Palme Del Cilento Castellabate, Cilento coast, Amalfi Coast Sleeps 6 guests, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms DESCRIPTION Cilento National Park villa with pool rental – Set in the splendid Cilento National Park, Palme del Cilento is a pretty, newly built family villa with pool a short walk from the local village shops and restaurants and only 1 mile from the beach. Simply and comfortably furnished, this appealing property has an airy feel and is equipped with all comforts to make your holiday a pleasant and relaxing experience. The accommodation is arranged over the ground floor which makes it particularly comfortable for families with young children who will appreciate the advantage of open plan living, the spacious covered terrace and the flat lawned garden surrounding the pool. Why not start the morning the Italian way, with cappuccino and croissants on the terrace, enjoying the surrounding greenery and the hilly backdrop of the Cilento National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site. Your days might start with a stroll to the bakery or to the other shops in the local village, followed by a trip to the nearby sandy beaches at Ogliastro Marino, Acciaroli, Punta Licosa or Punta Tresino: there are several Blue Flag beaches to choose from in this area. There are also plenty of pretty places to visit, such as Acciaroli, an authentic fishing village which still preserves much of its original charm, and Castellabate and Agropoli which boast attractive medieval old towns. Walking along the coastal path is a lovely way to appreciate the unspoilt beauty of this protected area of Southern Campania. Further afield you can reach some popular destinations such as Vietri sul Mare and the Amalfi coast, or the impressive Ancient Greek archaeological sites of Paestum and Velia, all ideal for days out.

INSIDER TIPS This independent and newly built holiday house has a large garden and private pool and has been furnished with care. The location is ideal whether you are looking for a relaxing summer holiday or to explore the attractive, protected Cilento region, much of which is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The nearby village of Castellabate was used as the setting of the film "Benvenuti al Sud" (Welcome to the South). A trip idea: the two major archaeological sites of Paestum and Velia are both about 19 miles away (in opposite directions): this part of Italy once formed part of Ancient Greece. You can also visit the Amalfi coast just west of Salerno: Vietri sul Mare is famous for its exquisite ceramics and would make a feasible and memorable day trip.
