Villa Renata
£344–£704 / week
About the home
Villa Renata has a terrace of 70 square meters, with a wide view of the valley and of the sea, and it also has a small garden, with a view of the sea as well. It is at approximately 1 km (half a mile) from the sea and from the beach. It has a parking space.
There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with three single beds, a living room with television, a kitchen with fireplace and dining table.
The house is built on the slope of a hill covered by pine trees. It is the top level of an ancient country house, and it is surrounded by a plot of land where citrus trees and olive trees are grown. The sloping terrain has made it possible to build a private entrance to the villa, with an entrance gate that is totally independent of the rest of the building. As a matter of fact, the rest of the building, which has been built by the owners for their own vacations, can't bee seen from Villa Renata as it is located under the large terrace.

There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with three single beds, a living room with television, a kitchen with fireplace and dining table. The kitchen is equipped with four-burner cooker, oven, refrigerator with freezer. There are two bathrooms: one has the shower and the second one has no shower. The bathroom without shower is connected to the bedroom with a double bed. In the garden you will find an external shower and a laundry corner.
You will be able to enter to large terrace both from the bedrooms and from the living room.
Further details outdoors:
Standing on the terrace or in the garden of Villa Renata you will not be able to see other houses around you, except for those far away, scattered here and there in the fields and in the olive groves, or clustered close to the sea.
From the main gate you will enter a small fenced rustic garden, where there is the parking space.
In the garden you will find oleanders with pink flowers, a large fig and a few century-old olive trees.
In the shade of the trees there is a table with chairs, as well as a long brickwork bench on which you will be able to seat and enjoy the wide view of the vegetation and of the sea.
From the terrace you will enjoy a 360-degree view, that goes from the hill covered by the typical loca pine trees, behind the house, to the valley below and all the way to the sea.
The view of the sea embraces the whole small bay of Santa Maria di Castellabate, from the cliff of Punta Licosa, with its lighthouse, to the south, to the cape of Punta Tresino, to the north.
This tract of the Mediterranean sea, famous for the beauty of its bottom and rich in archaeological findings of the Greek and Roman ages, is a protected sea park and it is a real paradise for divers.
On clear days your sight can reach the entire Gulf of Salerno, with the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri on the background. From this place you will also enjoy spectacular sunsets over the sea and the view, at night, of the lights of the Gulf.
The terrace of Villa Renata is indeed a nice place to enjoy the sun or relax al "fresco". The house is approximately 400 meters (450 yards) from the closest supermarket and shops, and 1 km (half a mile) from the centre of Santa Maria di Castellabate, where you will find the pedestrian precinct for the shopping, cafes and restaurants.

The Campania region


Campania region is the beginning of the 'mezzogiorno'. Translating as the 'midday' the phrase evokes the sun-baked south. And Campania - with its ancient Greek and Roman towns, rumbling volcanoes and glittering blue coastline, at times evokes Classical Greece as much as modern Italy. You could be a million miles from bureaucratic and businesslike Milan.
Throughout much of its history Campania has been at the centre of Western Civilisation's most significant entities. The area was colonised by Ancient Greeks and was within Magna Græcia, until the Roman Republic began to dominate. During the Roman era the area was highly respected as a place of culture by the emperors, where it balanced Greco-Roman culture. The area had many duchies and principalities during the Middle Ages, in the hands of the Byzantine Empire and some Lombards.
It was under the Normans that the smaller independent states were brought together as part of a sizeable European kingdom, known as the Kingdom of Sicily, before the mainland broke away to form the Kingdom of Naples. It was during this period that especially elements of Spanish, French and Aragonese culture touched Campania. Later the area became the central part of the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons, until the Italian unification of 1860 when it became part of the new state Italy.
The capital city of Campania is Naples. Campania is rich in culture, especially in regards to gastronomy, music, architecture, archaeological and ancient sites such as Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum. The name of Campania itself is derived from Latin, as the Romans knew the region as Campania felix, which translates into English as "fortunate countryside". The rich natural sights of Campania make it highly important in the tourism industry, especially along the Amalfi Coast, Cilento Coast, Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri.
The Santa Maria di Castellabate area
Staying at Villa Renata you will enjoy the sun, the sea, the green of the pine trees, the quiet of a small, charming, tourist centre, the good local cuisine based on the genuine produce of the Cilento National Park, such as mozzarella cheese, olive oil and wine.
Villa Renata is an excellent starting point to visit the Cilento National Park and the archaeological excavations of Paestum and Velia, the excavation of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Amalfi Coast and Capri.
The bus stop is at approximately 500 meters (550 yards). Mind that the road to reach the house from the bus stop is uphill!
The closest train station is Agropoli, at 14 km (9 miles).
In the area you will find the tourist ports of San Marco (at 4 km, 2.5 miles) and of Agropoli, and it is possible, during the summer, to board ferries to the Amalfi Coast, to Capri and to other location along the Cilento Coast, as well as to take boat trips, fishing trips or diving trips.
In the summer time, in the villages along the coast it is possible to attend a large number of "sagre" (local outdoor festivals with homemade dishes and live music), and it is possible to book guided hikes along naturalist, historical-cultural or gastronomic trails with the Cilento National Park guides.
Santa Maria di Castellabate was commonly known as Isca delle Chitarre, which represents the current historical centre, extending between two main squares: Piazza Materazzo, nearby the homonym villa and Piazza Lucia. The most suggestive buildings in town are located in the historical portico's area in front of the pier, called "Porte le Gatte" (transmutation of the name "porticati").
Santa Maria di Castellabate delights any visitor. Its history is shrouded in legend: according to general belief, this was the land of Leucosia, the siren able to cast a spell over anyone.
The glorious past of one of the most suggestive and unforgettable villages of Cilento, has seen parading populations as Normans, Byzantines, Saracens, French, Spanish, as well as local squires and feudatories that contended for it throughout the centuries, not only for the great fortress but even for the beauty of its natural position.
This fishing village lost in a old-time atmosphere, offers a very interesting museum, called "Museo del Mare" (Museum of the Sea), in Villa Matarazzo, where you will see important finds, like the amphora belonging to an ancient ship dated back at the I century BC, and found in 1990.
Castellabate has a spectacular natural setting that offers to lovers of art, nature scholars, sport lovers and simply curious tourists, thousands of opportunities for excursions, culture and entertainment over and above the beauty of sea and beaches.
To complete the picture, the courtesy of the people as well as the flavours and scents of local cuisine are just unique!

Guestbook for Villa Renata
Seamus O., Cork, Ireland - Enjoyed out stay very much. Lovely area and nice and quiet at this time of year.
Villa is set in a very peaceful area.
Received excellent help and advice from the owners, could not have been more helpful.
Tina R., Much Wenlock, United Kingdom - We have had a wonderful holiday at Villa Renata. The outside terrace was fantastic for relaxing and dining al fresco with fabulous views and wonderful sunsets.
Angela and Franco (the owners) are lovely and gave us fresh figs from their tree and have even given us some dried ones for Christmas. They were very eager to please and gave us a lovely welcome. Their family were very welcoming as well and couldn't be more helpful when trying to find out where the best places to eat and visit were located.
The location is quiet and a short drive from the beach. I would recommend this place as the resort is great for families with a wonderful "passeggiata" in the evenings.
We were concerned that the kitchen would not be adequate from the previous testimonials as we are keen cooks but we took our "Naples at Table" cookbook and were able to make everything we wanted to.
