The Villino dell'Artista is located on a picturesque hiking trail between San Marco di Castellabate and the Punta Licosa nature reserve, directly above the sea. The window front and terrace offer pure sea views. A staircase leads from the property to a small bay.

ENGLISH VERSION
A picturesque hiking trail runs from San Marco di Castellabate to nature reserve Punta Licosa. Along this trail and right above the sea lies Villino dell'Artista. Its windows and terrace open upon a great view of the sea. From the premises, a stepped path runs down to a small bathing bay.

It is only a rather inconspicuous hiking trail that runs from San Marco's harbour to Punta Licosa through the evergreen vegetation of the Cilento. However, after a few hundred metres, the dense foliage thins out and opens up a breathtaking view of the deep blue of the Mediterranean. In the distance, the golden-brown medieval town of Castellabate sits enthroned on a hilltop; at its feet, the picturesque harbour town of San Marco di Castellabate unfolds.

A SPECTACULAR SEA VIEW
The Villino dell' Artista is located in this wonderful spot right by the sea. With its quarry stone façade, typical of the region, it blends into the landscape, initially quite inconspicuously, but the window front covering the entire long side, which offers a spectacular sea view from every room in the house, lends the whole thing a touch of sophistication. Stylish, expressive paintings in combination with furnishings that combine elegance with comfort complete this impression. Oriental ceramic tiles on the terrace exude a mystical touch.

A little away from the town, surrounded by the sea and nature, you can enjoy your holiday at Villino dell' Artista completely carefree.

This house is simply a work of art in itself!
The rooms of the house are large, bright and exude airiness and elegance. The living/dining room takes up most of the house. From here you can access the modern kitchen and the adjoining double bedroom with its own bathroom. Behind this bedroom is another bedroom with a double bed and bathroom. There is a fireplace in the living room, although you can simply switch on the central heating on cold days.
The large sliding glass doors give you access to the extensive terrace from both the living room and both bedrooms.

HEARTY OUTDOOR AREA - The uniquely beautiful seating area with Moroccan wall tiles is sheltered and covered at the entrance to the house. Two sun loungers invite you to indulge in sweet idleness under the southern Italian sun. A small staircase leads down from the terrace to your private bathing bay, where only a few divers might stray in summer.
You can park your car on the fenced property.

FURTHER INFORMATION & TIPS FOR TRIPS
The picturesque fishing village of San Marco di Castellabate with bars, restaurants and shops is around 500 metres away on foot. You only have to climb down the 80 steps from your terrace to go swimming.

You should definitely follow the hiking trail on your doorstep, as it leads you straight to the Cape of the Sirens, the westernmost point of the Cilento coast. This is where the Gulf of Salerno ends. In front of it is a flat island, the Isola di Licosa. Legend has it that the siren Leucosia threw herself into the water here, saddened by the fact that Odysseus resisted her beguiling song with a cunning trick.

The medieval mountain village of Castellabate is definitely worth a visit. Time seems to have stood still here: narrow alleyways, picturesque squares, mysterious courtyards and enchanted gardens characterise the picture.

ENGLISH VERSION
It seems rather inconspicuous, the hiking trail which runs from San Marco's harbour through the Cilento's evergreen vegetation to Punta Licosa. After only a few hundred metres, however, the dense foliage opens upon a breathtaking view of the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea. In the distance, bathed in golden brown, medieval Castellabate sits enthroned on a hilltop; sprawling at its feet, lies picturesque, small San Marco di Castellabate.

SPECTACULAR SEA VIEW
It is in this wonderful place right by the sea that you find Villino dell'Artista. With a quarry stone façade typical for the region, it blends into the landscape rather unspectacularly, at first sight; however, the row of large windows/French doors running the length of the house and due to which you have got a spectacular view of the sea from every room makes for a sophisticated touch. Tasteful, expressive paintings and furnishing which unites elegance and comfort top off this impression. Oriental ceramic tiles on the terrace add a mystic touch.

Somewhat apart from town, surrounded by sea and nature, you can enjoy relaxing, care-free holidays at Villino dell'Artista.

THIS HOUSE PER SE IS A WORK OF ART!
The rooms of the holiday home are large, bright and radiate an airy and elegant atmosphere. The living-/dining room takes up a large part of the house. From there, you enter the modern kitchen (incl. 4-burner gas stove, oven, refrigerator with freezer compartment, dishwasher) as well as a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. Behind this double lies another double bedroom with en suite bathroom.
In the living room as well as the two bedrooms, large glass sliding doors open onto the spacious terrace.

Furnishing of Villino dell'Artista also includes WiFi, air conditioning (extra charge in case of use) and a washing machine. On cool days, you can light a fire in the fireplace or turn on the central heating (extra charge in case of use).

WONDERFUL OUTDOOR AREA - The gorgeous, roofed seating area with Moroccan wall tiles lies sheltered near the entrance to the house.
Also at your disposal in the outdoor area: two loungers to enjoy dolce far niente under the southern Italian sun, an outdoor shower and a barbecue.
From the terrace, stairs run down to your private bathing bay; in summer, only a few divers might 'drift off' and into the bay.
Parking is available on the fenced premises.

FURTHER INFORMATION & TIPS FOR EXCURSIONS
The centre of the picturesque fishing village of San Marco di Castellabate with bars, restaurants and shops is a short walk (approx. 500 m) from Villino dell'Artista. To go for a swim in the sea, you only need descend the 80 steps from the villino's terrace to the bay.

The hiking trail 'at your doorstep' takes you straight to the Cape of Sirens, the westernmost point of the Cilento coast. That is where the Gulf of Salerno ends and where you find the offshore island of Isola di Licosa. Legend has it that Siren Leucosia, despaired at having failed to enchant Odysseus with her songs, threw herself into the sea there and drowned.

Do stop by the medieval mountain village of Castellabate, where time seems to have stood still: narrow alleys, picturesque squares, back courtyards with a touch of mystery and enchanted gardens mark the villagescape.
