Villa Alberto (apartment)

Home description

LAST MINUTE SPECIAL OFFER : 10% discount off advertised price for AUGUST bookings.

Villa Alberto is a detached stone villa set on two floors, arranged as 4 independent, self contained two bedroom apartments, with private parking located in a private road with wonderful views overlooking the sea, the bay of Santa Maria, surrounding countryside and the island of Capri.

The villa nestles in its own grounds and is surrounded by plants, a palm tree, orange, lemon, almond, cherry, walnut, apricot, plum trees and a small vegetable garden. Each apartment is simply but tastefully furnished, comprising two good size bedrooms, a bathroom with walk in shower, each with a combined sitting/kitchen/dining area with a wrought iron French style day bed to accommodate a 5th person. (Apartment 1 and 4 can accommodate 6 people).

All rooms are light and airy, having either double doors or large double shutter windows opening out on to spacious terraces or patios. Facilities include ; fitted kitchen, fridge, freezer, oven and hob, iron, ironing board, TV and outside furniture for dining and relaxing.

All apartments have their own very large independent terraces and 180 degree balconies or patios which surround the villa for a complete all round view of the bay and countryside.

As well as holidays for the independent traveller, we also feel the villa offers a wonderful setting for family and friend get togethers.

The adjoining coastal village of Santa Maria takes only 5 -10 minutes by car (2.5 km) and is accessible by foot in half an hour (for those who like walking) or within 10 minutes by local bus - the nearest bus stop is roughly 10 mins walk from the villa. Here you will find fine golden sandy beaches and shallow waters which have once again been awarded the blue flag for clear sea and clean beaches.

Villa Alberto is only a short distance (10 -15 minutes walk) from the historical centre of Castellabate - the largely undiscovered mediaeval hill top village which overlooks the beach resorts of Santa Maria and San Marco.

The Campania region

USING THE VILLA AS A BASE FOR VISITING OTHER AREAS
From Castellabate you could ; take a boat trip and see the blue grottos or the famous island of Capri (boats leave from San Marco which is only 10 mins drive from Castellabate, and go direct to Capri in season) , visit the natural beauty of Punta Licosa and the island, explore the Cilento National Park, see one of the local Buffalo Mozzarella Farms and taste the world famous cheese, see the magnificent lost city of Paestum, the Royal palace at Caserta, the Phoenician ruins at Velia, take scuba diving lessons in San Marco, see Herculaneum and Pompei, go kayaking in Felitto, visit the famous Amalfi coast (by car or boat directly from San Marco), the gulf of Salerno, Naples or Rome or just enjoy the beach or relax outside and take in the views from the villa.

The Times Newspaper wrote :
The fabulous coast near Naples has house prices as dizzying as the views - so it pays to head south to Cilento.
Drive south for an hour or so, however, and it is a different story.
The Cilento, in southern Campania, mixes hilly countryside with
dense woodland, and a sometimes rugged coastline with white
sandy beaches and sparkling, clean water. Much of the area is a
designated national park, with Unesco World Heritage status.
From hill towns such as Castellabate, you can trace the
coastline to Salerno, 40 miles to the north, and back out along
the Amalfi peninsula – and watch the sun set over Capri.

Santa Maria di Castellabate area

CASTELLABATE VILLAGE and the surrounding National Park.
The charming, living, working village of Castellabate is a traditional Italian mediaeval hill top village, just over an hour further south from the famous Amalfi coast.

Castellabate and The Cilento National Park have been recognised by UNESCO as world heritage sites since 1998.

Guestbook for Villa Alberto

Hi Amanda and Dave

Since our return home I have been meaning to send you an email to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Alberto. The apartment lived up to our expectations, the position could not have been better, wonderful sunsets over Capri. The food, beaches, our trips to Pompeii, Velia and Paestum were all terrific and our holiday was a great success.

Our journey home went smoothly no delays on the trains, even the overnight train arrived in Paris exactly to time.

Thanks for all your help during our stay, we hope we will meet you again sometime. We will have no hesitation in recommending your apartments to our friends.

Best Wishes, John, Sonja, Bill and Zoe Francis, and Stuart (28th August 2007)

Hi Amanda,

Well I'm sure that you have heard how lucky you are to be there rather than in London right now. In fact, I think that Castellabate gave us the only summer we are destined to see!

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say what a truly amazing holiday Angela, Zoe and myself had there. On arrival into Agropoli, David made our welcome so much easier and it was great having a chat to him in the car about the area, the village and the apartment.

Arriving to the villa and seeing such a gorgeous apartment set the tone for the hospitality we were to receive from you. We appreciated the gestures so much - you looking after us, inviting us for dinner cooked by Franca, and the lifts down to San Marco and Santa Maria. You and David really did help our stay to be so memorable and enjoyable!

The apartment was wonderful too - the views, being able to use the kitchen, the plums and tomatoes outside. I have recommended it to other people thinking of a holiday in Italy, pointing out that not only is it an amazing bit of coastline and village, but also just a nice relaxed and helpful atmosphere.

So thank you again for everything. It really made our holiday so special and we appreciated all the things you did for us.

Kind regards

Brooke Alford, Angela Merker and Zoe Curtis (23rd August 2007)

Hi guys .... just wanted to say a huge thanks again for everything you both did for us while we were in Castellabate .... you guys were so helpful with everything ... we really enjoyed our stay and the view we woke up to every morning was out of this world .... so thanks again both of you ...

our very best to you both.

Steve and Christine. (Nov 2008)
