Property 10189

Location and Surrounding Area

Located near the lively town of Villammare and featuring a panoramic terrace with spectacular sea views, this five-bedroom villa is the perfect place for those who seek complete relaxation on one of the most famous stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. The Cilento stretch of coastline boasts a string of sun-bleached towns, among them popular Agropoli, gleaming white Palinuro, charming Castellabate and the evocative ruined temples of Paestum.

The small village of Villammare came into being, so to speak, at the beginning of the 20th century, when rich families from the neighboring hillside villages settled round the few fishermen’s homes of the ancient fishermen’s stronghold. Today small fishermen’s homes alternate with the palazzi of rich noblemen along the promenade. The heart of active village life beats at the appealing harbor promenade with its numerous bars and shops. The variety of restaurants ranges from typical pizzerias to noble trattorias.

The Cilento can even afford to have a slight air of superiority when it comes to its beaches: a combination of secluded coves and long stretches of golden sand with fewer overpriced ice creams and sunbeds. Yet Campania's southern bookend is about more than its waterside appeal. It is here that you will find the ancient Greek temples of Paestum and a large coastal tract of the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni, also a Unesco World Heritage site.

Among the main beaches is that of Palinuro. The town’s main beach stretches for around 4 km north of the center. There is another more sheltered curve of sand abutting Palinuro’s postcard-pretty harbor in the south, replete with colorful fishing boats, several bars and a rocky headland standing sentinel. You can hire kayaks and arrange boat trips here. In Castellabate, Santa Maria’s golden sandy beach stretches for around 4 km, which equals plenty of towel space on the sand, even in midsummer.

In Castellabate, San Marco’s Blue Flag beach is the natural continuation to the south. Here you will find the esteemed Spiaggia del Pozzillo, populated with several lidi (beach establishments renting loungers and umbrellas). Another Cilento stunner, Acciaroli’s main beach has sand, space, a Blue Flag rating and easy access to the historic town at its southern end. Water and sand are kept ruthlessly clean. If you could not hack the Amalfi’s rocky, crowded beaches, this will be a gulp of fresh air.
