The apartment is within walking distance of the village centre with its shops cafes and general amenities. The newly renovated apartment is situated in a grandiose building which originally dates back to the 15th century but in its present form since the 18thc and once the residence of noble gentry, the building is a land mark in Santa Maria built directly on the rocks and seafront it was in later years the gathering point of fishermen who would dock their boats on the lower 'cantinas'.

The Campania region

The village of Santa Maria is situated in a wide sandy bay 120 km south of Naples and 50km south of Salerno. The Campania region offers a variety of contrasting scenery from the coast to the hills and is steeped in history Greek mythology and legends reflected in the numerous relics and still alive in traditions and thought.
Recently Santa maria di Castellabate has been the location setting for the film 'Benvenuti al Sud' which has been having enormous box office success.

Excursion Possibilities The area offers a variety of choice for excursions to the better known tourist attractions- the historic sites of Pompeii and Paestum, the dramatic cliff-like Amalfi coast with the picturesque towns of Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Sorrento and the Island of Capri. The caves of Pertosa and Castelcivita and Palinuro also offer a fascinating outing, not to mention the local area where stone farmhouses hidden amongst the olive groves and entire villages stand as relics to times gone by.

The Santa Maria di Castellabate area

Local Information The village of Santa Maria di Castellabate is situated on the beautiful and unspoilt Cilento Coastline which in turn lies in the Parco Nazionale del Cilento a natural parkland reserve which stretches along the coast and inland to the hill of Vallo di Diano. Offering a wonderful combination of wide sandy bays, rocky coves, verdant hillside and natural flora and fauna. The many sandy beaches in and around Santa Maria di Castellabate were recently awarded the 'bandiera blu' for their clean seas. The village of Santa Maria runs parallel to the coast and offers a variety of shops, bars and gelaterias, whilst the area boasts a wide selection of good restaurants offering genuine local cuisine.
Santa Maria The position of the apartment means that it is not necessary to have a car since the central piazza and pedestrian village are just on short stroll away whilst the sea is on your doorstep.

The medieval village of Castellabate now under the patronage of the UNESCO can also be reached in a short bus/car drive and offers stunning views of the coast whilst one can explore its hidden alleyways and marvel at its historic architecture.

I just wanted to say thank you, we had a lovely stay in your apartment which we thought was absolutely marvellous. It was ideal for my mum and the children because she could stay in while we went down to the beach and she could shout down if she needed us. It was a perfect location and I am so glad we were able to stay there. I will most definitely be contacting you again. Thanks again. Regards Caterina

Wanted to let you know what a great time we had in the apartment the location of the apartment is perfect we spend alot of time on the terrace and we enjoyed the beach, we walked it everyday and the town being so close with everything we needed.
