THE AREA
Cilento, the southernmost area of Campania, has been included in the UNESCO in the World Heritage List. With almost one hundred kilometres of coast with cliffs overlooking the sea, golden beaches, wild and unspoilt landscapes, and large bays with fully equipped beach clubs, Cilento can boast some of the most beautiful seaside spots of Campania such as Palinuro, Scario, Ascea, Ogliastro, Paestum, Villammare and Camerota, all part of the Cilento National Park. Here is where we find the marks of great history; it was here that the founder of Rome, Aeneas, is said to have made shore first in western Italy after the battle of Troy, and it is also said to be here along the coast that the sirens called on Odysseus with their songs.
The village of Villammare is an ancient fishing village at the foot of the extensive Cilento National Park which takes in one of the most attractive strips of the Tyrrhenian coast swathed by the vivid colours of the Mediterranean flora. Long sandy beaches, a colourful seafront fringed with palms and eucalyptus trees, small restaurants, cosy venues and cottages make of Villammare the perfect seaside resort for travellers from all over the world in search of friendly and charming spots off the beaten track. Breathtaking views from the hills covered with centuries-old cork oaks, trekking the mountains and cruising along the Cilento coast, mouth-watering regional cuisine and the special friendliness of the locals captivate visitors all year round.

Photos don’t do it justice! Stunning location, home, and host! Marzio made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. This is the sort of place you want to tell everyone about, but also keep to yourself so there’s availability for booking í ½í¸‚ Thank you for having us and we would definitely stay again!
AMAZING - wonderful host, the most incredible pool and view, immaculate, clean and perfectly equipped accommodation. We booked very last minute as our booked accommodation was cancelled - we fell on our feet as Marzio is the most incredible host who looked after us so well. We had our 8 month old baby with us and his family were so welcoming and accommodating, picking us up from the train station and taking us to the supermarket, playing with our little girl in the pool and just generally going above and beyond. The villa is up a steep hill and as advised in the description your stay is much easier with a car and the area needs one to be explored to its full potential. However even though we didn’t have one we still enjoyed our stay walking to the village for lunch once and just enjoying the pool\/garden\/balcony and really relaxing for the four days we were there. Cannot recommend this place enough not only is the accommodation incredible but Marzio is one of the kindest, most excellent hosts you could ever ask for.
Marzio is an incredible host - kind, attentive, responsive and as a result my extended family spanning 3 generations experienced an incredible holiday. Thanks to Marzio we enjoyed fantastic meals at some of the best local restaurants; experienced some fantastic trips including a memorable day cruising the beautiful coastline by boat. Nothing was too much trouble and the lovely housekeeper Maria also deserves a mention for keeping everything so clean and tidy during our week. I'm so glad we ventured slightly further afield to experience a truly unspoilt part of Southern Italy. Absolutely faultless.
This Villa is nothing short of perfect! It is in a picture postcard location, far from the maddening crowds, is completely restored with the modern conveniences and old world charm. The hosts make you feel like you are with family! Seriously, Marzio and his family are spectacular hosts… taking care of every little thing. We couldn’t find even one small thing that we would change. Even the kitchen was perfect… the bucolic location is amazing, close to town yet far enough to be a quiet country setting. The level of details taken care of is a testament to the owners willingness to please guests, and they did! It was a perfect few days… next time (hopefully soon) we will stay longer.
The Villa is so special, we all had a wonderful and memorable stay. The kindness of our host Marzio and his team of helpers added to the experience. We loved everything about our stay and will be back one day! Grazie Marzio!
Stupendo!! 10\/5. This is not only the most beautiful place we have stayed in, but the absolute best super hosts we have had the pleasure of meeting. The experience was not only phenomenal because of the incredible views, privacy and luxury of the villa, but most of all, our hosts Marzio and Antonietta made us feel like family from the very start! From the moment we stepped in, Marzio- the most polite and gracious host took us on a tour of the beautiful home, which is absolutely breath taking! Marzio and his family hosted an incredible dinner for us where we got to know each other and not just see but experience the beauty of Villammare and it’s people. I have travelled to many places but this one has definitely been my favourite. We have a small baby and Marzio and Antonietta made sure we have all of the comforts of our home, and more! I absolutely recommend this villa to anyone, but especially if you are looking for a luxury experience and amazing privacy and tranquillity. Also very close to town and the beach, although we spent most of our time on the gorgeous deck and terraces by the pool- we had everything and more than we needed! Grazie mille!
This was an incredible place to vacation for my family. If you want to escape to the real Italy, away from the tourists but experience the best of the Italian coast - this is a gem! The pictures do no justice to this place. The villa is full of all the luxuries we needed. The bedrooms were all very large with good design and great amenities. The bathrooms were well stocked and extremely clean - as was the whole houses immaculate. The kitchen was great and a fun place to prepare food. The outdoor kitchen was also a real treasure at night for long dinners with our large group. There are many eating areas and balconies with well appointed seating for morning coffees, afternoon reading and evening cocktails. Lots of space to get some quiet time. Our family enjoyed so much time at the pool. It’s huge and has great steps leading into if you have little ones. There was a box full of pool toys too which was brilliant for our group. There was also a great slide and swing set in the garden - it is an endless activity center for a family. The villa is surrounded with lots of delicious fruit trees and everyday we picked lemons, plums, peaches as we played in the garden. It was magic. Perhaps the best part of the trip was our host. He was incredible helping us plan activities before and during our stay (definitely recommend the boat trip and booking dinner at his local favourites). He shared with us his family wine - which tasted even better with the stories he shared about his family. Maria the housekeeper keeps the home immaculate and always there to help with anything we needed. They really made us feel welcome and shared the best of Italian hospitality. We will be back to stay again - it was heaven.
The villa is wonderful. A fantastic location with sea views and private surrounds. Our host made sure all our needs were fully met. Gardens pretty with apricot orchards set against blue sea vistas. The pool was hard to clamber out of. Perfect temperature (June) Equally the nearby sea was so clean and clear and delicious to swim in. Heavenly. Diversity of activities in this area. Cilento national park has stunning mountain scenery tumbling down to the sea. Hiking to waterfalls. Boat trips. One of the best family holidays we have ever had.

Our stay at this wonderful villa was one of the best holidays we have had. The villa's situation means you have panoramic views of the sea and the mountains. Marzio is a very attentive host and has made a map to make getting to all the recommended sights very straight forward. He looks after his guests very well with lots of restaurant recommendations and things to do. The pool is wonderful and has a spectacular view too.
