Description

Be mesmerised by the stunning sea views from one of the many gorgeous terraces at Villa Mediterraneo, perfectly positioned in the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, just 800m from the beach and summer lidos, set in the Campanian province of Salerno. The warm and hospitable owners have created a beautiful and spacious villa that is excellent for families or friends. It has vast enclosed gardens and stylish and inviting interiors. Set over three floors, the layout allows a degree of independence on each level alongside ample space to gather together whether it’s sunbathing by the infinity-style swimming pool or feasting al-fresco by the summer kitchen with its wood-fired pizza oven and barbecue. Inside the villa, guests can expect modern style alongside an abundance of Campanian charm with white-washed walls, colourful artwork and great attention to detail. Air-conditioning can be found upstairs whilst the shade of the giant oak, thick stone walls and bedroom ceiling fans keep the ground floor cool on warm summer days. Set around 56m above sea level, you can reach the beach in just 800m with its sandy shores and summer lidos. There are shops, bars and restaurants just a little further in this friendly and authentic seaside resort, which is especially atmospheric in the summer months. Arrange a private skippered boat for tours of the coastline whether its visiting natural sea caves, the unspoilt beauty of Acquafredda or the beautiful beaches of Maratea with the most incredible sunsets.

** Please note the property is positioned close to the Amalfi Coast but is actually located in Salerno Province **

Set at the foot of the Parco Nazionale del Cilento in the Salerno province of Campania, Villa Mediterraneo is around 56m above sea level with wonderful views of the Gulf of Policastro, part of an estate featuring woodland and cork oak trees. The beach is around 1km away (be mindful that the last part up to the villa, beyond the railway bridge, is very steep, a car may be preferable) where you will find summer lidos, shops, bars and more restaurants. This area is authentically Italian, with good restaurants serving regional cuisine made from local produce, and there’s a charming and lively ambience in the summer months. This coastline is a joy to explore – why not hire a skippered boat for the day, which can be organised in advance by the owners. Discover a wealth of natural caves as well as beautiful bays, including the incredible coast around Acquafredda and Maratea, with cliff-backed beaches and picturesque sunsets. There are more idyllic coves en route to Palinuro; many reached only by boat or by the most adventurous hikers. The nearest town is Sapri, around 5km away, where there are summer ferries (usually from the end of May to mid-September) to the Amalfi coast, the island of Capri and Naples. Spend time in the town itself with its characterful town centre, lively bars and restaurants and beachside promenade. Parco Nazionale del Cilento, the second-largest national park in Italy, would make a great day out. The hilly landscapes provide great walking opportunities – head as far as Monte Cervati, nearly 2000m above sea level, and follow the 2-hour hiking trail (partly off-road) to its peak from the village of Sanza.
