance.
How much I love the beauty of the famous Amalfi Coast, how much I embrace the beautiful chaos of Napoli and how much I enjoy the wonderful nature of Cilento… There is no place like home, and for me that is Salerno.
The Casa Santangelo team and I are looking forward to welcoming you to Salerno & Casa Santangelo soon!
