Villa Angelico - Six Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 12

Villa Angelico is a beautiful blend of the old and the new, with a stunning setting inside Cilento National Park and close to an ancient village. Also close to the foot of Monte Gelbison, the villa and its extensive outside space offer breathtaking views of the lush and dramatic surrounding scenery. There’s also a separate pool house that provides flexible additional accommodation that makes Villa Angelico ideal for larger groups.

The villa is composed of a beautifully-restored main property and two independent suites on the upper floors, boasting an array of original features. Many of these date back to at least 1870. The sense of history can be felt throughout the cosy rooms that boast an abundance of natural materials, such as stone walls and wood ceilings and floors.

On the ground floor is a charming living space with comfortable sofas, flat screen television and doors leading to the outside space. A wonderful library is full of English and Italian books and gives you the perfect excuse to while away a quiet few hours. The elegant dining room is adjacent to a well-equipped kitchen, making meal times easy and convenient.

Both of the two independent suites have their own living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms, making them totally self-contained. One of the suites also has its own kitchenette, and the other enjoys terrace access.

The separate pool house is bright and modern, with a living room that features floor-to-ceiling glass patio doors that flood the space with light. They also give you direct access to the garden, outdoor dining area and swimming pool. There’s also a small kitchen and two double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom.

All guests at Villa Angelico can unwind within the beautiful and extensive outside space. Sit on the porch directly outside the main villa with a drink and take in views over the lovely garden. Further into the olive tree-dotted lawned garden is a patio area with outdoor dining for up to 10 people. An idyllic waterfall that flows into a small pond sits by a set of stone steps that take you down to the large, private swimming pool.

Scenic walks and hikes are on your doorstep at Villa Angelico, as it’s located within Cilento National Park and close to majestic Monte Gelbison. The park is also full of ancient sites to visit, such as the Greek temple of Paestum and the Greco-Roman remains of Velia. The picturesque medieval town of Novi Velia is around a 10-minute drive from the villa.

As well as mountain ranges and valleys being features of the immediate landscape, the coast is within easy reach too. Sandy beaches such as those at Marina di Ascea are less than 30 minutes away by car.
