Villa
“Le Cannicelle” is located in a strategic position,
in between the sea and the hills...
On
a hillside at 124 ft. above sea level, it commands a spectacular
Mediterranean vista - views stretching down to the farthest
mountains of the Calabria region (the mountain range that soars
above Diamante and Paola) on one side and as far as the Punta
(Cape) of the Infreschi and the wild coastal tract bearing the
same name between Scario and Marina di Camerota on the other
side.
Two thirds of the estate is covered with lush woodland thick
with cork oak, a plant typical of the environmental niche stretching
along the coastline of the Bay of Policastro between S. Marina
and Sapri.
Surrounded
by a big enclosed garden, it is the perfect accommodation for
families with children and for those who wish to take their
pets on holiday with them!
The
Villa was built in 1992 in the Mediterranean rural style and
it has been redecorated yearly. Apart from a flat occasionally
used by the owners, there are two self-contained residences,
both with sea-views: a large apartment with a large terrace
named “Lentisco” (mastic tree) on the first floor,
and a lovely attic with balcony named “Mirto” (myrtle)
on the second floor. All rooms are airy and full of light, furnished
in a simple and tasteful style.
Guests
have use of the communal areas: the large loggia and solarium,
the garden, the swimming pool, barbecue, outdoor showers and
taverna - the area under the porch, wooden tables and benches.
The sandy beach is only 600 metres away, and it is ideal for
long walks - following the coast you can reach the town centre
of Villammare in 10 minutes.
Not
to be missed: boat trips along the coast of Maratea
and around the Bay of the Infreschi; horse-trekking on Mount
Bulgheria, hiking or canoeing to the “Gole” (Gorges)
of the River Bussento; the Paestum archaeological site; the
Velia archaeological site; the Marine Museum at Pioppi; the
Certosa of Padula; the medieval village of San Severino di Centola;
the World Wildlife Fund eco-oasis at Morigerati; the caves of
Cape Palinuro; the endless sandy beaches and … memorable
sunsets from “Le Cannicelle” terraces!
You can reach the island of Capri by hydrofoil from Sapri harbour
(seasonal timetable).
