Le Cannicelle. Italy
Le Cannicelle description
Ah, precious vacations: days and weeks en famille, relax and happiness, abundant quality time with the offspring...
The supreme luxury of a happy family has no price!
Le Cannicelle is a modern, three-story villa built in a traditional style, set 124 feet above sea level with stunning views stretching for miles along the Cilento coast. The villa is comfortably furnished in a contemporary style and each level is self-contained making it ideal for larger groups. Outside there is ample space for everyone to come together and enjoy the stunning sea views from one of the many terraces, lounge in the shade of a huge Mediterranean oak tree, soak up the sun around the pool, or enjoy a meal on the rustic 'taverna' dining terrace.
Surrounded by a big enclosed garden, it is the perfect accommodation for families with children.
The sandy beach at Villammare is only 600 metres away, and it is ideal for long walks - following the coast you can reach the town centre in 10 minutes. Villammare offers a small selection of bars and restaurants and in the summer has lively beach cafes and facilities. Sapri is a larger town with good train links to Salerno and Naples. Inland, the charming hilltop village of Vibonati is lit in ever-changing colours during the balmy summer evenings. Villammare sits at the foot of the Cilento National Park - the second largest in Italy stretching across a huge mountain range and an important ecological area with abundant wildlife. There are many historical sites to visit from the monastery at Padula to the temples of Paestum and the abandoned village of San Severino di Centola. Natural sites include, Mount Cervati, WWF oasis of Morigerati, Hair of Venus waterfalls and Grotte di Pertosa caves among many others.
This stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast is rugged and unspoilt - a glimpse of the Amalfi of the past, before it was 'discovered'. Take a boat trip from the delightful port at Scario to Porto Infreschi, passing caves and hidden coves en route and order a fresh seafood lunch from the boat-cum-restaurant which is moored in this tiny natural bay. Or drive south to see the impressive statue of Jesus high on a cliff top above Maratea. You can reach the Amalfi coast and the island of Capri by hydrofoil from Sapri harbor within 3 hours during the summer months - the perfect way to enjoy the Amalfi coast without staying in the tourist hustle and bustle!
